The Congo

I know that Goodwin has the New York Times as his source but I thought that thi article was very interesting and so I had to post about it. Yesterday's paper had an article about the Congo and how the Genocide that has happened in Rawanda has spiled over into the Congo and many of the Hutu rebels are now reacking havok in the Congo. Just recently the Congo national army said that they would kill any opposition that they have. They gave the rebels an ultimatum and told them to turn in their weapons and join the national army. This I thought was a step in the right direction because it shows the country of Congo taking the initiative to take control of th problem and end it. This type of action I think is very affective and it was proven to be so because many of the rebles have now put down there weapons and there are strides for creating peace in what is now a killing zone.
