What bothers me, is that this issue is treated in isolation from the theft of the Congolese people's resources.

The problem is that for instance coltan, which belongs to the Congolese people, is being stolen by western corporations. To do that, they employ the local military, which uses the terror tactics that got you involved in this issue, to clear out locals and create a zone of control.

The true solution (the only one with lasting effect) is to demand that the resources of the people of the DRC are only sold through the government of the DRC.

We need a continent (world-) wide protocol, that ensures that all natural resources are only sold through national governments.

The people of the DRC can control their government, they cannot control a foreign controlled government that is only a disposable placeholder, there to facilitate the theft of their resources.
