Thankfully there was no violence during the election in the Democratic Republic of Congo and their name might finally match their state. I have been especially harsh on the UN of late but it looks like the 17,000 troops in the D.R. of Congo helped.
I hope that these elections were fair and that people elect someone who will improve conditions.
Update: Former PM Joe Clark helped oversee the election and he was interviewed on Canada AM.

That’s a good place for Joe. Let’s hope he decides to stay there. Anywhere but Canada.

It’s a shame that such a personal attack should mar such a good post as this.

I agree that it is out of place. While fault a guy for trying to do some good?

I shall promptly fall on my sword. In the meantime, let’s hope Joe continues to do his fine work … outside Canada.
