KITCHANGA, Democratic Republic of Congo–U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley was moved to tears on Oct. 26 after visiting a nearly decade-old camp for Congolese displaced by violence in the country’s east, and insisted there has to be a way to hold “safe and fair elections.”

Haley, the most senior member of President Donald Trump’s administration to visit Democratic Republic of Congo, traveled by helicopter to Mungote camp in Kitchanga, home to some 15,000 displaced people.
