end this senseless war

Give me that terminator guy? who does he think he is? He can kill and get away with it. How will (we) Congolese live together with people who have been killing us for over a decade. Why can't the UN arrest that terminator guy before he wipes out villages from the face of the world. If no one will intervene, The French should and we will give them all our resources. we better have peace than useless resources. Nkunda go to prison, together with your Rwandan financiers. God help Congo. i see no FDLR in the ground, no interahamwe...the world is simply decieving us. we know who our enemies are, hutus are not. we have co-existed with Hutu well for a very long time, even before the civil war.

The Facts or Your Opinion?

You journalists should really make a choice between giving us the facts or your own opinions. (If you choose the second, try at least show images that match with your opinions)
1. You mention that all men are being killed by Nkunda's troops but the pictures show dozens of civilians around soldiers (and they don't look like Tutsis). Would you expect that poor woman to tell you that her late husband was indeed FDLR or Maimai? There must be a reason why those twenty men were targeted among hundreds. Is it really inconceivable that some militias would fail to escape and hide in houses? Maimai are not soldiers that live in barracks. They live in villages where they have wives and kids.
2. You tell us that Nkunda's officers speak English, but your video shows Maj Muhire speaking excellent French, Bosco Ntaganda who you present as a known CNDP commander + one driving soldier who probably just wanted to impress the viewers and his friends with a few worlds of English. Oh, and by the way, the vast majority of Rwandan army officers speak French. Cross the border and check if its not too much asking...
