    Dear Sir/Madam, i would like to inform you that if M23 is given a chance to lead the Eastern Congo people you will see a very big change in peace, unity and reconciliation and others among the people. Note this, MONUSCO MUST leave Congo because these are problem creators. Here MONUSCO exchanges weapons with interahamwe militias and Mai Mai rebels with weapons into minerals, we have evidence my dear. I have never heard UN complaining over FDLR killings in Congo but they shout when you attack them, Why? During CNDP Nkunda's regime UN could say "NO NKUNDA NO MONEY" so let UN quite DR Congo peace will enter. I remain Manzi, for more info contact me.

    Arthur Asiimwe, i really think that you should not talk about things you have no knowledge of as if you an expert. for your information the reason why this people are being ignored is because they have proven times and times again that they are not interested in peace at all and that only their pockets are their primary concern. as the congolese government has tried to address this so called griviences in the past it has been proven that this people and the countries behind them were not interested in peace and only instability in the kivus was beneficial to rwanda and uganda; the way i see it as a congolese, this is a good start but the next step should be targeting their rwandese and ugandans masters.
