While the DR Congo prepares for elections next month, a tangle of armed groups are still involved in decades long conflict over - among other things - minerals, and an ebola outbreak, which is proving hard to contain.

Jean-Pierre Lacroix is undersecretary for peacekeeping at the United Nations. He talked to Audrey Brown after visiting the epicentre of the ebola outbreak in eastern DR Congo, just before he left the country.
