M23 don't give a toss about the FDLR. I have seen some reports that they co-opperated with one faction of M23 earlier this year. I want them both gone from the Congo.<br /><br />The issue of refugees is more complex. I will not here detail my thoughts other than to say I despise any judgement on ethnic grounds. Racism is racism it can never be justified.<br /><br />The third demand is well insane. M23 is going to be history soon. That the fools think they can set up an alternate state makes me wonder what drugs they are on.

1) Disarm the FDLR.
...Those demands are hilarious.<br /><br />1) Disarm the FDLR.<br /><br />How come M23 is hellbent on killing and raping innocent Congolese if their main goal is to disarm the FDLR? How is occupying Goma going to disarm the FDLR?<br /><br /><br />2) Allow thousands of people claiming to be Congolese refugees in Rwanda to "return" en masse to the Congo.<br /><br />This is precisely Kagame's objective: to disperse densely populated Rwanda into his neighboring countries. No self-respecting country in the world will let rebels dictate who is a citizen and who is not. There's a government and laws for that sort of things.<br /><br />3) Set up a buffer zone between the FARDC and the territory occupied by M23.<br /><br />Aah... Kagame wants to take a piece of Congo for himself. Won't happen. And what about disarming the FDLR?
