I've seen some reports from Steve Haratige(sp) from FNC. Does not look good there. Sounds like another UN operation.

There is shooting all around but the UN can not step in and Fire back.

French commander Col Daniel Vollot said: 'Our mandate has not changed. We are trying to impede the fighting through negotiations. We went between the lines, we spoke to the soldiers, to the leaders, but no one wants to talk, they want to fight.'

Sound familiar?

Having flocked to Bunia in the expectation of seeing a triumphant French intervention, they found themselves depending on Bunia's humiliated Uruguayan UN peacekeepers, who fired not a round in return yesterday. this sentence says so much about the situation in the Congo right now. A wag would say the first mistake was an expectation of a French triumph in anything. However, realistically it is just another UN Clusterf***.

So a few more civilians are butchered and maybe eaten based on past reports of cannibalism. No one really cares from teh EU or enough troops would already be there and be protecting the people. the French are only interested in expanding their own interest and profit and the size of the death toll really does not matter to them.

Wasn't this posted yesterday? No worries - it's a great title. And just think - the Canadian army is sending an awesome contingent to help the French. The inside of their tents will see real action now.

Sending French soldiers is about as cruel as sending English chefs.

If the Americans were there, the country would be peaceful, and the press could complain that somebody was missing a hot bath. Instead, we have the UN, widespread violence with a little cannibalism thrown in, and the press is silent. Life is a comedy for those who think...

The UN is worthless, Kofi is a traitor to an entire continent, the French are users who sell guns for blood diamonds, and the Belgiums are nothing.
