#1 The province just north of it "Sud-Kivu" is the main coffee growing area. Tanganyika grows a little coffee. Both areas are also filled with various factions that never went back to Rwanda after the genocide. It's been dangerous since at least 1990 just due to these interlopers. The article refers to local tribes so it's gotten more complex.

#3 You had all better knock it off because almost three nights a week, I somehow end up watching what you are doing to each-other there. and it is getting worse.

Imagine going to sleep every night and ending up in the congo anyway watching guys getting their legs twisted off and girls raped. every night is driving me into a bad state of mind about the place no matter what.

No use complaining here but the congo has become a focal and one that is too deep right now to recover.

#6 The worst I saw in Angola was the aftermath of some rebel group out of the DRC visiting and pillaging a village

#7 "The worst I saw in Angola was the aftermath of some rebel group out of the DRC visiting and pillaging a village"

Ergo all roads lead back to DR Congo.
