DRC, elections inconclusive... Surprise surprise...

First article mentioning the fighting between supporters of Bemba and supporters of Kabila: KINSHASA (Reuters) - The European Union rushed more peacekeepers to Congo's capital Kinshasa on Tuesday as the U.N. tried to broker an end to gunbattles between President Joseph Kabila's soldiers and fighters loyal to his election rival. In the July 30 first round vote, Kabila gained 44.81 percent, well ahead of Bemba, who had 20.03 percent. But Kabila, who assumed the presidency when his father Laurent was assassinated in 2001, failed to obtain the more than 50 percent needed to win outright in the first round. The elections were meant to draw a line under a decade of conflict in the former Zaire, where a 1998-2003 war sparked a humanitarian crisis that killed more than 4 million people. But they have underlined deep political and ethnic divisions. Second article about the cease fire in Kinshasa today: KINSHASA (Reuters) - Soldiers loyal to Congolese President Joseph Kabila and fighters backing his election rival Jean-Pierre Bemba agreed on Tuesday to end days of gunbattles in the capital Kinshasa, U.N. sources said.
