Well tha's your view, But based on the UN report everyone knows the reason's behind Congo war. one thing for sure is the M23 will never survived if they do no have any ammunition regardless how weak the Congolese army is. Congo can no longer play according to Kigali's rule. Congo is not as bad as people make it to be. slowly foreign investment is flocking in. I just wonder why many rwandan flock to congo (for business and education) if Congo was that bad. Why would you want to live the so called "Singapore of Africa" rwanda, for "the worse place in the world" Congo. Please do not let statistics foul you
I am very disappointed to see that All Africa can allow the publication of such skewed article that has neither fact and does not reflect the truth whatsoever. So basically what the writer is suggesting is that Kabila and the Congolese people should play the game of Kigali and the rules imposed by Kagame. FDLRs are indeed a threat to the regional stability but they are not the main cause of political instability in Eastern Congo. Rwanda has been using this as an alibi to continue invading Congo and looting Congolese resources. The conflict in Eastern Congo is and has never been a tribal or ethnic conflict as this writer wants us to believe. Kagame has been playing that card but this must end. Rwandophones in the Congo have been manipulated by the Government of Kigali and this article is only an example of that manipulation. People of Kivus including the Rwandophone have been living peacefully together until Kagame came to power with his expansionist ideas. Congo will stay one and indivisible.
