Congo

Ric and I are watching the developments here very closely, having just been to the Rwanda/Congo border earlier this year. Not sure how much coverage this is getting in the US, but we're hoping that a peaceful solution can be worked out sooner rather than later. These conflicts are always complicated by there not being a clear good guy versus bad guy dynamic.

Ric made an interesting point last night that he thinks Rwanda doesn't really like the UN very much, and doesn't trust them, which is why they may be getting involved in the current situation (although that hasn't been proven). After the 1994 genocide, it's hard to fault their distrust.
