Another war caused by the America and the west. Congo is full of resources, it would be a unaceptable to the west if the resources was used to lift the people out of poverty and not go mostly in the pockets of rich white men.

police the UN should do it to ensure truthfulness. hopefully the UN can be trusted.also adverise the cause of the war so consumers make the connection between what they buy and where it comes from.

then the mining companies are going to do whatever they can to grab that land, aided and abetted by their governments.the resources are also essential for the US

although its good to give its better not to cause the war int he first place as its a war for resources. if western consumers buy the goods that contain the resources of the congo .

Finally, a real crisis that we can try to fix.DRC has been in chaos for decades, and no one speaks of it.Why do we hear so much about Darfur? Because Darfur is filled with oil.Major world powers exploit atrocities for their own political and economic gain.We cared so much about the Iraqi people and the atrocities of Saddam right before the Iraq war, but now we are denied the truth about the 100,000+ civilians murdered by US cluster bombs.DEC, you have my support.
