Angola occupies DRC...again!















Since January 29, 2007, the Angolan army has been officially occupying the province of Bandundu, Western DRC. In fact they occupy 11 localities in the territory of Kahemba, having even implanted an Angolan flag...The Congolese are raging in Kinshasa and a joint delegation has been organised.

Of course, one must not forget to mention that Kahemba is the area around which flows a river full of diamonds. The same river which fed the war economy during Angola's long and bloody civil war.... Let us hope and see what will happen next....
