Kenya will do everything it can to help Congo get it right. The problems of Congo are all well documented. The problems cannot be solved by the same people who have a hand in creating them. This week we are sending our Kenyan military to the Eastern DRC to disarm and restore peace in the region. Our Special Forces have been in the area for over 3 months, gathering intel, and just a few days ago, President Ruto ordered a full deployment of a battle ready force sufficient to get the job done. We hope this will not be another Somalia, where Kenya has had a military presence for over a decade. Our job is to disarm, restore peace, and the Congolese can do the rest.

[@dancunotieno2813]

The peace talks are just cosmetic application to the real issue,if you follow geopolitics and economic,we know who are reaponsible for this exploitation and inhumane treatment of Congolese people,France,Belgium,China,USA,should let the congolose people enjoy theire God-given natural resources,they should stop creating chaos and stealing from Congo

[@Dan13Speed]

@@dancunotieno2813 You are right however lets not get philosophical about the DRC. It's not that complicated. Every time we blame a foreigner for destroying Africa, we must remember that this foreigner isn't acting alone. He has African collaborators working with him. The CIA killed Lumumba, and installed an African (Mobutu Sese Seko) to ravage the Congo. Mobotu did not operate alone. He had his entire Political Machinery of Congolese that destroyed their country, and sold it to the highest bidder. That regime was ousted by Kabila Senior, who was funded and supported by Rwanda and Uganda, who are now taxing the Congolese, by stealing their minerals. Kenya has just committed to deploy her troops at the annual cost of 8 billion shillings to the Kenyan Tax Payer. As soon as the Kenyan legislature approves the deployment, it will become official.

[@bavukapatriciawabandu6612]

@@Dan13Speed thank you so much Dan. You know very well our hell history. Well done. Unfortunately the multinationals who are operating these atrocities denied their responsibilities. Rwanda and ouganda can not do these horrific besogne themselves it because they have the act by their friends international community as united kingdoms nirth america France and Germany are their parrains. Why? Because The actual United Nations President mr Buterress said to Dr Congo few weeks ago that the UN can not combat Rwanda and ouganda because UN doesn't have the sophisticated minutions or arms that the Rwanda M23 and ADF Nalu ougandese rebels have. The UN soldiers in the Est of Dr Congo refuse to fight Rwanda and ouganda rebels in our sol. Now The International Community is telling Dr Congo to dialogue with those rebels that their parrains have created in Dr Congo. Rwanda is worried about the FDLR saying that Dr Congo is helping them to invade Rwanda. FDRL are hutu etnicity those rwandese refugees who flee the genocide of 1994 by the tutsi kagame and the UN HR said to mobutu to open the door for those hutu rwandese for not to be killed by kagame. Unfortunately Dr Congo didn't desarm those hutu soldiers rwandese were fleeing seeking refuge in our country Dr Congo. And those hutu rwandese started to impose dictate their wishes in force using their arms on Congolese people and fabricating fake stories that they have been in the Est of Congo since 1929 before indepence of Congo. And kagame was sending it army in Dr Congo to kill those hutu rwandese refugees in Dr Congo as is doing everywhere around the world sending it's spies to catch his opposants of his regime and kill them. Kagame is a virus covid around the world especially in Africa

@@emeldamachuki4520 Yes. "Shillings" you mean!! We have a great opportunity to add value to DRC's minerals, timber and agricultural produce in Kenya, and greatly create mutual benefits for both countries in trade. I think this is the only thing that can justify an 8 billion shilling defense spending in an already struggling economy. I am NOT too surprised by the silence of World Powers on this deployment. Theirs has been a policy of supporting proxy wars to facilitate the stealing of resources from the DRC. The UN especially which has been totally useless from day 1, when they were mandated in 1960 to protect Lumumba, after DRC's (Zaire's) independence, only to allow a coup by Mobutu and the Belgium's and Americas to Torture Lumumba and execute him.
