[@gastonmodestkaziri2566]

Mr. Gatebuke well done your narration nears the truth! The truth is since 1960s Tutsis of East Africa has been pursuing a Tutsi-Hima agenda of forming Hima empire! These guys thet do not listen to any thing and will do anything possible to meet their objectives. See what happened in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi in 1962-2003 and now DRC where they need to capture North Kivu and declare it a break way from DRC and make it a new republic under Tutsis. Then once they have taken North Kivu it will be the turn of Burundi, then Tanzania and they will be done! But to achieve their objectives an uphill task lays ahead of them because of the following reasons: Number one, Rwandese new generations do not want to wage manhunt of their fellow Rwandese Hutus. Secondly, Rwanda will be commiting suicide to attempt attacking Tanzania. Third, Burundi which now has Hutu-Tutsi armed forces will be more dangerous to attack because that will clearly mark the end of Tutsis role politically in the all East African countries! Ugandans will no longer tolerate the Bahima now ruling the country.

You're right it's an "African" problem but it's actually a regional and even bi-national issue. But what exactly do you mean by "united"? Unite who and how? By taking Chinese money in exchange for your natural resources and infrastructure? For what? Yall can barely keep your actual countries together. Ethiopia is about to start a war with Egypt, right now with this dam. How can you "unite"? You have no historical foundation for any unity beyond your tribes and ethnic groups, which isn't necessarily a problem. But if you can barely feed the people in your own country how in the hell are you going to "unite"? Develop your OWN country then trade with your neighbors and the rest of the world. Yall need to think in REALITY, not fantasy. The fact that they're actually talking about the Belgians, in this video is simply delusional. "Unite", right now would just be mass migration from extremely poor and unstable to countries to barely stable countries, think Nigerians fleeing to Ghana by the millions. What do you think will happen in Ghana, or South Africa or Namibia when millions of poor, no-skilled migrants try to flood their country?? You're already seeing the results of this in S. Africa.

[@cavaleermountaineer3839]

"The resources of the Congo could feed the whole continent." Exhibit A of delusional thinking. Why should the Congo use its resources to feed any country other than itself? Particularly given it's desperate state of development. This thought pattern is yalls number one problem. Africa is at best a geographic reference, created by first Romans then "Europeans". This region has zero history of "unity" or "cooperation". The only reason you're following this logic right now is because so many of your countries are undeveloped or barely developing. In the early stages of development countries are far better served to focus on THEMSELVES. Why? Because there aren't enough resources for anything else. I see and hear all these academics talking but I hear very little reality based, history based thinking. Good luck.

[@jaybelle1909]

Since each nation is too weak to put down bad rebel groups in their own nation and since there are levels of mistrust between them they should form a coalition force with fighters from each nation to go after these rebel; this way working together they are strong enough to deal with groups while limiting the chance of abuse per the coalition keeps them in check... Congo needs to give up every person who took part in genocide; this should've been done a very long time ago... Obviously you can't hold every single person accountable per lack of proving it but the main culprits can be taken out... There are women who are just as guilty as men so making a claim like "mostly women and children fled to drc" is irrelevant... These conflicts and disputes are ridiculous as these nations could be very prosperous working together but instead they are in constant conflict all over pride

He purposely avoided stating that the genocidaires fled to Congo with all assets and military equipment after killing 1 m Tutsis. They started attacking Rwanda from their newly set up camps in Congo. That's how this whole thing started. You can not talk about the East Congo conflict without acknowledging the role Congo played in the Rwanda conflict that preceded the genocide against the Tutsis in RWANDA and the subsequent cozy relationship that Congo maintained with the genocidaires who settled on its territory and continued to launch attacks on Rwanda.

Like Rwanda sevoring relations with France(implicated in Haitian crisis and all other French country's crises), this is reason to let go the so called Commonwealth as an instrument of regional hegemony and subjugation NOW. 3. DRC should align with Russia & China and boot everyone out for the sake of its people who have surferred for long. 4. African Union should NOT tolerate expansionist policies within its union mbers. 5.

You, Kagamists, always use the FDLR as an excuse for your involvement in the Eastern Congo while knowing you can’t provide evidence for your grandiose assertions. Anyone who disagrees with the Tutsi dominated RPF government is immediately accused of being FDLR. Apparently, scrambling Congolese minerals needs scapegoats. Some media outlets, even some famous individuals who support the RPF tend to imply in their speeches, that the word Hutu means killer. I didn’t see the Tutsis demonstrate when many Banyamulenge were viciously slaughtered in the Kiziba refugee camp by the Rwandan Defense Forces (RDF)? Where was your reactions? We know your games! The Banyamulenge who are killed are fictitious and imaginary beings existing only in the minds of the Inkotanyi.

Who is supporting other label group from Congo? Can you clarify about the source of fire arm that they use ? Rwanda has no single soldier in DRC, But DRC has crossed border more than times you thing ? do you think DRC has no support for FDLR? and if Rwanda has supported M23 The situation should not be the same?

THE BEST WAY TO SOLVE THE ISSUES IN CONGO IS TO TENDER THE MINERALS MINING BUSINESS TO HIGHIEST BIDDER ( USA RUSSIA OR CHINA). The winner of the tender should provide security in the region and also develop the livelihood of the people of Congo in accordance to their wishes. These tenders to be renewed or re-advertised after such a time agreed upon. And monitoring of the conditions and terms to be strict. WHEN THE MINERALS BUSINESS IS TENDERED TO THE SUPERPOWERS WITH INTERESTS OF THE CONGOLESE PUT FIRST, WAR S AND CONFLITS THERE WILL END IN TWO DAYS. WE ALL KNOW THE CONFLITS ARE TO CREATE ROOM FOR PLUNDERING OF RESOURCES. THE WORLD TRADE ORGANISATION SHOULD GET SOME WORK AND SHOW ITS USE IN SETTING UP THESE DEALS

Are you out of your mind. Africa wanted to be on their own and now calling people who don't have interest of Africa people to come and take control of their minerals.

What I don't understand with DRC, you have a bigger economy, you have minerals compared to all your neighbours. Why have Congolese failed to modernise and train well your army to be able to protect your country's population and all your minerals. DRC army is a disgrace, one bullet like this throw away the guns and run. Uganda's army, Rwanda's army you fear them like Gods. If you can't kill Ugandan and Rwandan battalions that come to steal in Congo you will never be respected. Wipe them out entirely to respect your territory. Bring experts, train your army, equip them with modern military machines, if you can't do that when surrounded by neighbours who are thieves stop crying. Cry will never help you, just one bullet is enough to disperse DRC army, what do you really have? Check your army which is always running and loosing all battles, what are they?

What East Africa need urgently is a common Defence Pact and a Millitary High Command. Whilst some NATIONS are destabilizing the REGION, ARABS in particular are pressing to aquire parts of the the SAHEL. This is why the NEED becomes imperative. The young ladies and gentlemen enrolled in the military service of the USA, UK and France could join such a Force. I am confident that East Africa can creat a Force of about 1.5 Million soldiers to guard against our wealth, whereby the demand for every need should be created and supplied within Africa and not from outside, irrespective of whether the demanded items have less Quality. REMEMBER, THE COMPANIES CAN ONLY GROW OR BE PERFECTED THROUGH R&D. Africa must start to coordinate joinly, the Production of CAPITAL GOODS resuting from creating Platforms for Private and National Engineering Entities. Such Activities must be backed by, and with National sovereignties. This is imperative. African Historians may examine and see that this is the right time to embark on such ventures. Please examine carefully which historical events boosted the Independence Achievements towards Independence in Africa, especially North, West and East.
