While the Democratic Republic of Congo's independent electoral commission declared incumbent Joseph Kabila the winner of the November 28th presidential election, several people have already been killed in post-election violence.

A year after we launched En Route To Sudan, an entire section of our website dedicated to news, articles and resources about Sudan, South Sudan, Darfur, Abyei, South Kordofan, Blue Nile, today we launch En Route To Congo.

If you read us frequently, you already know we closely follow the news from Congo you can find under the following tags: Congo of course and (sadly) under Conflict minerals. But we also mention Congolese artists in our weekly rendezvous 'Art in...'.

En Route To Congo provides:

- The latest news about Congo published on the Sama Gazette

- Must Read Articles about Congo with Le Congo Hebdo (Fr) and France24 (En)

- Art in Congo: The Great Congolese Artists (Alain Polo Nzuzi, Freddy Tsimba...)

- The tweets from our En Route To Congo List on Twitter

 - Blood in the Mobile, a documentary by director Frank Piasecki Poulsen

- The video: 'I'm a Mac ... and I've Got a Dirty Secret' by the Enough Project

- Raise Hope For Congo - Get The Album Now & Raise Hope!

- A list of books we recommend

This special page dedicated to the Democratic Republic of Congo will be updated as often as possible. We will soon add organizations working in Congo or supporting actions in Congo. If you think an important resource is missing, please let us know.

Since its October 2010 launch, En Route To Sudan has been a success with hundreds of visitors coming everyday for news about Sudan. Thanks to everyone supporting what we (humbly) do and we hope En Route To Congo will be useful too!
