I am disappointed that this article has been written by someone doing studying for a Master's degree in Conflict Resolutions at a Britiush University. It is really a shame. There have been democratic elections in the DRC, and democratic institutions have been put in place. In 2006, the People of Congo gave their verdict. Anyone wanting to lead the DRC has to be elected by the people. Laurent Nkundabatware Mihago was a General in the Congolese Army, a top official. For you to say that he has been sidelined politically shows that you have no idea about what is happening in the Congo. You have a responsibility, as a Rwandan citizen, to prevent genocide from taking place again in your own country. It is likely it could happen again as long as the Hutus are excluded from the political power system. To exclude them further your country leadership has even adopted English to meet the needs of the tutsi leadership vs the hutus, who are Francophone. Create a political environment that would be an incentive for the hutus in exile to return to Rwanda so that they can help rebuild your country that depends 99% on foreign aid and on looting the Congolese people's resources. For those who thought they could split the Congo into small states in order to give space to Rwanda because it cannot cope with its birthrate, one of the highest in the world, I tell them that their dream will never come true. The entire World is now waking up to the reality that the Congolese people, despite their multiple languages and ethnic groups, are more united than previously thought, and attempt to divide them will not succeed. Long live the Congo!

While reading the above topic you can easily detect a Rwandese language and understand how keen they are to partake in the DRCongo's business. DRC big or naturally rich should be a Congolese business. Any other countries interested to re-structure this big nation, if they are very close and sharing the same border, must first accept to become a DRCongo's department then get involve with the all-business. It is really deplorable to see an entire nation loosing sleep, forgetting their own basic needs and planning to build up projects on other people's resources. Such interests and desires will soon die away as everyone has got their own land and the future looms really strange and different. Jesus-Christ will remain the ultimate judge, amen!

I would disagree even if what you say may appear, at first glance, to make some sort of sense. The idea that Congo is a table where politicians such as Nkunda, Kabila or whoever can serve themselves is really rubbish. And that, for me, is what forms the basis for your sympathy for Nkunda. Nkunda fought, like many other Congolese and not all of them are on that table you are referring to.

You also do not give any thought on what the people of the Congo feel, think or want. Anyone who wants to SERVE HIS COUNTRY should do so without seeking to steal from it or destroy it. I would have been impressed if Nkunda became a politician and convinced, not only his tribesmen, but all Congolese that he has better options for the country than Kabila.

Dear Felix Emojong

I would like to remind you that Laurent Nkundabatware Mihago's days are numbered. He will sooner or later be captured alive or dead, either by the FARDC, the Congolese people or by his own entourage. Despite the atrocities he has committed in the Congo, you Rwandans continue to support him because he is a Tutsi. Ironically you are urging the DRC to hunt rwandan's genocide suspects. Nkundabatware is nothing else but a criminal, just like some hutu elements that are hiding in the Democratic Republic of Congo. You can't condemn one genocide and allow and encourage another. I know for certain that 2009 will not be like 2008. The Congo will have to go forward and become a superpower at the heart of Africa. You may not like it, but nobody is going to stop the Congolese people's resolve to put an end to the sufferings and to pave a way for a national revival.

Dear Godfrey

I am quite astonished by the way you predicted the situation in the DRC. What you said about Laurent Nkundabatware is exactly what has happened. You are a prophet! The world needs people like you who are able to see far beyond the horizons

What did I tell you about your general L.Nkundabatware Mihago? On Jan 5th 2009 I told you that his days were numbered. I also predicted that jhe would sooner or later be captured dead or alive. It has happened. I am not an expert on the Gret Lakes Region, but I could read the signs. The plot was set and it was only a matter of time for the act to unfold.
