Convicted felon President Trump will have to reduce the number of conflicts he claims to have settled back to seven as the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels keep staging attacks against the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s government forces along the country’s volatile eastern border.
Reuters doesn’t even bother trying to tally the dead in the region, only counting 115 wounded soldiers and civilians in a 25-bed community hospital in the town of Fizi late last month. Without actually saying it, the wire service seems to be trying to paint a picture of a conflict as ugly as it has ever been over the past few years, if happening further out in the sticks and away from media.
“The highlands around Uvira are highly strategic: whoever controls them has access to major towns in the lowlands,” said Regan Miviri, an analyst at the Ebuteli research institute in Kinshasa. “And because the area is so remote, the fighting there draws less attention and less diplomatic pressure.”
Meaning Trump can just continue lying and count it as one of the eight conflicts he claims to have ended and if it gets worse he can just say it’s still eight because he stopped the US from going to war with Denmark over Greenland. He really earned that Nobel that Maria Corina Machado won.
