Editor,When I read the statement that the United States supports "ongoing efforts to hold FDLR leaders accountable for their atrocities” I wondered what "ongoing efforts” they were referring to.

I am very sure the Congolese people who are suffering and dying at the hands of the FDLR are asking the same question. Does the United States mean the "ongoing efforts” of the United Nations "peacekeeping” mission?We all know what a dismal failure that mission has been! And does the United States really expect the "FDLR soldiers and dependents to present themselves to Congolese or UN authorities for disarmament and repatriation?”If that’s what they expect then they are truly delusional because that will never happen without a strong support system. So that leaves out the United Nations because so far they have shown little or no support for the Congolese people in north and south Kivu.Marie CollinsCanada
