Many of the protester carried signs references to President Obama's lack of interest in stopping genocide. "10 million people have been murdered, and 4 million raped by current Democratic Republic of the Congo President Joseph Kabila", said Jacque Miango, "the people of Congo want President Obama to step in and help the people of Congo like he did with Egypt, and Libya, Miango also stated.

    The truth is every body is accountable this mess happening in the Congo during President Mobutu the USA Knew how the contry doing bad to own people the did not do nothing because Mobutu protected their interest as the big allier in the African region well congoleses people were suffering but when the wistle blower the former ambassador USA to Congo was Former president of the Usa sinior George Bush make the worked up call to congolese people because of that he has been deported back to USA later on became the President of the USA but on international policy with Africa he became the Big friend of the president Mobutu forgot about the Congolese People. This the world without massy if we Congoleses Steal believe that something can change unless The USA stops all companies give Rwanda money to buy minerales in the Congo and start the process of realy talk kabila steal on power with the will of international communities but the big bomb to his friend are the Congoleses like the Egyptiens or the Libians it is time to ignore the international to intervern in our problem remeber this It took many many years to realise that mobarrak was the bad guy to hiis the Egyptians unless the people of Egypte voice that when you will see the international communities behind you as long as Kabila is the sllier to the Americans nothing can change Presindent Obama to interfie in Congolese issues the same to Israel they have themselves to prosecute the people send them to the gaz chamber before the World declared as the holocoste against juishes other wise nothing will happen. this the the moment to sacrifice ouselves for the future of the congo and restauring our traditional values by calling upon our encestors. today media is the business nobody can put your story if it cant bring attention or distroy the benefice of the world police.

    dear
    The DRCongo presidential elections hold up was the first point of their struggle, hold up by the imposter and fraudster hyppolyte kanambe (alias joseph kabila)chief of the kleptocratic leadership looting the Congo on behalf of members of their mafio-terroristic club.
    He isn't congolese, with a fake birthcerficate , born in administratively unknow place, fake parents, fake name
    to take hold of the congolese wealth
    as fraudster and impostor he should be sued and punished following the laws of DRC;
    2.Restore the verity of the ballot box and accept the statitistics of the catholic church the truly elected president is ETIENNE TSHISEKEDI
    3;The genocide, programmed gynecide via rape etc, are the included in the masterplan of Kanambe to crush the congolese population he has no right to rule, just the old nazist way of Hilter in occupied lands
