No British troops should be sent to the Congo!!

A technical blocking a bridge stopping food shipments because a "tax" wasn't paid is no match for a Cobra gun ship.


That is, regrettably, the only real way of dealing with such corrupt, feuding 'people' intent on taking their primitive tribal issues into the 21st century. Any 'Aid' will just go straight into a corrupt official's pocket and any food will merely end up being sold by profiteers.

By the way, was the Technical persuaded to move before the Cobra needed to make its point more obviously?

Why is NuLabor so keen on interfering in the Congo when they've done the square root of f**k all about Zimbabwe?
