U.N. Force to 'Attack Other Armed Groups' in DR Congo
[An Nahar] The United Nations...boodling on the grand scale... on Tuesday announced that its troops will "attack other gangs" in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material... , after helping to defeat the M23 rebel force. There is a "prospect of being able to attack other gangs. Well, that's just what we are going to do," the head of U.N. peacekeeping operations, Herve Ladsous, said in the northeastern city of Goma, capital of strife-torn North Kivu province.
