• Congo-Kinshasa: Britain and America Target DR Congo

    Fahamu (Oxford), 29 November 2012

    What is happening in eastern DR Congo is not a civil war, but continuation of a 16-year aggression by the country's two neighbours, financed and directed by the United States and Britain.

    don't be naive, if the USA and Britain wanted to take over Congo they don't need Rwanda. it is your stupid leadership which has failed your nation. Rwanda helped to liberate you from Mobutu but still you went back in your chaos

    WHAT DO YOU THINK. SOME PEOPLE IN THE WEST STILL THINK AND HAVE THESE IMPERILISM, COLONIZATION, DESTRUCTIVE AND HOLD UNDER MENTALITIES THAT AFRICA AND AFRICAN SHOULD NOT AND WILL NOT ADVANCE OR DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT THEM SAYING IT. IF WE "AFRICANS AND AFRICA" LET THEM CONTINUE TO DICTATE OUR FUTURE DESTRUCTIVELY; DOOMS DAYS ARE CLOSER TO US "AFRICA AND AFRICANS". WHY? IT'S ALL ABOUT THE RICH MINERIAL RESOURCES THAT AFRICA HAVE AND NOTHING ELSE.

    The author, Mr Lokongo, is a confused mind. Bosco Ntagada is formally an officer of the FARDC and he has been protected not by Rwanda but your own president Joseph Kabila. How can you then blame president kagame? It’s strange that you labeled Ntagada as a stranger tutsi while considering Kabila as your dearest president. If only you knew that both men actually share the same root. Another non-sense, “After Laurent Kabila was assassinated, the whole international community imposed what was called the 'brassage' or integration of the army”. No, your own president Joseph Kabila turns the recommended “brassage” into a fast-track process he called “mixage” under the surprise of MONUC and the international community. Now that your own process failed, you don’t have the honesty of admitting it and prefer blaming Rwanda and Western countries. Another false and embarrassing detail raised by the author is his confusion about the role Rwanda and Uganda are playing in the M23 conflict. First, Mr Lokongo isn’t aware of the fact that Uganda is the mediator in the talk that is taking place in Kampala. How on earth would it be possible for all the Congolese parties to accept such a mediation if they didn’t trust Uganda? President Kabila has been visiting and staying overnight in Kampala at the same time than President Kagame while sharing dinner with the two presidents Mr Lokongo is mistakenly citing as responsible of the crisis. Who knows better the facts: Joseph Kabila or the author. Even further, in the declaration signed in Kampala on November 24, president Kabila himself suggested that the chief of Staff or Uganda and Rwanda supervise military operations in eastern Congo. That request was included as point 5 in the final declaration. Now Mr Lokongo wants to mislead readers by falsely claiming that Rwanda or Uganda are behind the M23. Either the author doesn’t understand what is going on in the DRC or he’s just confused in its logic. In either case, he should either thanks Uganda and Rwanda for helping in the filling the void of leadership that the entire world is seeing in the DRC or blame his own president for being so stupid and willing to have the entire world from Uganda, Rwanda, Angola, MONUSCO, China and now SADC, do the job for him.
