Rising disorder roiled the Democratic Republic of Congo in the wake of a long-delayed and chaotic presidential vote, threatening to disrupt Ebola treatment and a mining industry that serves global electronics production. The election, initially slated for December 2016, was beset by multiple delays and unrest before the country’s 40 million voters finally had the opportunity to go to the polls on Sunday. Official, preliminary results are expected to be released on Jan. 6 and final results on Jan. 15.
