Quotes
[edit]- Yesterday the question was that of nationality, today it is the land. We can give citizenship to those who want and deserve it, but under no circumstances can land be redistributed. For the people, it is not a rural community, but they consider it occupied areas. We fear that the Minembwe case will encourage the so-called Balkanization of Congo.
- The search for natural resources (minerals, timber, etc.) creates strong instability. These are resources coveted by neighboring countries as well as by multinationals, which have no interest in seeing these regions stabilized. There is also the specter of balkanization. Some Western powers, as well as African powers, wish to use all these conflicts to foster chaos and divide the country, a bit like what happened at the time of independence.
- Whether it is foreign powers (France, Belgium, USA, or others), neighboring countries (Uganda, Rwanda, etc.) or some Congolese leaders, warlords, multinationals, NGOs, or even some members of the famous MONUSCO (the UN interposition force, ed), Congo, since its independence, has always been plundered for its numerous and rich natural resources, especially minerals, and then left in poverty and instability.
