The narrative that most Africans came from West Africa as opposed to Central Africa should also be addressed.

Winter has started in DR Congo. With increasing cold and rain the sufferings of displaced people will increase only. there is no electricity and less food & no clean water. The situation is catastrophic. Spread the word and speak up. Congolese are dying.

Congolese people need global solidarity today like South African Black's had during the Apartheid period. Fanon put it best in Toward the African Revolution, "the fate of all of us is a stake in the Congo."

Kagame tried that province idea of yours from 1997-2002 but failed miserably & settled for looting Congo's minerals. Did you ever consider consulting with Congolese to see what they say about successfully overcoming the external wars of aggression & plunder by folks like Kagame?

Kagame is crying crocodile tears about so-called Congolese refugees in Rwanda yet he is soliciting the UK for Rwanda to be the repository for that country's unwanted refugees.
#M23
KAGAME prétend qu’il y aurait 70.000 réfugiés CONGOLAIS au Rwanda qui serait selon lui la cause des agressions du CNDP/M23-RDF de 1998 à présent. Rappelons lui qu’en 1959 la RDC reçue +300.000, en 1979 +800.000, en 1994 +3.000.000 réfugiés Rwandais !
De quels réfugiés parle-il ?

Kagame was 33 years old when he attacked Rwanda in 1990. He was 37 years old when he assassinated two African presidents in 1994 that triggered the genocide. He was 39 years old when he invaded Congo in 1996. He was 41 years old when he invaded Congo again in 1998.

It is not a simple clean cut narrative. It really depends on where you are in the country. The bulk of the conflict is occurring in the east of the country bordering Rwanda & Uganda. Both countries have invaded the Congo twice (96 & 98) in wars of aggression and plunder.
