Aircraft crash in the DRC not becuase of maintancence issues or crew training. Most of the crews flying in these types of area's are some of the most experienced pilots you will ever meet!! They fly in the worst conditions thinkable and can pole an aircraft like aces. They crash becuase of bad terrain, huge mountains and very bad weather!!
Your comment takes a lot away from all the people involved in such areas.
