Steph: Your blog to date. Although I find it a fascinating issue, particularly with regards to the Congo (so kudos for selecting it), I'm not sure it has taken off quite yet. Remember, at a bare minimum, you're to be posting - and therefore trending events and developments twice a week, whilst at the same time developing a knowledge and an informed opinion about the country, its culture, its politics and the issues it faces. Perhaps this might be a good time to "re-tool" and engage anew. I've included some links below that might get you thinking...

(A BBC profile of the country - a ton of information and opinion here. One particular article: "Can the Congo be saved from crisis"... and some telling images.)

(A New York Times feature (Jan 24, 2011) on the Congo - it includes a feature that gathers all the information on the Congo in a news feed (the Congo Navigator) It also contains an RSS feed you could post on your blog for the Congo.)
