Yes we heard them; what they said is what has been repeated for the past 15 years. Now,spare sometime and read ICG's Mark L. Schneider testimony.<br />It touches all aspects of the crisis, not just the usual noise about RWANDA, RWANDA, RWANDA....<br />On pg 2, you can read the following: "....four other key issues that remain crucial to stability in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: post-electoral dynamics; Security Sector Reform; conflict minerals and oil and natural resources; and the role of MONUSCO."<br /><br />2. ICG also posted a report earlier July 2012 titled "Black Gold in the Congo: Threat to Stability or Development Opportunity? " This one is more elaborate and brings to light what are the stakes for various countries,including what you call Congo's allies.<br /><br />3. Bishop Ntambo is not a catholic; he is a Methodist from Katanga. The other bishop Dieudonné Mbaya Tshiakany who went to the UN is from the "Église du Christ au Congo", an evangelical church. I just wonder where are the heavy weights of the influential Catholic church such as Cardinal Monsengwo Pasinya Laurent. Is that a disavowal from the catholic church of kabila's regime?<br /> <br />4. Salvation of Congo won't come from a group of people sitting in a congress 7000 miles away. This year alone three hearings on Congo happened in the congress:<br /> Congressional Hearing - U.S. Policy Toward Post-Election D.R. Congo - Feb 2, 2012 <br /> Congressional Hearing- The Continuing Human Rights Crisis in LRA-Affected Regions - June 19, 2012<br /> Congressional Hearing- Examining the Role of Rwanda in the DRC Insurgency - September 19, 2012<br />Previous years, there were on average 3 hearings on Congo before the congress. You can find out how many times DR Congo crises were tabled before the UN security council.<br />The point I am trying to make is that there was never a problem of IC attention on Congo. Actually there is an " over attention".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09953833321757981990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209670742820403516.post-42228607801877759422012-09-24T20:17:04.074-07:002012-09-24T20:17:04.074-07:00Jimmy choo bag can not meet your needs, but in Jim...<a href="http://www.jimmychoobagssales.com/" rel="nofollow">Jimmy choo bag</a> can not meet your needs, but in <a href="http://www.jimmychoobagssales.com/" rel="nofollow">Jimmy choo handbag</a> here you will see you can not think outside the <a href="http://www.jimmychoobagssales.com/" rel="nofollow">Jimmy choo purse</a> designs.Welcome to come to watch http://www.jimmychoobagssales.com/<br />ba sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461937230999852843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209670742820403516.post-48582313606318093592012-09-24T12:23:11.408-07:002012-09-24T12:23:11.408-07:00At least one oil company is reported to have recen...At least one oil company is reported to have recently financed an African revolution.

We can’t be dispirited by headlines,rumors or circumstantial setbacks. WE ARE WINNING BECAUSE OUR CAUSE IS NOBLE. At least now everyone understands that the enemy behind Kagame is considerable. Kagame is just a small fry; Kagame is really a mere “gun for hire” for these int’l mining and banking vultures.<br />Now is the time for us individual Congolese to defend Congo in whatever capacity.<br /><br />(1)Here is the last USA congress hearing on Congo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJx34zYKyw4). What Bishop Ntambo is saying should be our message, apolitical and beyond party-lines.

The senseless war in the Kivus is just another hurdle that we have to go over to make Congo the paradise that it is. <br /><br />For too long the world has been lied to by the int’l media with the anti-Congo propaganda that has distorted the real image of Congolese. <br /><br />Sticking to world boxing, Congolese can be proud of these 3 young Congolese boxers. Especially check out how they proudly raise the Congolese national flag:<br />(1) In France, Youri Kalenga “El Toro” is a menace and an enternment (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEX9d8mTzyo) <br />(2) In South Africa, Zack Mwekassa “Black Worrier” is said to be the new Mike Tyson (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClsgHxWP56s)<br />(3) In Germany, Danyo Ilunga is a menace (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCVlkHpmEtY)<br /><br />The thing is people have no idea just how against all odds millions of Congolese are making it in business, academia, science, sport… inside Congo and around the world. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02679890703198501517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209670742820403516.post-72881902228452578742012-09-21T05:20:12.058-07:002012-09-21T05:20:12.058-07:00@ Gisa,

The others constitute what any chap around the corner can tell.<br />Oil is here(African Great Lakes region) and in big quantities. And it might be the reason behind all the agitations. When it is about such world strategic resources, we better be prepared. You will never know who is with who. We have seen it in the past where people from the same league(oil corporations) pull the strings from different directions.<br />After only 5 years of serious prospecting, Uganda has raised its proven reserves to 3.5 Billion Barrels. Comparatively, that is the third of Angola's proven reserves. Congo side(North Kivu and Province Oriental), haven't yet been explored.<br /><br />http://www.upi.com/Top_News/Special/2012/09/18/Ugandan-oil-boom-under-way/UPI-43201347966647/?spt=hs&or=tn.<br /><br />Prospection is to start soon in Lake Malawi (Lake Nyasa for Tanzanians);expectations are high as well as tensions.<br />Same in Kenya, where commercial oil quantity have been found. Coincidentally, unprecedented tensions have emerged with eastern coast openly calling for separation. <br />These reserves are seated underground in what is know as the African Rift valley. The wiki map is elaborate:<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Great_Rift_Valley.png<br /><br />Another rather innocent coincidence I have just read about ,is that the owner of this blog is working for a non-profit organization called the "Rift Valley Institute".<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09953833321757981990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209670742820403516.post-57649844851137469612012-09-20T05:45:37.797-07:002012-09-20T05:45:37.797-07:00Here the testimony of crisis group
