The eastern DRC remains a type of a Bermuda Triangle. Mostly human lives, and communities, and agriculture and conflict minerals just disappear. No one really seems to care except for a stake or a foot in the door for some lucrative “rare earths”. Peace deals, threats of arresting rebel leaders, MUNUSCO, SADC, AU, Angola, Kenya, other peace keeping forces, pleas by the Roman Catholic Church and the Protestant Evangelical ECC, citizens that cry, plead and beg, Congo in Haarlem, Friends of the Congo, The Sentry … empty gong like noises while raising funds. Every Congolese that found a way to South Africa now a Pastor. Everybody driving a brutal bargain, but the Christian Church as steward of righteousness and peace in Africa, or the late Rev Andrew Murray’s vision of an Africa for Christ … absent in the arena where international life happens and where people die daily.
