Our media too needs to set the agenda right. Much of what David wrote was<br>
heavily influenced from what he read in foreign media. Earlier I made a<br>
comparison between what happened in Daffur and in Congo. In 2003 some 5<br>
million people died in the Congo. You may recall the Banyamulenge<br>
atrocities inside Congo but in spite the fact that there were indictable<br>
people by ICC, the issue was brushed under the carpet.<br>
<br>
Congo is a mineral rich country with a government that hadly know what is<br>
going on in their country. Some people want it that way. Below see a quote<br>
from the Financial Times and see why I made that conclusion.<br>
<br>
"Given the muted response to the evolving fiasco in Congo, there is<br>
much less international appetite for outrage, or even for an accurate<br>
count. Western countries are less enchanted with Mr Kabila than they<br>
were in 2006, when he won a UN-supervised election, promising to bring<br>
peace and economic recovery. He has done neither.<br>
<br>
But unlike Mr Ouattara in Ivory Coast, Mr Tshisekedi does not enjoy<br>
significant backing from anyone outside the Congo.<br>
<br>
He is his own man. That is one reason a large number of Congolese<br>
persist in believing that he might turn things round. At 78, he is<br>
representative of a generation of opposition leaders who dedicated<br>
decades to the fight against dictatorship. Most, including Mr Gbagbo<br>
have proved disastrous in government."<br>
<br>
<br>
You cannot be your own man in Africa if you need the support of Western<br>
countries. This is a worrying statement and confirms that our media has<br>
largely failed in setting the African agenda and begin to influence the rest<br>
of the world.<br>
<br>
Virtually all mineral rich African countries are at war from the west to<br>
central and eastern Africa. Is is a coincident?<br>
