KINSHASA, Jan 4 (Reuters) - Democratic Republic of Congo’s ruling coalition accused the country’s Catholic Church on Friday of behaving in an “irresponsible and anarchic” way after it said it knew the winner of last Sunday’s presidential election.

That’s basically it. I hope they do not have unrest over this election. Oh, and also, the Catholic Church (which some articles comment on is a respected authority, have said they know who won the election, meaning probably the opposition, see next article).

Updating this story, we, the USA, have sent 80 soldiers to a neighboring country to DR Congo in case there is civil strife. The troops can then, aid Americans to evacuate. So, this is a situation that could get out-of-control. Also, the election results have so far, been delayed in telling the public. This would seem to indicate, well, that maybe the ruling government did not conduct a fair election.
