Congo on Sunday faces a troubled, long-delayed electionKINSHASA, Congo (AP) — Congo's presidential election takes place on Sunday after more than two years of delays. Protests , an opposition outcry and the surprise barring of 1 million voters from the polls over an Ebola outbreak marked the final days of preparations. The country faces what could be its first peaceful, democratic transfer of power as President Joseph Kabila, who took office in 2001, steps aside. Some observers, however, fear further unrest. The election commission chief has worried openly about rebels shooting voters waiting at the polls. Typical Which Congo? Did the American Gov find a carefully selected President in Congo like they do around the world

Congo delays Sunday's election for months in Ebola zoneKINSHASA, Congo (AP) — Congo's already long-delayed election set for Sunday will be postponed for months in certain communities where a deadly Ebola virus outbreak has infected hundreds of people, the country's electoral commission announced Wednesday. Some in the opposition quickly called it a ploy to hurt their chances at the polls. The election in and around Beni and Butembo in North Kivu province, and Yumbi in Mai-Ndombe province, will be in March instead, the commission's statement said. That's long after Congo's 'definitive' presidential election results are set to be announced on Jan. 15, with the inauguration three days later. Fingers crossed. Thats their flu like outbreak. Congo election..... riiiiiiight
