NEW CONGO DEFENSE ARCHITECTURE: ELECTRIC D FENCE + UN COMBAT FORCE + FOL BASES + DRONES

I’ve repeated it several times: to end those stupid wars in eastern Congo, the supply chain for bloody minerals from the Congo (coltan, diamonds, gold, tin, etc.) and other goods (coffee, tea, timber, etc.) must be disrupted at all cost. Once full disruption is achieved, it will preserve the lives of millions of Congolese, who have suffered at the hands of the armies of Rwanda and Uganda and the rebels these two countries have sponsored for two decades in eastern Congo. I understand much will come out from The Hague when Bosco Ntaganda finally decides to sing…

I congratulate the governments of Tanzania and Mozambique for joining the combat brigade to put a closure to the suffering in eastern Congo. I urge the South African government to learn from its mistakes in Bangui and to carry out its military intervention in eastern DRC with no strings attached, I mean with no economic gain in mind to fund the ANC and its caciques.

As the UN combat force disarms and destroys rebel groups in the DRC, the construction of the Electric D-Fence must proceed until the Congo borders with Rwanda and Uganda are completely sealed off. On the other hand, the military bases at Kamina and Kisangani shall be used for drone reconnaissance flights and for UN military planes and helicopters to engage those criminals in uniform also known as rebels. They will also serve as forward-location bases (FOL) to track, ground, or gun down any plane illegally landing or taking off from eastern DRC.

Any decent human being will agree with me that the choir at the United Nations International Criminal Court will not be complete until all those M-23 leaders and their Rwanda-and-Uganda backers are arrested and brought to justice. The UN combat force shall also be tasked with searching and arresting those criminals. It is a shared understanding among decent human beings worldwide that African “Hitlers”, also known as African dictators and tyrants, are a threat to world peace and security. Therefore, it is a moral obligation of the civilized world to eradicate tyranny from East Africa and Central Africa to preserve the human species that still dwell in that part of the world.

SMART BORDERS FOR EASTERN CONGO: WHY CONGO NEEDS AN ELECTRIC D-FENCE

Some would roll their eyes because they care more about the last mountain gorillas in eastern Congo and less about the millions of human beings who daily see hordes of criminals in uniform cross the border from Rwanda and Uganda to rape and kill Congolese and loot Congo’s natural resources. Now, I must put it straightforward: Congo needs an electric D-fence on the east for homeland security purposes as long as those who sponsor atrocities in eastern Congo remain on power in Rwanda and Uganda.

This is no rocket science here. Many developed countries still use them nowadays to protect their lands against the invasion of illegal workers and terrorists. So, doesn’t it make more sense for the Congo to have such a deterrent tool to protect its civilian population against atrocities committed by the Rwandan and Ugandan armies and their sponsored rebel groups inside the Congo?

What are other advantages of a Congo D-Fence? (1) It will cut the supply of troops, weapons, and ammunition from Rwanda and Uganda; (2) It will cripple the economies of Rwanda and Uganda, which are based, to some extent, on the looting of Congo’s natural resources via those childish and stupid wars; (3) It will force the international community to be proactively engaged in protecting the lives of millions of human lives in eastern Congo and punish those responsible of atrocities against human dignity.

As I stated earlier, this is a temporary fix to the problem in eastern Congo until the exogenous root cause of violence in eastern Congo has been removed. In the meantime, any trade with Rwanda and Uganda would be through lakes. Again, for those who still don’t get it: Congo does not exist to bail out the economies of Rwanda and Uganda, PERIOD.

Congo’s D-Fence shall be modeled after the border security fence along the Israel-Egypt border (see below). There will be only three differences:  (1) a double fence; (2) besides barbed wire, surveillance cameras, and radar, sound devices will be used to ward off animals such as those mountain gorillas and other species the rest of the world seems to care much more about than about human lives; (3) instead of bare soil (below), we've got abundant vegetation in eastern Congo.
