Congo catholic church rejects poll 2012 1 13

Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) President Joseph Kabila (L) shakes hands with Catholic Archbishop Laurent Monsengwo (R) at the end of an ecumenical ceremony, 17 October 2004 in KIsangani during his landmark visit to the troubled east of the vast central African country. The two-hour service was held at Saint Joseph's Church in Kisangani's Tchopo district, which was especially hard hit during the DRC's 1998-2003 war.
