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.
