Mr. Musavuli, is any of your work being funded by converted yuan or rubles? Where have you been trained to think like this?

Neither the U.S. or Africom is the problem in the Congo. Unchecked evil is.

People in the Congo villages and refugee camps are begging for protection. I cannot imagine why you would think the savergy against women and children will be stopped without the help of well disciplined and equipped international forces responsible to elected leaders. The Congo has no such forces of its own.

Should the LRA continue to force 7 year olds to eat each other alive? No place on earth is free of human avarice and pathology. I would not want to live in a country without well disciplined police, and military who are responsible to elected leaders.

One thing I do hate is social injustice, and this matter is something the world should know about. I am well equipped to spread the word about such atrocities and bring them to a swift end.

Much as I admire my friend Kambale’s work, I would emphasize oil and cobalt rather than coltan as the resources that make the United States and its military industrial complex so determined to control D.R. Congo by controlling neighboring Uganda and Rwanda. When I try to explain this part of the world so mysterious to most Americans, I say that:

1) U.S. military industries could not continue to manufacture for war without cobalt from the Katanga Copper belt runing through southeastern D.R. Congo into Zambia, and,

2) Africa has surpassed the Middle East as a source of U.S. oil imports, Congo is rich in oil reserves, and it now seems that Congo’s oil reserves may be even richer than those of Nigeria and Angola.

The Chinese contract which seems to have inspired so much of the fighting by imperial proxy armies in Eastern Congo is in Katanga Province, and it’s a contract for cobalt, copper, and probably uranium, though uranium is often a hush hush subject, in a region so torn apart by imperial, geostrategic competition.

Assante Sana JR and Ndugu Musavuli for sharing the message and continuing the struggle to end this atrocity. We have to understand our connection to the Afrika and this article certainly helps. Malcolm once said, you can’t understand what’s going on in Mississippi unless you understand what’s taking place in the Congo.. its the same oppressor and similar results.
It was reported on the network news today where hillary was once again calling sudan a genocide, while nothing was said about the congo.
