I sit in silence. There is nothing to say anymore about the war in Congo…why is the world so quiet about this…
the BBC reports Rwandan troops backing Nkunda in the fight over Goma
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7660592.stm
is there a way to confirm that?
stay safe…
my thoughts go out to all of you out there

Hi Jan. It is hard to confirm, but the fact is that both the Governor of North Kivu and the Congolese envoy to the UN are now stating publicly that it was Rwandan troops at Rumangabo. The Rwandan government is denying this, but when I was there yesterday, local villagers were telling me that they saw troops in Rwandan uniforms.

God help you all.
Please, everyone, start writing to your Congressional members and MPs now! We must bring world attention to bear on this war.

Balemba what a powerful video. I am lost for words. This is just dreadful.
I am in silence too. It is too devastating. Yes let’s start writing. The world is so blind to this.
I get so frustrated that I can not see the video posts over our frustratingly slow speed connections in this part of the world…. I will have to wait for a post Pierre and we are all thinking of you all there. Stay safe.
I’m amazed to see this. Just when I think things may inch towards the better, they seem to fall backwards a mile . . . .
I am speechless as well. Lisa
Balemba. I come to greet your courage and that which filmed these images. You make us live the war directly … and we are, even by far, very close with all these poor people frightened… without being able to act. I hope for only one thing for all, finally the peace… but it seems well far still. Thanks for your news. I hope to have good news of your sector quickly. My friendships with to all.
please go safely.
Thanks Jean Claude. Actually,this is the unique way to break the silence.
I’m on a computer with a very slow speed connection and was able to see your video, Pierre, but hear no sound - but who needs sound with images like these? They say it all… It is a great shame that your powerful images are not being shown all over the world. I know that I am far from impartial, but right now I can only ask: who cares about vice-presidential candidate Palin’s being the mother of five if all over Kivu women are mothers of five and they are running away from gunfire on dirt roads? Who deserves the headlines? The world’s attention? Who has a good plan on how to save Kivu’s children and will implement it? Bon courage to all and take care. Iris

im all for saving the gorrilas/apes/chimps………….but also feel very much for the villagers at the station and also all over the country……………..what is wrong with people these days?……………cant people live in peace?…………..the answer is…..simply…no………..!……….hope you all stay safe out there……..and hope the animals havent been caught up in the fighting………….and yes, get those chimps off the soldiers……….
Brian.
the major governments who CAN do something to help.SHOULD!!…………but as usual……..they do nothing…………..makes you very frustrated seeing how helpless the people in that area are………….
It is imperative that all governments do not let much time go by as it was done once before and than it was announced a genocide.The killing of any person is unspeakable Why is this silenced by the Congolese government and why is it silenced by the Rwanda government. History is on the verge of repeating itself. I am concerned about
these leaders and what is their stake in this faux pas?What lies underneath? Protect the civilians and the Gorillas.We can now only speak up for them since they will not be heard within their own government.

Well done to you Pierre and Eddy!
