If the UN was on the side of the displaced in DRC, it would give them a break

The hills around the DRC provincial town of Goma, have for the last several days, been the theatre of another round of internecine strife. Thousands of people are again on the move, displaced by fighting that they have not had a say in, the tranquility of their hills shattered by the sound of gunfire. The problems in the Kivu have preoccupied the minds of the international community to the extent that it sent the biggest peacekeeping force under the UN flag, MONUC, to bring some semblance of calm.
