I don't lurk this board often but how come nobody's talking about the War in Kivu?
There were so many kino moments
>romanian mercenaries captured fighting for congo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wx7m-Cn55ZY
>Kagame saying "I don't know" when asked if Rwandan Defence Force soldiers were in Congo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qW36WN7q7cc
>SADC peacekeepers withdrawing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdzNZsK_uH0
>bombing at m23 rally in goma
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS3D8T9Ic_Q
I hope Kagame marches all the way to Kinshasa. It's hard to find good footage of the real situation though.

The only current African conflict I care about is whatever is going on in the Sahel.

Because that entire region has been a warzone for literally decades.

African wars need at least 100,000 machete deaths per year before I will skim their Wikipedia article
I'm sorry

Because it's just the same turning rubble into smaller rubble that we saw in Far Cry 2 20 years ago.

You'd think more people would care about the region, if for no other reason than the continuing practice of pre colonial style cannibalism. A bit like the hinterlands of Myanmar or deep into the Sudans there's really wasn't a lot of contact to the outside world until they got independence. That's why there's so much wild shit in those jungles, like the Jehovah's Witness warlord cult back in the 00s or the cannibal holocaust enacted on the pygmys. Oftentimes the first person a congo villager would meet from the outside world was whoever the middleman for the Chinese or Soviets who gave out free guns that month was. That's why there's still some true warlordism in the region that even the rest of the African states don't have anymore.For example, the Simbas were still using spears well into the 60s. And they never really disappeared either, just fragmented into a patchwork of village institutions. So you have at least some continuation of those Pol Pot tier schizos in living memory

Because there isn't anything fifth columnists can agitate about in that conflict, so it's not going to get so much traffic on /k/. That said, there's been periodic threads about it

Because some war happening in the Congo is hardly even news at this point.

This is a /k/agame board, there's nothing to discuss except how many more hutu gorillas need removing

because it's 99% light infantry combat while there's a bunch of very modern wars being fought at the moment, there's sparse footage coming out of there, and it's in africa and people don't give a shit about africa.

I'm pretty sure there's more people carrying about congo on /k/ than anywhere else on the internet. You even made me read a book about it.

Can I get a QRD of what is happening over there?
Why there are so many countries involved?
