| [Iran Press TV] The upper house of the parliament, Senate, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material... has scrapped a proposed change to a controversial election law that would allow President Joseph Kabila to extend his stay in power. The senators on Friday agreed to modify the proposed law, which had already been passed by the lower house -- the National Assembly -- in its original form. |
