7 Reasons Why MONUSCO Is the Biggest Problem in Congo DR
Many reasons why MONUSCO is the biggest problem in Congo DR (forget Kabila). In thirteen years, how have 20,000 troops with a budget of 1.4 billion USD been unable to protect the civilian population of eastern DRC? #Congo#DRC #MONUSCO #UN #Trump
1. Corruption: The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley has said that U.N. peacekeepers in the Democratic Republic of Congo are aiding a government that is “corrupt and preys on its citizens”.
2. Never-ending mission: The U.N. Debacle in Eastern Congo, Monusco’s Incompetence and fiasco in Goma and Butembo are well documented
3. UN sexual misconduct: a United Nations Response Team tasked with investigating sexual abuse allegations committed by UN peacekeepers in DRC found peacekeepers’ systematic sex with minors along with paternity claims.
4. UN peacekeepers Trafficking Minerals: trading arms with rebels in exchange for minerals
5. Slavery: by trafficking minerals, UN peaceKeepers in Congo prop up slavery of rape victims and children in gold and mineral mines
6. Failing to protect civilians: When Congolese protest against Kabila, they get shot and killed in the presence of the completely and utterly impotent and incompetent UN peacekeepers. They fail their primary objective of protecting the civilians
7. Raising the cost of living: In a recent Aljazeera’s investigation, they noted: « One NGO mission chief, who asked not to be named, confessed: “I don’t know what we’re doing here. Our presence raises the price of food and rent, we stop people from moving on, from taking their own decisions and demanding their government take responsibility. We should have left Congo years ago.”
DRC will be better off without the UN peacekeepers
