True, but they call that "limited observation." We need a full U.N. intervention like they do for 3rd world countries taken over by dictators.

Dean's comments are 100% correct.

When reporters interview people regarding things like this, they need to push back on those who aren't aware of the context of the mandate differences between MONUC, MONUSCO initially, MONUSCO FIB, and now SAMIDRC.

You claim to work for a NGO but are clearly ignorant of the scale of UN deployment in Kinshasa's Congo.

Peaked at 20 000 peacekeepers but still significsnt:

EFTA01187552 | EFTA01187560 In May 1960, a growing nationalist movement, the Movement National Congolais or MNC Party, led by Patrice Lumumba, won the parliamentary elections. On 17 January 1961, local African forces and Belgian paratroops — supported by the United States and Belgium — kidnapped and executed Patrice Lumumba. Amidst widespread confusion and chaos, a temporary government was led by technicians (College des Commissaires) with Evariste Kimba. The Katanga secession was ended in January 1963 with the assistance of UN forces. Several short-lived governments, of Joseph Ileo, Cyrille Adoula, and Moise Tshombe, took over in quick succession. In 1965 Joseph Mobutu, who was the chief of staff on the new Congo army mounted a coup and changing the country's name to the "Democratic Republic of the Congo." In 1971it was changed again to "Republic of Zaire." In May 1997, Mobutu fled the country and longtime opposition figures, led by Laurent-Desire Kabila marched into Kinshasa, naming himself president and reverting the name of the country to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Almost immediately, President Laurent-Desire Kabila asked foreign military forces to return back to their countries because he was concerned that the Rwandan military officers who were running his army were plotting a coup d'etat against him in order to give the presidency to a Tutsi who would report directly to the President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame. Consequently, Rwandan troops in DRC retreated to Goma and launched a new Tutsi led rebel military movement called the Rasse,b;e,emt Congolais pour la Democratie (RCD) to fight against their former ally, President Kabila, while Uganda instigated the creation of another rebel movement called the Movement for the Liberation of Congo (MLC), led by the Congolese warlord Jean-Pierre Bemba. The two rebel movements, along with Rwandan and Ugandan troops, started the Second Congo War by attacking the DRC army in 1998. Angola, Zimbabwe and Namibia became involved militarily on the side of the government to defend a fellow SADC member. Kabila was assassinated in 2001 and was succeeded by his son Joseph Kabila, who upon taking office called for multilateral peace talks to end the war. UN peacekeepers, MONUC, now known as MONUSCO, arrived in April 2001. Talks between Kabila and the rebel leaders led to the signing of a peace accord in which Kabila would share power with former rebels. By June 2003 all foreign armies except those of Rwanda had pulled out of Congo. DR Congo had a transitional government until the election was over. A constitution was approved by voters, and on 30 July 2006 DRC held its first multi-party elections. Joseph Kabila took 45% of the votes and his opponent, Jean-Pierre Bemba took 20%. The disputed results of this election turned into an all-out battle between the supporters of the two parties in the streets of the capital, Kinshasa. MONUC took control of the city. A new election was held on 29 October 2006, which Kabila won with 70% of the vote and on 6 December 2006 the transitional government came to an end as Joseph Kabila was sworn in as President. What's needed, first, is comprehensive demilitarization, with the government and its neighbors ceasing relations with the militias that prey upon the population and compete for influence and control of resources throughout the east. Second, make vast, overdue investment in infrastructure, particularly roads, the dismal lack of which incubates disorder. Third, transform the exploitation of the Congo's vast mineral, agricultural and human resources into something more businesslike: regulated, transparent, equitably taxed. Neighbors like Rwanda and Uganda -- natural trading partners -- must be a part of this. Fourth, reform, train, pay well enough -- and actually pay! -- military, police and civil service, so that their livelihoods don't depend on embezzlement and extortion. Finally, Congo's communities must be involved in a rethink of governance, so that a weak and capricious state meddles, manipulates and muscles less and governs more. In such a huge country, there must be space and support for communities to sort out local affairs, instead of alternating between being left to rot and getting EFTA01187560 Epstein Web iOS app on the App Store.

Does anyone else from the MONUC mission in the DR Congo remember those toasted bread-and-cheese sandwiches at the MONUC airport café in Goma? Such a simple thing, but the Goma cheese was unbelievable. I still remember it like it was yesterday—even though it was 25 years ago.

They gave their blessing to the plan, and Henriette then had Lisa start work on putting it into practice. She meanwhile arranged to meet with an old friend whom she knew from when she had been a Human Resources Manager in MONUC, the United Nations Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
