Upon reading the many comments appended to your posting, I hereby humbly would love to share with you what my convictions are on the conflict is all about in the Great Lakes region of Africa and more so the DR Congo. In my treatise titled "A People Trapped in Narratives and Memories: Facing Pacification in the Great Lakes Region of Africa- A focus on Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo" I attempted to dig deeper the headlines and what is platitudinously understood as issues at hand. Should you be interested to read this treatise, feel free to get back to me on d.tshimba@umu.ac.ug

With regards,

Dave
