Money, not politics, behind Congo constitutional amendment, VOA News (2010)

This article comments the proposed constitutional changes that would modify the electoral system in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. According to the information minister, Lambert Mende, the country's economic condition is the main reason for the amendment that would eliminate the second round for the presidential elections, as the international community will be unable to fund the upcoming November elections. According to Mr Mende, this amendment will now weaken the opposition in any way.
