GOMA

just wondering... is anyone still flying out of Goma during the current situation or has everyone de-camped ?

Was close by today. You don't want to be in Goma right now, not because of the rebels but the local police and officials are on the rampage. All expats are at Serena in Gisenyi waiting things out. Flights were still moving and the radio was busy.

Nkunda is 15 km outside and holding the high ground. Things should get better in a few days since the congolese ran away when Nkunda approached. Only MONUC left behind but as usual not doing much to help.

Thanks HeliAce.... Interesting to hear that MONUC are living down to their reputation....
Congo ... 1 step forward; 3 steps back.
