Editor,After reading Pan Butamire’s piece article, ‘The messing and messed-up international community’ (The New Times, July, 27), I wish to add my comment on the whole saga about the DRC conflict.I consider the unfounded allegations against Rwandan leaders and military as yet another sign of yet bullish attitude toward Africa by western powers. If they are looking for war criminals, they should not look far from their countries. Western governments have directly killed innocent people around the world with impunity – and the same continues to date.Western countries and international organizations, including the United Nations, stood by as the Genocide against Tutsi was swept through the country like bush fires. And the elements responsible for that genocide, the FDLR, is still laying havoc in eastern DRC; yet no one looks keen to even condemn them, let along stop them.If they are looking for problems to fix they have more than enough on their hands.SabinKayonza ---------------------------------------Editor,I loved reading Pan Butamire’s article, “The messing and messed-up international community of July, 27. I think the western world has interfered with African business for far too long; its time they stay out of it. I don’t know much about politics but seriously when you look at what they are accusing Rwanda of doing in DRC without credible evidence, you wonder what the motives are. I think Rwanda is the few countries willing to genuinely work with Congolese people to sort out the mess in their country.I don’t subscribe to the idea of super powers terrorising developing countries for whatever reasons. Rwanda has come a long way and Rwandans want nothing but continued stability and economic development, as well as peace in the wider region.Susan Keza
