Polling Stations Destroyed in the DRC as Election violence grows

The killings sparked rioting, and villagers in Fataki burned down 43 polling stations and the ballots stored within them, Salmeron said from the eastern town of Bunia.

The violence came as tallies were posted at polling stations across the vast DRC and hundreds of UN pickups and minibuses swept around the capital collecting ballots from the run-off, which pits President Joseph Kabila against Vice-President and former rebel leader Jean-Pierre Bemba.
