A practical solution to this continued senseless killing of women and childrens caught in the intended crossfire-of-rebles vs government soldiers, lie in what may seem far-featched; however, the truth is, is that, send an impartial "private military security firm" with men of war, recent released ex-con's (prisoner's), ex-vets who are homeless throughout the street of america, gang members and lead by well skilled leaders. This would solve the homeless problem on our street, give ex-cons a real chance to redeem themselves and offer ex-vets a chance to utilize the former training for a worthy cause. Most important, this private security group could serve as a "protection force" at refugee camps'. Just thinking out loud...

The worry is that Congolese fighting will spill over into neighboring countries. Indeed, geopolitical machinations have already come into play. The DRC's government has accused Rwanda of supporting Nkunda (which it denies), and has called on Angola for help. Yesterday, Angolan Deputy Foreign Minister Georges Chicoty told a national radio program that his country would send troops to the Congo, overseen by the European Union and SADC. But given their close ties to the DRC government, Angolan troops could serve as a provocation to Nkunda, who has warned that while he will welcome impartial African peacekeepers, he will attack forces that align themselves with government troops. What is abundantly clear is that without effective action, the conflict in eastern Congo will continue to wreak havoc on this vast, underdeveloped, mineral-rich but poverty-stricken country. Boshoff fears more internal refugees and, if Goma falls to Nkunda's rebels, possibly countrywide riots and retaliation against Tutsis. At its worst, that could mean a Rwandan-style genocide.
