Thanks a lot for those references, any cou...@Bruce<br /><br />Thanks a lot for those references, any counter-argument to the global anti-Congo punditry is always the most welcome. But it is just such an indictment on the “single story narratives” society we now live in. Peeling away alternatives, ideas are sought or engineered, ”made paramount and then reinforced” to conveniently explain situations, events or crises. Maybe for sake of simplicity in this information-overloaded society but often for propaganda reasons. So, Herbst & Mills’ conjectures are widely publicised as “sole and irrefutable truth” unlike such so compelling counter-analyses. In fact, it has been the major reason this conflict has taken so too long. Unchallenged, the global anti-Congo punditry concocted “meta-narrative” that many (decision-makers included) in the world could only take for truth. <br /><br />But, once a counter-argument is presented, these lies about Congo always melt away in face of truth. Can we forget the decade-long “rape weapon of war theory” championed by Margot Wallstrom (she gave us the world capital crown) and many acadenics. But it took one courageous scholar Prof. Maria Eriksson Baazcounter’s research based on truth for the charlatans to go quiet forever. Shall I add, Wallstrom resigned her post as UN SRSG just as quietly? <br /><br />It can be despairing to see how today increasingly, the demarcation between scholarship-journalism-activism-propaganda is blurred. But you can always bet on Humanity to triumph against the enemies of freedom and truth, even when loneliness is the fate. The brave Mr Hege comes to mind; they chased him for telling the TRUTH about Kagame!<br /><br />@All<br /><br />Kampala gimmick:14 days! the bastards just gave the M23 terrorist militia some breathing space and Kagame time to regroup.<br />(http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5ib3sX7noNokYX7AsLuGCUh0vl9YQ?docId=CNG.7725b4ad211ce1904ada135ddf5d29ff.241)<br /><br />muanacongo<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02679890703198501517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209670742820403516.post-211460518121048642013-09-05T10:51:33.979-07:002013-09-05T10:51:33.979-07:00I don't think so that Rwanda in the coming yea...I don't think so that Rwanda in the coming years or in the distant future will ever invade Congo.

I've heard this fallacy put forward all my life - by some.<br /><br />Herbst and Mills demonstrate an appalling ignorance of Congolese history in that they seem to ignore that every conflict in Congo from the Katanga secession at independence forward has been instigated by external forces and some aspect of geopolitics. The scholars I read as a student like M. Crawford Young, Thomas Turner, or Rene Lemarchand have never, to my knowledge, endorsed Herbst and Mills.<br /><br />Brucebfhendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08346405979512004758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209670742820403516.post-64000614324345609182013-09-04T02:31:15.010-07:002013-09-04T02:31:15.010-07:00“On the Congolese holocaust and the int’l Congo-pu...<br />“On the Congolese holocaust and the int’l Congo-punditry”<br /><br />I could not resist to recommend to Congo-siasa readers this most eloquent Foreign Policy article by Congolese academic Mvemba Dizolele versus anti-Congo campaigners Jeffrey Herbst and Greg Mills (http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2013/09/03/congo_is_too_big_to_fail). Dizolele is so good as to obtain a retraction from these two well-known Apartheid-supporters, white-supremacists and Kagame apologists in their reply. Now they claim to have never called for balkanisation of Congo but governance/democracy… blah…blah... Go hang! Longonia ndeko Mvemba!<br /><br />I guess Herbst and Mills got demystified by latest street marches by Congolese in Goma or Beni. Now they know that “Weberien theory of the State” is just that, a “theory”. “A nation is made by people who claim it”. They can convince themselves that Congo doesn’t exist, but they can’t deny that Congolese people exist. We are Congolese and Congo lives in us. Congo doesn’t depend on bogus rankings and statistics, malicious academic speculations or media Congo-bashing headlines! Congo depends on Congolese, and the current generation of Congolese is ready to rebuild Congo!<br /><br />But “Dizolele versus Herbst & Mills” elicits a much bigger sinister: the inaptitude of agenda-laden solutions concocted by aliens (int’l pundits and experts) to African/Congolese challenges. These folks have never given us a chance. It is just so dehumanising how they claim to know better what is good for us. Remember how in early 1990s, int’l experts predicted with sophisticated models and statistics that by 2000 the African population would be “halved” by HIV/Aids. But now they claim that it has rather grown exponentially, and birth control is needed in Africa! There is not enough room to talk about the surprising economic emergence of Africa/Congo that is based on “novel models” and not the malevolent ones that the usual experts used to ram down our throats. <br /><br />Now, it is the Kampala presidential ritual again for a nth summit. To all people of good will (Sec. Kerry, Mrs Robinson,amb. Thomas-Greenfield, amb. Feingold), experts’ solutions have failed. Please let’s listen to the people in Goma: an immediate disarmament of M23 terror outfit is the only solution. However that should happen, political solution or military action! A timetable to this end should be demanded of Museveni, Kagame and JK. No more delaying games!<br /><br />PS<br />Congoman and Tresor, bien dit, rien a ajouter!<br /><br />muanacongo<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02679890703198501517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209670742820403516.post-85520350656843336972013-09-04T00:32:43.617-07:002013-09-04T00:32:43.617-07:00Plz stop talking about Rwanda, Kagame, m23, and ot...Plz stop talking about Rwanda, Kagame, m23, and other rwandese, they are just being manipulated by imperialist businesses and gangsters. Shame on them! They should have much more to worry about in their own country, I do not see a real reconciliation between tutsi and hutu in the near future. Tutsi trying to survive at any cost (seeing themselves as a minority, victims and destined to rule that side of great lake) and in the other side their relatives the hutu fighting for their emancipation (considering themselves as citizens of the second class, servants, ...). They will continue to kill each other, and a nth genocide is inevitable.<br /><br />Now congolese people are letting themselves in middle of that historical mess between ethnically related folks tutsi and hutu. Let us make it clear that this is not our business, let them clean their own differences. Le "chef du village Pumbu" must show clear leadership in rebuilding congolese army and other security forces thorough the country. We must stop complaining like babies about Rwanda, Kagame and cie sick sellouts. We should have more important things to worry about in Congo.

Just like his so called elite special forceses where destroyed last week,those few dozen tanks that make up the RDF tribal militia's hardware are also going to be destroyed alongside his remaining M23/RDF terrorists.my brother ,I will advice you and your fellow compatriots to start listening to people like Kayuma Nyamwasa etc if you want a future inside the great lakes region. The Survival of Rwanda is going to depend on its good relationship with the DRC and there no other way around it. It's time for your Country man and woman to start looking for a leader who will repair all the damages and destructions caused by the 2 decades destructive reign of Paul KAGAME and his Junta.a leader who will start real reconciliation in RWANDA ,and who can put an end to the tyrannical apartheid system of the KAGAME junta,repair and improve relationship with the DRC etc,other wise you are doomed. Believe me .when doomsday comes our boarders will be closed .all bloody tyranny ends in a sea of blood unless the tyrant changes his way before doomday comes.knowing Paul KAGAME aka African hitler ,a dictator who has broken the record of psycho-maniac murderers( 6million dead and 10 million displaced ),I don't see any good end for that tyrannical dictatorship.congo manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281097988239620048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209670742820403516.post-381220079152166852013-09-03T06:15:13.265-07:002013-09-03T06:15:13.265-07:00Kizza brown, what is it that Kagame can really do?...Kizza brown, what is it that Kagame can really do? he does not have a strong army, especially now that the Congolese army is organising itself.

But few have noticed the lack of a coherent strategy by Kagame and his int’l backers on this crisis. It seems to me that blinded by “their invincibility myth”, they could only work on one scenario: “innate disorganisation of FARDC and eternal apathy by IC”. They had, when it lasted, tactical battles wins, but not a strategy for peace. Then things started changing. Their unexpected “correction” by FARDC in Mutaho and Kibati has spooked them out of their naivety. Remember how Kaberebe smilingly bet that the FIB was an impossibility, how he joked that FARDC could never kill a rat (well from Mutaho and Kibati, he now knows that they may not kill a rat but they can an entire RDF so called special forces). Remember how Museveni and Kagame “publicly and with irony” called on “fellow Africans” to contribute troops to the FIB, convinced that there would be none. SA,TZ, MLW (many more in the offing) willingly put their hands up. Why are they now vilified by Kagamists? <br /><br />Talking about the impending RDF attack on Goma, I just don’t understand this widespread certainty that Kagame will win against the new decontaminated and determined FARDC backed by TZ and SA MONUSCO! Someone once said that you can start a war at will but you will never know which way “flare away”. I predict that Kagame will make the same suicidal blunder that all megalomaniac tyrants invariably make: crossing the rubicon like Hitler into Poland, IdiAmin into TZ or S Hussain into Koweit. He will assassinate more TZ and SA peacekeepers. Good news is the consequence will be the end of “God of Kigali”. TZ,SA,DRC are proud nations, they will fight to prove that. <br /><br />Also more important is that the context and contingencies of this conflict have changed, are now new and unpredictable. The contiguity of the frontline is such a beautiful dynamic (Goma vs Gisenyi), mutual destruction guaranteed: beautiful! In recent times, Congolese know what HELL feels like, maybe my Rwandan friends shall feel that too!<br /><br />As for Congo, FARDC Col. Hamuli assured that if Rwanda crosses into Congo we will cross into Rwanda. That should not be a slogan. They have to work on that eventuality. I agree with many Kagamists on this forum, that for Kagame this is a “zero-sum game”. He is confused now and will attempt any desperate act. AND THATS HOW ALL RECKLESS TYRANTS END.<br /><br />The question is what are Tutsis people(those in Congo) saying to Kagame cannibalising them for ever in Congo's battlefields?<br /><br />God bless valiant FARDC!<br />God bless valiant MONUSCO!<br /><br /><br />muanacongo<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02679890703198501517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209670742820403516.post-33482680353496091532013-09-02T10:10:49.652-07:002013-09-02T10:10:49.652-07:00@ tresor, i completely agree with you.@ tresor, i completely agree with you.congo manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281097988239620048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209670742820403516.post-6345039067847154852013-09-02T10:04:52.886-07:002013-09-02T10:04:52.886-07:00I meant allies...

This time they will be no such deal.and without those spies and infiltrators the FARDC and allies have the capacity to crash any reinforcement that PAUL KAGAME and His Junta are planning for their M23 terrorists.congo manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281097988239620048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209670742820403516.post-68262104120082909212013-09-02T08:22:03.203-07:002013-09-02T08:22:03.203-07:00rich u couldn't say it any better than this it...rich u couldn't say it any better than this its like u reading kagame's mind. withdrawing from kibati was part of strategy not defeatAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06479993347526103727noreply@blogger.com
