No, the US should not send in thousands and thousands of troops and turn the DRC into Afghanistan, but if the Congolese are open to the idea of advisers in areas ranging from mine security to taxes, we and others should oblige. We could also encourage the Congolese to bring less cold-blooded managers and investors - regardless of Chinese companies' opposition - into mining industries. Time for them to make pitches to the Norwegian fund and others like it?
Meanwhile, we need to promote improvements in health and countless other areas. Electric buses are wonderful for the air in Alexandria, but let's not forget the toxins in the lungs of underpaid Congolese miners without even elemental protective gear. Props to Kara for caring and fearlessly acting toward an end to the barbarities!
