Nkunda’s At It Again
It’s 10 days or so since I left Goma and I see that it remains business as usual. A bunch of thugs are still trying to hold an equally thuggish government to ransom and the media continues to give General Laurent Nkunda far more credit than he’s due…
General Nkunda and UN special envoy, Olusegun Obasanjo
Rebel leader General Laurent Nkunda has threatened war unless the government of DR Congo holds a new round of talks.
He was speaking after a meeting with UN envoy Olusegun Obasanjo in the rebel-held eastern town of Jomba.
The 250,000 people forced out of their homes by clashes over the past months, and the scores of women raped, are nothing more than pawns in Nkunda’s game. They are being used as negotiating chips and news reports like this only encourage him.
