L'Observateur, for its part, says the UN Security Council is coming to "further back the electoral process which has entered its final phase." They will "appease the minds amid differences of views over the political negotiations issue," further says the paper. "During its last visit to the DRC, the political situation was also tense as it is today but they managed to defuse it," recalls L'Observateur.

The visit "is definitely worth its weight in gold...The Congolese people must realise how sensitive the issue is and that the UNSC council's mission is to help restore peace to the DRC," says Le Palmarès.

"The UN Security Council Back to the DRC – For what purpose?," wonders La Tempête des Tropiques. The paper says the UN Security Council is not coming to the DRC "for sightseeing; they are coming to resolve the DRC crisis in the best interest of all the Congolese people; They need to re-examine the history of the sad rebellions the country has thus far faced after its independence, to better understand the Congolese people's frustrations."

Le Phare, for its part, predicts "An additional 12-month Transition." The paper argues, "The electoral process is too flexible and it would be difficult to set a time frame for the first round of the presidential and legislative elections combined with the second round. The most pessimistic say the final results will be made public on October and November; and three to four months will be required to clear all the electoral conflicts," says Le Phare.

"True nationalists fear that post-electoral contests plunge the country into chaos following wrong results of the polls," warns Le Phare.

The European Union "insists on successful Transition in DRC and warns political stakeholders against attempts to disrupt the process," reports Le Potentiel. The African Union "has urged the DRC political players to refrain from derailing the ongoing electoral process," further says the paper.

Referring to the decision by a group of ministers not to attend meetings held by the Vice-President for Reconstruction and Development, Le Potentiel highlights the need for urgently "putting in place a Government made up of technocrats to be led by a Prime Minister or Government's Coordinator." The paper therefore calls for "Government's resignation."
