Thousands flee DRC fighting - 29 Oct 08

[MPArmstrong84]

This war is about nothing more than developed countries robbing DRC for their natural recources!! America being the number one culprit! What a coincidence that you never, ever, EVER hear this fact in official news report!!!

[Popsicle22754]

The UN is one of the biggest waists of money in this world.

[dawnninjawolf]

What is the main cause of the fighting, power struggle?

[NotreCongo]

Sales tutsis!

[muyumba1]

why is that our leaders they are scared to break off from these chuckles that has been holding us down. I smell tuna

[nospeakingenglish]

just like SREBRENICA IN 1995 the UN stand by and wait, genocide is alive and well

[jankren]

Africa has always been behind the rest of the world since the beginning of time. I dont see it end anytime soon.

[mldjamba]

if u have nothing smart to say, just shut up. cause i know u don't know one thing about AFRICA

[mldjamba]

and my last comment was for any idiot like jankren

[jankren]

My comment is very smart. If you feel smarter prove me wrong. Every other people has had their fair share of civilization in history but Africans always became the slaves in each of those civilizations.

[mldjamba]

Africa never had a "fair share", that's what you need to know first of all. WE were never given that chance because everyone wanted a piece of Africa. Did they not teach you in school about WWI and WWII. I hope you know that these wars started because those who thought they had "power" wanted to divide Africa among themselves. So you tell me how was that giving US a chance? And WE were slaves because of our skin. Because some where in someone "Bible" it said that "being Black is a sin".

[sn00piedog]

Being black is not a sin dood bible does not say that, and blacks were not the only slaves, Asians were slaved in canada to build ralroads , Jews were slaved in egypt , east indians were slaved in south africa by whites.

[CULAVE]

Its high time the worlds deadliest conflict was reported.

[jonnymvura]

nkunda and rwanda will bring peace. like they did in rwanda

[cutegual]

UN are nothing but collected stupid ppl and morons. UN has done nothing in the World but manipulating agendas and terrorizing villages for USA interest.

May God Destroy the puppet UN=USA

[Chubachus]

oh yeah, thats why the un helped in iraq...

[jabzulani]

YES!!!!

[Agric0la]

Neglect all the AID it gives? Surely you'd want to keep that part up.

[DarthComrade]

These people can barely afford food, how can they possibly afford to buy such weapons to kill each other?

Arms dealing is the real source of the problem in Africa.

[BasilC1983]

DRC needs Islamic rule NOW

[mieroth]

ROFL. Man, you islamists crack me up. Yeah, the creation of an Islamic state seems to have worked fantastically for Darfur. No... wait. Except that it's currently home to an enormous genocide - the Darfur Crisis. Genocides arise from ethnic tensions. Religion is often irrelevant. Although, creating religious laws for people who don't follow that religion is bound to piss them off. Which leads to more unrest. So your solution = fail. Have fun with your sharia in Iran. :)

[wabdinur]

But they're not Muslims.

[mieroth]

I never said they were muslims. o.0 Do you think putting the Congo under Islamic rule, as Basil suggested, will help? And in Sudan both sides are muslims. It's at the end of the day an ethnic conflict and not a religious one.

[wabdinur]

Sorry, my message was directed at BasilC1983 and what you said about Sudan is correct.

[mieroth]

Ah, ok. Then I see what you mean. :)

[mieroth]

WTF? The UN gets no support from the USA. One reason why it is in fact such a weak organisation. The US government couldn't care less about the UN and instead feels as if it's up to them to act as the world police. -.-

[wabdinur]

Maybe we should not have high expectations from the Americans. In fact, I don't think that they can stomach another war, especially one in the heart of Africa where there are no scape routes. (In case another "black hawk down" incident occurs)Budget wise, I agree but even when America pays "less", it pays the most out of all the UN countries. (ratio wise, if you divide the country's contribution to the UN by it's population size, that generosity level might be different)

[Agric0la]

You're proof that the internet has only ushered in the Age of Disinformation. "gets no"? Would it kill you to google some numbers first?

[levnerbrown]

the tusi are majority muslims that is why they do all this killings

[colbertLOTR91]

then why did thousands of tutsis in Rwanda get massacred by the Hutu?

[ab435]

get your story together.the tutsi r nt the majority they r the manority with the brains in the country

[tina45555]

could you tell me why you say tutsi are majolity muslims? i thought they were minority

[mieroth]

How is everyone ignoring it? I believe they just said this area is part of the largest UN project... and there isn't actually a genocide yet but they fear there will be one. o.0

[mieroth]

WTF? Under the sun is a Hollywood film! Do NOT take that as a good ground for fact since it has very little to do with reality. o.0

[tubingit123]

what are the rebels rebelling against since they are called rebels

[mieroth]

I'm going to assume it's the government... as it nearly always is. ;)

[deluxchixbone]

If you want to fix the problem with all, get rid of the UN

[JCMac777]

Oh yeah always blame the UN. I'm sure I've heard of that before. Even though the UN is the only one doing something about this. Where's our all-powerful American military bringing the virtues of peace and democracy to the world? Oh I guess the Congolese can just fend for themselves. They don't have any oil, why should anyone give a shit? Same thing with Rwandan genocide more than a decade ago.

[mieroth]

How the hell is this the UN's fault? The congolese + refugees would be a lot worse off if the UN were not there. -.-

[hayman4548213]

Wow every one cry's genocide and action in Sudan but when it comes to Congo every ignores it. Why is there such a double standard.

[mieroth]

How is everyone ignoring it? I believe they just said this area is part of the largest UN project... and there isn't actually a genocide yet but they fear there will be one. o.0
