Rwanda is now in Congo, on Obama's Inauguration Day, and all the Congolese students and activists I know, many of whom invested much hope in Obama, are very upset, as I am. Kambale Musavuli, Student Coordinator of Friends of the Congo, is appealing to Cynthia McKinney to help them again.

It is indeed disturbing that the same old people in the new US administration seem set to continue the same policies towards the DRC. I had the good fortune to be able to attend the Congo events in Washington D.C. and found them encouraging, but there is so much work to be done. I have been studying about how major conflicts such as that in the DRC end up 'off the radar'. I have recently published a book and started a blog under the title, Stealth Conflicts: How the World's Worst Violence Is Ignored. I hope you have a chance to check it out. Great article.
