In this short yet comprehensive interview with Wayne Madsen, he provides an excellent 5min summary on the major players involved in the Congo crisis. Plus he provides this little tidbit:
"It's much easier to loot a country when it has a destabilized government and various warring factions. You don't have to deal with one central government - you can deal with whatever warlord is controlling whatever diamond or gold mine you're trying to exploit."
That's exactly what I wrote in a previous post where I detailed the roots of the war in Congo.
BTW, be sure to bookmark the Real News Network. They've got amazing news reports with perspectives you'll never find in the MSM.
