A NEW GENERATION OF AFRICAN THIEVES


As long as there is an international market for stolen goods from the Congo, the Rwandan, Ugandan, and Congolese thieves will not stop plundering the riches of the Congo. What do they get in exchange? Peanuts, because the benefits mostly go to the middlemen, a truth farmers have learned for centuries. Also as long as there are (1) motivated offenders in the region, mostly the dictators of Rwanda, Uganda, and the Congo and (2) ineffective guardianship of Congo's riches (weak security forces, weak justice system, poor institutional capacity in the Congo,  poor justice system and weak institutional capacity in Rwanda and Uganda to prosecute dictators Kagame and Museveni and their friends), then Congo will remain an attractive target for those dictators and thieves whom I've coined "little devils in human shape". Let's put it straight: are we encouraging the Chinese to send troops into the Congo? Are we encouraging the Chinese to engrave a new script into Congolese mind that the West does not care about the Congo? Dictators, no matter the color of their skin, are a threat to world security. Their atrocities are reported live on the Internet, cable TV, and all types of communication tools readily available in this Digital Age. It is time for the international community to expel Rwanda and Uganda from all international organizations. Let them withdraw their troops from Somalia and Darfur; the world will always find good soldiers to fight extremists. let's put an end to Rwanda and Uganda blackmailing the international community. Let's build a Dictatorship Free Zone (DFZ) to replace the current dictators of Rwanda, Uganda, and the Congo. The time is now because the world is watching more than ever!
