Reading How Congo is a Victim of Discrimination

The Congo is a victim of discrimination? No way!

That's a polite way of saying the truth. In the case of Congo, I believe the western world views them as 'collateral damage' in quest of their 'vital interest'. I may be wrong!

But how do you let over 5.4 millions people, mostly women and children, died from a preventable and treatable diseases while you import their mineral resources?

BBC NEWS Africa Congo victim of 'discrimination':

"The world is not sending enough troops to the Democratic Republic of Congo because of discrimination, a former top UN official has told the BBC.

There is 'inbuilt discrimination when it comes to Africa', said Jan Egeland, pointing to the world's response to crises in the Middle East and Europe.

He is one of 16 former top officials and leaders to sign a letter calling on the EU to send troops to DR Congo.

Some 250,000 people have fled recent fighting in eastern DR Congo.
The UN this month said it would send an extra 3,000 troops to DR Congo, on top of the 17,000 already there - the world's largest peacekeeping force.

But Mr Egeland said this was not enough for DR Congo, which is almost the size of western Europe."
