And if this not enough, still got West
According to reliefweb nearly 35000 angolese have been expulsed from DRC to Angola since January 2009.
This could be linked to the next sea exclusive area law passed by DRC government.
According to that bill, angola is exploiting oil in DRC land...
when it is not East, it is South. And if not, then you have Kabinda...
Gosh I love this country.:D
The Congolese Martial Tradition
Why would anyone be surprised? The former FAZ went to Rwanda when the war brokeout in 1990 and was so brutal that the ex-FAR--the military that would assist in the genocide--asked that the FAZ be sent home.

NAIROBI, Oct. 15 -- A top U.N. human rights investigator on Thursday blasted a U.N.-backed Congolese military operation targeting rebels in eastern Congo, calling its results "catastrophic."
"Hundreds of thousands have been displaced, thousands raped, hundreds of villages burnt to the ground and at least 1,000 civilians killed," Philip Alston, the United Nations' special rapporteur on extrajudicial executions, said in a statement. "In many areas, it is [Congolese soldiers] themselves who pose the greatest direct risk to security."

Clergyman linked to Rwandan genocide seized in Italy
(CNN) -- A Rwandan accused of "complicity" in the massacre of students at the college he headed during the country's genocide 15 years ago has been arrested in Italy, where he served as a clergyman, an international police agency said.
Interpol hailed arrest of Uwayezu as a demonstration of effectiveness of international police co-operation.
Officers from the Italian Carabinieri and Interpol's National Central Bureau in Rome, Italy, arrested Emmanuel Uwayezu -- who had been wanted in Rwanda, the international police organization Interpol said Wednesday in a news release.
Uwayezu, 47, is accused of genocide, conspiracy to commit genocide, complicity in genocide and crimes against humanity. He is in Italian custody and is awaiting extradition to Rwanda.
According to Interpol's statement, the Rwandan arrest warrant says Uwayezu was alleged "to have acted individually and as part of a conspiracy to plan and commit genocide by instigating Hutus to kill Tutsis in the area of Gikongoro, as director of the Groupe Scolaire Marie Merci college in Kibeho."
