Kinshasa (Fides Service) - There is no end to the flow of refugees from Mambasa about 500 km east of Kisangani. At least ten thousand men, women and children are fleeing conflict in Mambasa city which the rebel group Movement for Congolese Liberation MLC led by Jean-Pierre Bemba, took from another rebel group the Congolese Democratic Coalition- Liberation Movement led by Mbusa Nyamwisi. "What we cannot understand is why both groups are supported by Uganda" a local sources tells Fides Service. "One possible explanation is that Uganda wants to break up Congolese forces for its own interests. In fact with the support of Western financial circles Uganda is robbing Congo of its gold, diamonds and timber. Moreover both Bemba and Nyamwisi want to reinforce their positions to have more impact on peace talks in Pretoria, South Africa. The victims of this struggle for power are as usual the civilians, to the apparent complete indifference of western governments. It is our duty to denounce the system of hegemonizing human life for power and profit. In Congo since 1998 more than 2 million have been killed in this war in which all sides are guilty: the various countries involved, the rebels, merchants without scruples. With the excuse of a "just war" ( can war ever be just?) are robbing this marvellous country of its riches. An earthly paradise has been plunged into hell by the egoism of greedy men."
