Laurent Nkunda: Congo's Dangerous WARLORD
In late 2008, eastern Congo teetered on the edge of war. Laurent Nkunda’s CNDP forces moved steadily toward Goma. Villagers fled with what they could carry—nearly 250,000 people in weeks—convinced bloodshed was coming. UN peacekeepers were present but largely paralysed. The FARDC, poorly equipped and demoralised, broke under pressure. It was more than a military failure. The state itself seemed absent. ********************************************************************* Sources: LAURENT NKUNDA AND THE NATIONAL CONGRESS FOR THE DEFENCE OF THE PEOPLE (CNDP), by Jason K.
