Noelle King: 我和嘉宾Michaela Rong将一起探讨刚果民主共和国的冲突问题。Michaela Rong对卢旺达和刚果问题有深入研究,著有《Do Not Disturb》和《In the Footsteps of Mr. Kurtz》等书。我们将重点讨论M23叛军的背景及其对刚果局势的影响。 Michaela Rong: M23自称是刚果图西族人,但实际上他们从邻国卢旺达获得支持,包括武器、资金和制服,并接受卢旺达总统卡加梅的指挥。卢旺达的真正目的是掠夺刚果东部富饶的土地。尽管卢旺达在西方国家眼中形象良好,但其长期干预刚果事务是不争的事实。卡加梅政府利用体育等手段掩盖其在国内外的压迫行为,西方国家需要重新审视与卢旺达的关系,并对刚果局势给予更多关注。
