Believes Rwanda is involved in Congo

Duh! Really!

So what is the United States going to do about it? Probably give them more aid to ask them to stop. That's been diplomacy at its best.

You should ask your elected leaders why we are supporting this little bad boy of Africa.

Rwanda Stirs Deadly Brew of Troubles in Congo - NYTimes.com:
"KIGALI, Rwanda — There is a general rule in Africa, if not across the world: Behind any rebellion with legs is usually a meddling neighbor. And whether the rebellion in eastern Congo explodes into another full-fledged war, and drags a large chunk of central Africa with it, seems likely to depend on the involvement of Rwanda, Congo’s tiny but disproportionately mighty neighbor.

There is a long and bloody history here, and this time around the evidence seems to be growing that Rwanda is meddling again in Congo’s troubles; at a minimum, the interference is on the part of many Rwandans. As before, Rwanda’s stake in Congo is a complex mix of strategic interest, business opportunity and the real fears of a nation that has heroically rebuilt itself after near obliteration by ethnic hatred.
