"10 Reasons To Say NO To Western Intervention In Libya"
by Andrew Murray, Stop the War, UK, March 14, 2011
www.informationclearinghouse.info/article27674.htm
The US, NATO, AFRICOM, Washington's despots and militaries in Rwanda and Nigeria, f.e.; they and large US and other foreign minining corportions or businesses are definitely in the Congo and have been for much over a decade. It's just that most of the Western part of all of this is not front scenes; whereas western news media being able to find to report, for one reason or another, that Rwandan forces were in the Congo I believe last year still covers up western government and business dominance there. Both Nigerian and Rwandan forces are used in the Congo, DR, as well as in some other African countries for the US; but there are also some US and NATO forces there (DRC), mostly or wholly covert for the US and NATO. The extremely despotic "leaders" of Nigeria and Rwanda are in these positions only because of Washington.
See Keith Harmon Snow, www.consciousbeingalliance.com and allthingspass.com being his Web sites, the former being the much more recent of the two, but while the old one remains available though. There are some articles by him at www.globalresearch.ca, www.blackagendareport.com, and more at www.dissidentvoice.org; and think it's many more at DV.
The reality of the Congo, DR, is something we're kept extremely ignorant of. Very or extremely few people do any real reporting on the Congo, but Keith Snow is an evidently real investigator. The DRC is [very] rich in several or many minerals and all are targets for possession, control, exploitation by western corporations.
It'd be very easy and much more productive to simply treat people justly. But the ruling elites are a little "psycho".
