The UN "peacekeeping mission" is a negative force in Kivu not keeping peace but escalating war and becoming entangled with the most negative of all negative forces in the Great Lakes region; the FDLR. The UN Brigade fighting on the same side with FDLR is both a tragic and absurd development but not surprising. The French who are in charge of peacekeeping opertions at the UN are using their position to influence decisions taken by the UN in Kivu.
The French have unfinished business in the Great Lakes particularly with Kagame and Rwanda. The RPF kicked them out of Rwanda in 1994. They are now back in Kivu through the "peacekeeping" arm of the UN to continue lending support to their interahamwe friends and to settle scores with Kagame. The French are well aware that an organised and efficient group like M23 taking full control of the East would spell the end of French influence in the Great Lakes region.
Therefore it follows that out of over more than 20 armed groups in East DRC, M23 is enemy number one that must be eliminated. Forget about ADF that sent over 60,000 Congolese fleeing into Uganda recently after capturing Congolese towns. ADF is not the concern of the UN Brigade. All focus is on M23. Western NGOs, "human rights" groups in Kivu and sections of Western media representing Western commercial interests in Kivu are well aware that an M23 controlled East DRC would spell doom for foreign commercial interests that have struck lucrative mineral resource deals with Kabila, which deals are of no benefit at all to the Congolese people of the East.
So it follows that there is a furious media smear campaign directed against M23 orchestrated by these groups. The South African ruling elites have deployed South African troops in the UN Brigade to protect their personal commercial investments in Kivu. Tanzania has deployed troops in the UN Brigade because of Kikwete's support for Kayumba Nyamwasa and group and to save Joseph kabila who has invested a lot in Tanzania, its believed that all kabila's investements in Nyerere's country are managed by Kikwete's son. No single foreign group is in Kivu for the purpose of protecting civilians or restoring peace. Each group is present in Kivu with a hidden agenda.
