Forgotten War The Cirminal Invasion of the Democratic Republic of Congo

The invasion of the DR Congo (1998-2002) was a calculated, premeditated, and criminal act aimed at the Balkanization of this country for economic interests. Invasion is illegal when in violation of international laws. Rwanda and Uganda invaded the DR Congo without any mandate from the UN. As such, this act was in violation of international law and therefore illegal. Despite this fact, the UN, US, and the rest of the international community failed to condemn this criminal act. Was this an international conspiracy? The invaders caused the death of over 3.5 million Congolese, and the systematic plundering of Congolese resources and other forms of wealth. Despite direct and circumstantial evidence linking the invaders and their Congolese allies in the commission of these crimes, no stone is left unturned to stop the prosecution of the perpetrators of these human rights violations. Is this war, where atrocities surpassed those of Rwanda, Kosovo, Iraq, and East Timor combined, a forgotten war? Who wants to silence the Congolese people and why?Butandu, Rigobert N. is the author of 'Forgotten War The Cirminal Invasion of the Democratic Republic of Congo', published 2004 under ISBN 9781413730821 and ISBN 1413730825.
