They keep accusing Rwanda a tiny nation that DR Congo far more out weights in size of assisting the Rebels ....is it a crime for DR Congo to get other nations too in assisting them in chasing out these so called unknown gun men vis a vis.... Nigeria
Well, the government has had its backers too. Back in the 90's, US Secretary of State Madeline Albright called Congo "Africa's First World War" because of the sheer number of countries involved in the conflict on government and rebel sides.

Paul Kagame is just a shithead, allowing himself to be used by the west to disrupt Congo. They destabilise Congo so that they can keep stealing their resources during the chaos but they can't do directly as that will be obvious. So they have been using Kagame of Rwanda to destabilise Congo.

Anyone wonders why Kagame is almost like a life president in Rwanda?

Until Africa gets true, bold and righteous leaders, it will not develop....

It's time for the reawakening of Africa. In my opinion, we need good governance and also, break the boundaries given to us by our European colonial masters.

It is not about breaking boundaries given by colonial masters it is about people voting bad leaders knowingly because of greed, tribalism and wickedness. Even if you break the boundaries with these wicked leaders nothing will change. South Sudan is a typical example that the issue is not about breaking but get the right leaders in place.

You dey mind those buffoons that don't know the implications of full blown war

If you have bad leaders and you guys vote based on wickedness, hunger and tribalism, you will see more agitation. If you are fair to the igbos there will be nothing like agitation.
But everytime we keep pretending that the igbos are playing victim when they are truly not. Even Clarke said it and acknowledged it. So let us for once speak the truth and stop playing eye service and Ostrich games. If you treat people with equity and give them a belonging in the country, if any psycho says Biafra nobody will answer him, but because these guys are disillusioned with the country, the Biafra thing becomes interesting to the ear.

I pity you. The unity of Nigeria can only be sacrosanct if we elect leaders that have the love of Nigeria irrespective of tribal affiliation. So far we use tribalism and malign a tribe from exercising their rights anywhere they are, this agitation will be attractive to their ears, and so far people like you are not willing to work, but hate on a tribe and desire to burn their properties and intimidate them in elections, these agitations will be attractive to the ears.

Congo’s wars will continue due to the country’s massive reserves of rare earth minerals. The white man is behind every instability in the African continent. We’re nothing but slaves to them who should either be put into production for their kind or face death. The fact we breed like rats means a steady labour force for their unending greed. If our resources dry up, they’ll leave immediately and watch us tear each other apart.

What revolution?!!

This is GREED and hunger for power!

How many African nations who saw overthrow of governments went on to achieve excellence or real progress?!!

When you hear agitation or revolution in African nations, best believe that another set of corrupt criminals want their share of the national resources.

True nationalism and patriotism are alien to an average Negro!

Until Africa starts producing leaders who put their people first, no progress will ever happen. If you like pray for 1,000 years. No progress will happen.

Africans do not produce leaders. They are given their leaders and as long as such leaders follow the script of their masters, they can perpetuate themselves in power.

M23 rebel is funded by Rwanda, Paul kagame should stop destabilizing DR Congo

Congo is a country rich in natural resources, but the people are very poor, the country is plagued by armed conflicts funded by foreign powers for their selfish interest, It boasts vast deposits of industrial diamonds, cobalt and copper, Most of the raw mineral deposits remain untapped and are worth an estimated $24 trillion

Congo is by far the richest country in Africa in terms of natural resources, unfortunately it remains underdeveloped

If DR Congo is rich in minerals, why can't they fund an army that can defend their people?DR Congo is just another fake African country that is corrupt and useless. Like Nigeria, a government that cannot protect its people cannot develop its people, let the strongest take the country.

The same greed that cost them untold number of their people who were ferreted across the Atlantic for close to 400 years.. and also across the Sahara Desert for untold number of years, even before the coming of the Portuguese to the Atlantic..
The same greed that's still keeping them in perpetual slavery till tomorrow.

Only a morón will think Nigeria will remain with this structure in a Multipolar World.

Nigeria can't be for the Eastern or Western powers, Nigeria can't even be neutral because Buhahi have polarised it. Nigeria must be restructured to true federalism or get destroyed.


Restructuring going on in the world can't be completed without it happening Nigeria, Nigeria-Africa is the future of the world. The Indigenous people who seek freedom must be freed.

Fellow Africans are the problem not just the so-called White(RGB?)

Power is about to change hand in the world. Our enemies aren't all Cucasians because they are not the one shooting IPOB, Caucasian aren't the ones hailing the killing of IPOB.

Caucasian aren't the one behind the Islamic jànjaweed from the Sahel called herdsmen.

Do you know that some communities in Zamfara, Katsina, Niger, Borno, Yobe etc are under the occupation of Islamic jihadist from the Sahel, Nigerian soldiers know it and don't go there?

Why is Nigeria the country with most extreme poor in the world?

Those towns are where you will find ethnic group like Tutsi, you know Tutsi is one of the ethnic groups in Rwanda and Paul Kagame is a Tutsi.
Those groups from DRC that share more in common with Rwanda and see them as brothers will place their allegiance to Rwanda more than their fellow countrymen West of DRC.

That's one of the reason Nigeria will find it difficult in defeating Niger Republic in a war. ie because the Hausa and Kanuri of Nigeria will see it as war against themselves, they will sabotage and fight against other soldiers from Southern Nigeria. They love their brothers from other Sahelian countries than their fellow countrymen down South.

Na mumu dey do One Nigeria in a fvcking unitary system like this.

As long as that fool called Tshisekedi will continue listening to France and the European Union, his country will continue being destroyed to the ground. The rest of us have been warning him to stay clear from Macron and get some military help from Russia, the DPRK and any other country that agrees to flush the rebels out of the DRC for good, but the retarded is not listening. He is sitting down out there in Kinshasa thinking that having appointed a woman prime minister is what the Congolese are waiting for.
