In
The 1960s some corporate media hostile to Congo's independence would
write that Congo is ungoverable -- and that was the rationale used to
justify Belgian and CIA intervention and murder of Patrice Lumumba.
Today in 2012, NY Times's Jeff Gettleman writes:
"The most realistic solution, said another Congo analyst, is not a
formal peace process driven by diplomats but 'a peace among all the
dons, like Don Corleone imposed in New York.'"
(My notes: As we all
know, writers can find an "analyst" to say exactly what they want to
hear. I wonder what millions of Congolese, victims of yet another war of
aggression from Rwanda and Uganda feel about this quote. Gen. Kagame
and Gen. Museveni must be salivating since they are the "Dons" in that
region)
And the Times' "reporter" who somehow forgot to mention
the damning UN report released last week saying that the M23 terrorists
are commanded by Rwanda's minister of defense, Gen. James Kabarebe,
today adds:
"The rebels, called the M23, are a heavily armed
paradox. On one hand, they are ruthless. Human rights groups have
documented how they have slaughtered civilians, pulling confused
villagers out of their huts in the middle of the night and shooting them
in the head. On the other hand, the M23 are able administrators —
seemingly far better than the Congolese government, evidenced by a visit
in recent days to their stronghold, Rutshuru, a small town about 45
miles from Goma.
In Rutshuru, there are none of those ubiquitous
plastic bags twisted in the trees, like in so many other parts of Congo.
The gravel roads have been swept clean and the government offices are
spotless. Hand-painted signs read: 'M23 Stop Corruption.' The rebels
even have green thumbs, planting thousands of trees in recent months to
fight soil erosion."
(My notes: In other words forget the mass rapes and executions documented by Human Rights Watch.

M23 will make sure all Congolese get to eat organic vegetables....The
coverage reminds of when in April 1994 Time magazine wrote that the
Rwanda massacres were being fueled by "tribal blood lust" and outside
intervention could not help)
BEWARE CONGO. The gold rush is on. ENDORSED by the "paper of record."
M23 may not even need to fire a single shot with this kind of pen-power.....
