Second Follow-up on North Kivu Situation

Seems that a coincidence of timing is making things much worse as the fighting progresses:

1)FARDC (the D.R. Congolese Army) is showing its heels.

2)Efforts to evacuate Aid Workers have failed so far.

3)There has been another change of command at MONUC. This is the second command change in about one month.

Did I mention the quality of CNDP (the major rebel army) anti-aircraft fire is improving? Most unfortunate, that, as MONUC seems to be limited to only helicopter gunship raids as their peacekeepers are falling back as well.

T.I.A.
