Do Something!

The UN has issued an "urgent appeal" for the militias to stop fighting in the eastern part of DR Congo. An urgent appeal? Is that the same as saying "pretty please"? Tomorrow they're going to try "I'll be your bestest friend". There are 11,000 UN troops in DR Congo. Do they intend to do something with them?

Not that anybody cares, but they are supposed to be having elections next year. The world worked to make sure that Afghanistan had free elections, we're trying to do the same in Iraq. But as usual Africa just doesn't matter.
