I was in Kishanga earlier this week when the World Food Program truck was raided of 11 tons of food by young CNDP soldiers who were not integrated into FARDC and other unarmed youth. Then later on the radio they announced it as an FARDC raid. Which according to the facts, is untrue. <br /><br />I realize the importance of keeping the peace within the army by not denouncing the attacks done in FARDC uniform as attacks by ex-CNDP. But, where do you draw the line of media misinformation? Perhaps I am wrong, but it appears to me now that the CNDP use the FARDC uniform to enforce the perception that the Congolese army is synonymous atrocities and incompetance. Of course Bosco is figuring out how to play his cards, so I would be interested to hear what you think. <br /><br />HarperHarperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608896849870046666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209670742820403516.post-68602048404400264742009-11-04T05:51:00.158-08:002009-11-04T05:51:00.158-08:00Sure.

I saw the HRW report also and thought Anneke's work was outstanding as usual. <br /><br />I am involved in the UK Parliamentary group on DRC/Grand Lacs, and wondered if I could contact you directly about some events we have planned for next June. <br /><br />Thanks for the blog,<br /><br />Ben.BenRymerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300215192335711158noreply@blogger.com
