  It became available.

  I disagree with her comments on balkanizing Congo. The Congo was created by Belgium and represents lines drawn on the map in Europe. It does not represent the sovereign self-determination of the peoples in that region.

  There are some ten million Bantu who are identified as “Kongo” by themselves, far more than the population of the country of Congo. Many different ethnic populations, including hundreds of thousands of pygmies, are within the borders of the country of Congo.

  The Katanga independence movement and the earlier Congo Free State genocide don’t seem to figure prominently in Cynthia’s discussion. I think she has been taken in by propaganda from one or more sides in the long running conflicts in the region. Whether those are CIA, French, British, Belgian, Katangan, Congolese, or other interests, I don’t know. But there are a great many sides to the conflict in that part of the world.

  Think about how the FDLR hapenned to be in DR Congo. The french (DST) established them there in order to threat and destablise the neighbouring Rwanda. And now this lady (McKinney) is basing her whole theory on a contreventional french judge, whose by the way many main witnesses had already admitted that they were manipulated by the french secret services. So I think people should look at the whole picture of what is going on there and WHY.

  This is clear that the USA is away of what is happenning in DRC but The USA keeps its blind eye to that for mineral gain. But for Lybia 10 days were more for the USA to respond to that. We all know tha petrol is dear and we need it. Does the USA is pro justice when Obama says : we have to bring justice in every part of the world. The geostrategic of the USA to balkanised Congo is so clear. May GOD punish the USA.
