african authority should take care of rebels and terrorise matter. security should be the priority actualy.
This is just more deflection from M23. M23 does not want to confront the real issues and DR Congo doesn't either, so they fall back on this scheme to blame the UN. The UN did not cause Congo's problems. M23 and DR Congo are entirely to blame for the looting, rapes, and murders of the Congolese people. Especially DR Congo, whose primary job is to protect its citizens, not mandate FARDC to commit these atrocities as stand operating procedure.
The undeniable fact that both M23 and DR Congo are responsible for savaging the Congolese people must be addressed. Instead of pointing fingers at the international community, both M23 and DR Congo must formulate a strategy to cease the human rights abuses that are destroying the country.
