It’s time for Congolese to address their problems

Editor,Nothing really surprises me in this entire saga. The way some people view the wars, I think it seems war is the best game ever used by the powerful countries in order to satisfy their interests.As they say, “It’s an ill wind that blows nobody any good”. Does the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) possess nuclear weapons? Everyone knows the answer. From my point of view, no power will last forever even though it may take time.Some countries get most of their power from outside their homes, which is why some countries still impose restrictions to others. DRC should realise that no one else will take care of its own responsibilities and find solutions for its problems.It cannot rely on outsiders for solutions to its own weaknesses. Congolese must find solutions born out of their own experiences.Jesus’ Daughter,Sweden***********************Thank you very much for this well-prepared opinion.You definitely raised important issues and your article represents what people in leadership positions need to take seriously. That part of the world has never seen peace since the independence time, and yet the international community is oblivious to what’s happening. Why can’t the leaders take the issue seriously? If they could only use the resources that God has given them to better the lives of their people. Keep sharing your thoughts and ideas, hopefully someone will listen. Thank you once again.Carter,USAReactions to Joe B. Jakes’ opinion, “The United Nations in the DR Congo: Promoting peace or provoking war?”, (The New Times, April 29)
