Democratic Republic of Congo's government will call in the army if street protests become "too chaotic", a senior member of President Joseph Kabila's camp said on Monday, a day before full election results are due, according to Reuters. "We cannot let chaos prevail. If the situation became too chaotic for the police, we will definitely call for the army to come and help," Kikaya Bin Karubi, Congo's ambassador to Britian and a top official in Kabila's camp, told Reuters. International efforts are under way to defuse what many fear could escalate into a crisis after results are released in the country, still scarred by a 1998-2003 war. A national mediation commission is in place and former Zambian President Rupiah Banda may be involved in further talks, sources said.
