Nairobi II: Is it serious this time?

Yet another round of talks in Narobi, the second in 12 months to try and find a lasting solution to the crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This time though, the players have increased threefold; with 12 African countries, the UN, US, and the EU all chipping in to see whether the Congolese people, especially those living in the eastern pat of the country can sleep at ease. Going by the number of regional countries who attended the meeting, it is obvious that at last they have seen the dangers of having a neighbour with a contagious disease if no preventive measures are taken.
