As Elections Loom, Thousands Still Displaced In D.R. Congo

KAYNA, CONGO - MARCH 19: Children pause from mashing corn March 19, 2006 in Kayna, D.R. Congo. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a country that loses an estimated 1,400 people per day due to war since 1998, is struggling to hold Presidential elections this summer. The volatile East of the country, which is situated hundreds of miles from the capital Kinshasa, has been the focal point of continued violence. Numerous militias and warlords have vied for control of the mineral rich eastern Congo for decades, creating instability and continued bloodshed. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
