Its Not about the minerals. DRC Please tell the true story. Its about the Genocidal anti Rwanda FDLR and other Rebels active in DRC, that is fighting alongside the DRC army FARDC, against the M23 and also threatening Rwanda. The DRC government has been backing FDLR for 28 years, that's the MAIN reason the Congo Wars started in 1996. So stop blaming every one else, when you are the cause of your own problems. The sooner DRC deals with this Problem, the better for peace in the region.

If the DRC is serious about peace in the long term in that region they must recruit most of the young congolese 18 and above from this particular region to be properly and thoroughly trained in modern combat to be able to defend that territory......

[@kabalisavdp2052]

South Africa, pls stop interfering in internal Congoleses issues, You will loose more soldiers if you stay there. Instead of fighting M23, I would advise you to help organize negotiations, that will bring sustainable peace. As you know, you can not win a battle against people who are fighting for their land and rights

[@thelmapond-fp2oj]

Do banyarwanda have rights the world over? Iam just curious. I hear TANZANIA chased 2 millions, as they entered Uganda, started grabbing land killing nationals Now I hear congo they want north kivu. My daughter asked me " why do we claim every where"?. I honestly had no answer.
