I have no idea about the root cause of the recent resumption of chaos in the form of war in the DRC, but I believe it has derailed the stability of the SADC region amid the fracas and tug of war in Zimbabwe (both sides wanting more power).
At the end of the day, innocent people are the one feeling the music and this is the problem with African leaders, because they feel nothing for the people when they feel their power is threatened. They will stop at nothing in their quest. I have heard a number of reasons why renegade leader Laurent Nkunda is fighting the government in the DRC. One of them, the Tutsi and Hutu issue, but I know all this boils down to power and the control of vast mineral resources in the central African country.
we need change in Africa, we don't need war upon war and conflict upon conflict. We need leaders who put the interest of people first, for they are where they are because of people. I hope the situation is resolved speedily, for we saw hope in the DRC after the end of the previous war and elections that saw the inuagration of President Joseph Kabila. Like Barack Obama campaign slogan, "Yes we can".
