 Congo

My "papa" says: the politicians can do whatever, but only God decides when it rains.

For the last few weeks, we have been bracing for mass protests in the capital. These never came. Foreign journalists are now eager to leave "dull" Congo.

The majority of the "Kinois" support the guy who failed to win the elections, the first in over 40 years. Speculations were high of unrest in the capital. Especially since last August downtown strife which killed a few (we never get accurate figures in this country).

Now, the last chance for chaos is when the Supreme Court validates the elections. The sun is shinning although the clouds are still on the horizon. Better keep positive, I say.
