NAMIBIA has not completely ruled out the possibility of sending troops to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

This is a good time to come together, Africa, and solve once for all this lasting crisis in Eastern Congo. A strong military force is needed now more than ever to disarm all the militias(FDLR,CNDP,...) with no exception in Eastern Congo and establish peace. There won't be any lasting peace if any excuse is good to purchase weapons and create rebellion to overthrow the legal government. Enough is enough.
Yes my fellow African, it is a good time to come together.Don't you believe please, that Rwanda's auhority should create some space for reconciliation in their country! As long as Kagame and the Rwandans do not do that, I suspect that history will repeat itself.Arrogance has never been a good thing. The world is tired of the games being played by the actual governments.No one is buying the victim's game anymore.Reconciliation is needed in Rwanda.All Rwandans are the same.We Africans do not love each other, we keep on avoiding the truth, even at a national level people do that unfortunately. SO SAD
Agree with your point,brother. But until current Rwanda government and the International Community understand that Rwanda belongs to all the rwandese people,we must move forward in Congo. Disarm all the rebels(FDLR, CNDP,...) as they 're doing more harm to Congo than to their fellow rwandese. After they are all disarmed and the foreign rebels moved far from the borders, then we can talk about whatever issues the congolese rebels if any have to discuss.
If African associations are to be taken seriously, then the SADC must do every best they can to protect and support the elected governement of the DRC. When one member state is attacked all members are attacked.
This will greatly discourage dishonest wars such as this one.
The rebels in Congo do not seem interested in peace negotiations. They will do so now to calm the storm down and resume later because they realise many people see no justification for this war. I also suspect taht they want to talk now to allow them to stay rather being ousted by SADC forces etc.
