Murder, mayhem and the UN in the Congo, it goes back almost two
decades and is probably one of the least understood conflicts in the world,
so lets start with the two major players in the conflict, Uganda and
Rwanda.
Rwanda has a president named Paul Kagame who twenty years ago
was the head of the Ugandan CIA under President Musuveni and Rwanda
and Uganda remain pretty much joined at the hip.
Both Musuveni and Kagame are dependent on the hundred$ of
million$ of under the table royaltie$ they are making off the illegal mining
they “protect” in north and eastern Congo and both countries have
“peacekeepers” funded by the UN in Somalia.
So the UN is giving both countries lots of weapons and cash and then
doesn’t like it when such ends up supporting local warlords on behalf of
the Musuveni/Kagame mafia?
And in the mean time millions of Congolese die, millions more live
in desperate conditions fleeing the fighting and millions more dollars each
day are looted from the Congo, a country that meets the definition of a
failed state if there is one.
Think about it, what is the UN going to do when it depends on
Rwanda and Uganda to enforce its diktats in Dafur and Somalia when
Rwanda and Uganda openly defy all UN proclamations when it comes to
the Congo?
One can see just who is really behind the scenes when both the
“President” of the Congo, Joseph Kabila (jr) and his sworn enemy Paul
Kagame of Rwanda sit down together in…Kampala, the capital of
Uganda, under the watchful eye of the USA’s second string Godfather in
east Africa, Pres. Musuveni.
Deals have to be made, business is business, divide up the loot and
lets get back to making money is the story of the day, only Kabila is not to
thrilled with the short end of the deal. But then M23 might just decide to
march on Kinshasa, capital of the Congo, kick Kabila out and install their
own man of the hour, sort of like Musuveni did when he sent the Rwandan
rebel army he funded and armed and headed by his CIA director Kagame
into Rwanda in 1994.
