YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

We'll soon find out who will be the new president of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Election results are expected to be announced Sunday. Whoever wins will finally end Joseph Kabila's 17-year rule. This could be Congo's first peaceful transition of power since gaining independence from Belgium in 1960. However, there's already been reports of voting irregularities. Willis Sparks, a CBSN contributor and Signal newsletter writer for GZERO Media, explains the significance.
