When will the UN walk the talk on FDLR?

The East African Community (EAC) plans to launch its own quest to try and restore peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). They will be about the umpteenth organization that has tried and failed to even make a dent in trying to straighten out the DRC. And many more will follow, but unfortunately all attempts will end in dismal failure if all efforts are not accompanied by political will; by both the DRC government and the UN. Year in year out, the UN, with the world’s largest peacekeeping contingent, has announced with fanfare of its “imminent” offensive against DRC’s largest and deadliest militia, the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR). The world is still waiting.
