    It’s sad to always rationalise and project our problems elsewhere. The complications in the region often originate in the vacuum created by failure to manage our internal problems. Leaving the Neo-colonialists to manage us remotely after the so called “independence" will always pitch neighbour against neighbour. This is done smartly using the so badly abused institutions like UN and its affiliated NGOs and hiding behind good sounding organisations the likes like of "Human rights" watch and others to profit the powerful of this world under their club of sharing world resources in their “New world order”. We need to wake up otherwise we shall remain fertile grounds for exploitation. Do we need for example France to tell Congolese with grievances to disband and die??? Why can’t we listen to each other instead of France hiding behind the UN to condemn people who resort to putting their lives on line to make their voices heard? Why have UN failed to understand and prevent the root causes terrorism? Why should MONUSCO fight Congolese? Whose interest is there to protect, at least on paper? France has done havoc in West Africa, Rwanda 1994 and now again wants to do its things through UN not Turquoise! Why don’t Africans learn? Why does the developed world want peace at home but fuel conflicts elsewhere??? Isn’t this one of the causes of the global terrorism? Where is AU voice to condemn those sidelining ICGLR peace initiative? Does France care about us than our neighbours? Shame to the exploiters of the poor! UN has to show leadership not be partisan to conflicts and people should be equal to the so called Human rights organisations!! Who will defend the weak and the marginalised in this world?? Who has been raping and killing our people for the last 10years?

    people from the volatile part of Eastern Congo should now on start thinking of managing their own affairs without the presence of the weakest leadership of DRC gvt. people from have scored unnumbered sort of human abuses perpetrated by the gvt troops, the taxes don't return back to the east, once in kinshasa never back. unemplyment rate, poor quality school, everything in that part has stopped to function. let give a chance for others to try with like own currency, defense and security system, own state institutions, economy etc..
