  1. The displacement and traumatization of rural citizens of the DRC had been going on for years. The world and the Church prefer to remain blind and apathetic. "Closely monitoring" … my behind!

  2. After all blood shade and all suffering we have caused to our salves we have failed to learn that love, unity peace and use of wisdom is the solution of our problems.

    Instead we have allowed to be influenced by hatred, greed and ego. And also we have allowed differences in belief, region, nation, education, talent or ability and technology to separate us and sow in us hatred, ego or selfishness and greed. Now we fight, kill and do all sorts of evil to each other for land, money and resources. Innocent people are dieing as a sacrifice due to wars and fighting over things which we will leave when we die.

    No matter what we do if we don't learn how to love each other, to be united, to know how to live in peace and to use wisdom we will never prevent suffering.

  3. This stupidest Tchisekedi , who think that he should end the war by slaugthering all the Tutsi from Congo , will never be successful . He just has 2 options , either to put forward negociation or to end himself like Mubutu. The laste option is closer if he keep following the advice of the blind psdt of Burundi.

  4. Shame on South Africa gvrt , pretending defending human rights, and went support the gvrt of DRC to slaughter his own citizen. South Africa and Burundi are known genocodaire , stop from killing Congolaises Tutsi on their own soil.
    South-Africa jump to show off in defending Hamas in Palestinia, at the same time at the same time slaugthering Congolaise Tutsi , South Africa should be held responsible for this genocide of Tutsi in Congo.

  5. I don't know why we can't learn that the so cold UN soldiers don't care for Africans' lives. They were in Rwanda in 1994 while the genocide was happening to their watch, they in congo waiting to another free action movie

  6. "A slave who is not able to assume his rebellion does not deserve that we feel sorry for his fate.

    This slave will alone answer for his misfortune if he has illusions about the suspicious condescension of a master who claims to free him." Thomas Sankara.
    Once Congolese and Africans understand that they will be able to put their difference aside, unite and put their strength together for a better Africa. UN or African unity organization are weak are not there to solve the problem but to maintain the crisis in a perpetual state.

  7. The UN as been there almost 30 years without any solution as longer UN stay in RDC M23 will never go away it will be the game of conflict for years and we all know the truth

  8. For the people saying the. The Congolese government should negotiate with the M23, what will be the outcome of the negotiation?

    Also how are the Tutsi’s Congolese if they migrated from Rwanda ?

  9. We know that Rwanda pays people like you to insult those who don't share their views and opinions, yet you look and see that you don't know the truth of what is happening in the Congo. The government of Rwanda spent many years fighting with the FDRL and won the war that cost millions of Congolese, and now you want them to continue to support you in your robbery with Uganda. in umbrella of M23, you were discovered.
