Africa do we really need to see this image of our own people esspecially children going through this form of conditions again and again? Why can't the leaders of these African nations Rwanda and Congo including the rebel leader STOP this now and save the lives of our people.
Congolese soldiers and displaced civilians move into Goma on Wednesday, fleeing advancing rebels. More than 50,000 people are on the road, surely will there be peace in mother Africa? Nkunda has accused the Congolese government of failing to protect the Tutsi tribe from Rwandan Hutu militia in Congo. Can he surely tell us that whatever he is doing now is protecting any body if this is the image we can see of women, children and men suffering.
By the way this is not a convention but thousands of displaced Congolese on Tuesday lining the road near the Kibati camp north of Goma, Congo. This is the image the leaders want to see as they are not part of this group of people.
These so called good guys are in Congo but what is their role in all this, can they really tell us wheter they are protecting any body or they are just joy riding around Congo and only protecting themselves.
