Highlighted Comments

Don't trust Qatar as far as I can throw them. But would like peace and dignity for Congolese.

After more than 30 years of tears and chaos, it seems like atrocities don't have any negative impact on this so-called M23.

This agreement is nothing and is just a show. Both parties are buying time for now & wish to appear reasonable to the world.

Crazy how the international community lets Paul Kagame (Rwanda) get away with whatever he wants because he gives them other countries' natural resources.
