I just got back from the Congo and it's depressing. The problem is very complicated. Not only do you have local rebels, but you have Zimbabwe, Angola, and Namibimia supporting the government and Uganda and Rwanda supporting the rebels. It's getting better on the western part of the country, but the eastern is falling a part. If it weren't for the French, it would have been worst.

There are good news however, they just swore in 4 vice presidents, 1 from the government and 3 from the different rebel factions. If this holds on, they might be able to move toward the democratazation in a few years.

Another problem also is the amount number of PMC (Private Military Corporations) that is being used to guard the diamond mines by different factions. Most of these PMCs are from the old Rhodesian armies and South African special forces. There is nobody that is holding them accountable.
