    Is AFRICOM still training the Congolese Army?

    Hey Jaja !
    Well, if you wish to word it that way, yes, they are still training there.

    In reality, elements of the US Military are training Congolese soldiers, not staff members from AFRICOM.

    While I get where you are coming from (especially based on my post above), there are instances or training that does not necessarily adversely affect the local population. Such as humanitarian demining.

    There are probably more good examples, but success stories from the DRC are few and far between
    If you want to blend in, take the bus
