The song Kabilists are singing today will end shortly. What if Kisangani falls next week? Will this be M23? Gbadolite and Mbandaka are also buoying as per the information I am getting from there. Have you heard General Munene's interview with RFI? The crisis is not a military one; there is a serious political crisis going on; and legitimacy of the current regime is the one disputed by almost all influential political leaders and the majority of Congolese. Otherwise how can you you explain that in a city of 8 milions(Kinshasa), only 100,000(accepting the exaggerated number from government sources)responded to the call to march against the war in Eastern part? Kabila regime is going to fall with or without the support of international community. This is the will of Congolese people.

We have also to make sure that our best element...3. We have also to make sure that our best elements in the nation are promoted to posts of responsibility in order to make sure that good decisions are taken for the country and its citizens. We must take care of people serving, defending our country. It is abnormal to sacrifice them without compensation. They must know that there is benefit siding with the Republic, fighting against our enemies and defeating them. How much money and riches have been stolen from Congo? How much is needed to equip and take care of our defense and security people? Who are those people amongst our leaders who think and act as their fate is more important than that of the whole nation? We must stop also recruiting incompetents in our armed and security forces and punish severely those who weaken us in every way. We have to stand and fight for our country, nation and future. This is our country and it is the only one we have and we must show that we deserve it. We have also the responsibility of protecting and promoting the prosperity of our countryside countrymen. It is our responsibility, our duty. We are equipped to succeed in this world and we have already lost many countrymen because of the unconsciousness of some of our countrymen ready to betray the nation as a whole. I am very convinced that only military might and it must be Congolese, will end the problems we face in the east. Whatever we can do must be done in reinforcing our military might. Rwanda is not the only security threat, challenge we will have to face in our triumphant march forward and after defeating Rwanda (what I deeply believe we can because in our current state we have not been defeated by Rwanda) we will still have other security challenges, threats as that is nature. <br />4. I have got other final questions: why have we sacrificed more than 6 million countrymen? Was not our responsibility to stand for them? Had we fought, could have we lost so many persons? We must fight for our freedom, our future, and our prosperity in order to deserve and cherish them.<br />I have said all this knowing that there are still unresolved questions/problems in our midst but the priority is to stop and defeat Rwanda. As long as Kagame will be in Rwanda, we will not have peace in DRC. Beside the IC genocide’s guilt, the other things which allow Rwanda to bother Congo are its diplomacy and military might. We have seen that the first can be defeated or forced to retreat so the only argument which guarantees Rwanda’s power of nuisance is the military might and we, as a nation, have to respond to it victoriously. Anyhow, we do not have any other choice. Trying to resolve those problems in Congo is a mistake because it is our people who are dying, our resources who are looted, our women and girls who are raped and our environment which is destroyed and our development stopped, disrupted. We have to focus on Rwanda, study our enemy, understand his mindset, force him to change his bad behavior. We have to move ahead of the events and prepare the future. We have also to read a lot because in books we have answers to many of our questions. Do not limit ourselves in commenting news but we have to change them and the way they are narrated. We all know the future we want, we are promised based on our possibilities and we have to move forward in fulfilling it. We have to act and translate into actions, realities our deep beliefs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209670742820403516.post-71213655210770383302012-08-03T05:16:52.887-07:002012-08-03T05:16:52.887-07:00Here I come, my fellow citizens. I have been follo...Here I come, my fellow citizens. I have been following your debating here for a long time and I think it is my duty to bring my contributions too in order to make possible a better and prosperous, stronger/strongest Congo. We have got problems in our country and the most dangerous is coming from Rwanda and all of us know that. How to deal with that problem? How can we defeat Rwanda? Who is/are responsible of the current situation? They are interesting questions but I would like to invite you to think seriously about these considerations:<br />1. The objective of the DRC is not only to defeat Rwanda but what are we going to do next? Are we going to go back to business as usual? Is that what is going to make DR Congo stronger, more prosperous and able to deliver to its citizens?<br />Of course Rwanda must be and will be defeated (when I say Rwanda, I am focusing on Kagame and its followers in Rwanda and in Congo). Till here Congo has been saved because of its geography and the diversity of its populations but I would like it to become stronger by what we Congolese we do. Since our founders (this goes back to Leopold II), our objective as a nation is to transform the potentialities of this land to benefit peoples. The difference has always been the content of the “peoples”. For us, the peoples are Congolese peoples who must be the first beneficiaries of these riches. So what are we doing to ensure that? As you see, it requires determination, guts and dedication and we, as a nation, we have all the capacity to reach those goals and that leads us to the following.<br />2. We, as a nation, are masters of our destiny. We have to count first on ourselves, on what we can and have to do. We have to make sure that our elected leaders understand and do their best to fulfill our ambitions as a nation and we have the capacity of requiring them to be responsible and accountable. The question now is not who is in power but what is he doing with that power and we have to make sure that he understand the responsibility coming from being elected and representing a whole nation, ours. It is for the first time that we have had Rwanda in such a difficult situation and it means that people in our Government are working and moving in the right direction. But, we all know that this is not enough because Rwanda has not yet been defeated and Congolese people are still dying, displaced and punished for being Congolese and that regardless of the tongue they speak. In Rutshuru, for instance, people feel more secure with the FARDC because they understand that those fighting the latter do not represent the interest of Congo, their interest and that is why they are fleeing away from them, even if they can speak the same tongue. As a nation, we must learn how to punish those betraying the nation, betraying us and that regardless of their origins. There are people in Congo who think that their personal/individual interests, ambitions, successes are more important than those of the whole nation, of our country and those people are unpunished and that is our great weakness, mistake. If a Congolese Tutsi loves this country and understand that his interests are well protected with the DRC and not with Rwanda, that is a good thing and they must not be rejected. If a Congolese Teke thinks that he is well off even if Congo is sacrificed through the process, he must not walk away unpunished. We have the duty, responsibility of protecting ourselves. We can stand as a people and foster our goals and it is not a single individual, be them Kabila or Kagame, who will stop us from moving forward. I know that elected representatives have the obligation of doing their best to do their part of the job because they have been elected for that end. Of course, we have to appreciate and thank all people and countries of good will helping us and their input is necessary but we must not be dependent on that in order to survive as a country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209670742820403516.post-24847662006144303892012-08-03T05:14:16.893-07:002012-08-03T05:14:16.893-07:00I don't think that the M23 is the best militar...I don't think that the M23 is the best military for Congo because they will defend us against whom. Themselves? Rwanda? They cannot even move from Masisi or Rutshuru near the border of Rwanda. We all know that Rwanda is the serious security challenge of Congo and if M23 cannot be able to participate in resolving it I do not see for what they will be useful to Congo. They defend courageously Rwanda's interests, fight Rwanda's ennemies in Congo even against Congo's interests that they are the best soldiers of Rwanda in DRC.<br />What we need in Congo is a non ethnical army, dedicated to defend Congo's interests. M23 cannot answer those criteria and they have been labelled by the CIRGL as negative forces like the FDLR.
