		<description>Why Joseph Kabila can not prove to Congolese people that he is Congolese or originally from congo to end this confusion?  I personally believe that every Congolese knows his or her village name. That why we have &quot;régions, sous-régions, zones, collectivités and localités!!!!&quot;</description>

		<description>I was listening to the world service and an observer was worried about the amount of weaponry openly carried at rallies.  I hope for the best as this region of Africa has been plagued by war and corruption.</description>

		<description>Political tensions are high, but it’s good to know that the militias are willing to give these elections a chance. I however worry when folks like the United States (US) express confidence that the weekend elections will be free and fair, I am not sure how they can be so sure. When Joseph Kabila, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) president, has already assured his supporters he will come out as the winning candidate. I just wonder….

But I hope, like you have said in your post that this is a starting point for better things in the future. I really hope so</description>
