Since January 2, it has become a jamboree of megaphone diplomacy; all the prominent voices in the important places have through the media, professed their moral support for the annihilation of the FDLR militia that’s cocooned in the jungles of Eastern Congo.
Now if they all believe in that cause, what’s holding back the action? I think it’s because, that moral support is plastic, suspect and most likely counterfeit.
I believe there was never a plan in place for an offensive; in fact the whole thing could have been a hoax, possibly a dog-whistle signal carrying a coded message for the militia commanders.
There’s this mammalian anecdote that I like, it’s actually a fable by the great Greek story teller Aesop, about the fox and the monkey; I’ll share with you.
