Maybe today?

Thanksgiving dinner, 2011

Please check out my colleague Chelsie's blog with an update on the elections. Chelsie Frank in the Congo:

I want to ask you to take time to pray for peace and justice to reign in the DRC. There is an African Swahili proverb that says, “When and where two elephants fight, it is the grass that gets trampled. (Wapiganapo tembo, nyasi huumia.)” May God protect the civilians, thwart plans of wicked people seeking to benefit from instability, give wisdom to those in power, bring stabilizing pressure at a macro/international level, and strengthen Congolese democracy.

Also, Jason Stearns updated some vote figures... It's interesting, for sure. Go to his blog by clicking here.

Today is supposed to be the day when the election results are announced. It seems likely that whether just or not (as Adam Nossiter of the NY Times indicates in After Vote, Congo Braces for Expressions of Discord), Kabila will win the election.

Not so surprising to most. But still disappointing to many. So we continue to wait for the official results.

Please keep on praying for our friends and colleagues in the DR Congo.

Thank you.
