Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo

The government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) protested on Monday at the "unjustified presence" of Rwandan troops on DRC soil in the northeast and warned that it could undermine diplomatic relations.

"The transition government of DRC has learned with surprise and deep concern of the presence of the Rwandan Defence Forces in the Bunagana sector, a border post with DRC, in Nord-Kivu" province, an official statement said.

The United Nations mission in the DRC (Monuc) on Saturday confirmed that Rwandan soldiers were deployed in the region, which remains the most volatile in the vast DRC since Rwanda announced a total pull-out from the country in October 2002 after a devastating war that embroiled more than half a dozen countries.

1. I've Never Understood How A Big 'ol Country Like the DRC

with all that mineral wealth to spend on defense could let a little place like Rwanda walk all over it. Is the area just too remote?

This has been going on for years! Any other country would have launched an all-out invasion on the aggressor.
