Congo-Kinshasa: Road to Stability Riddled With Uncertainties

The ceremony at the presidential residence was a low-key affair attended by a select few, a far cry from the jubilant 2006 ceremony that ushered in a great promise after years of conflicts in the country. But the tension hit long before the Democratic Republic of Congo's chaotic election was concluded. Source
