Cute When you get to the Congo, and are on the ground, with only 699 other folks, let me know how easy it is to keep order, ok? You probably are unaware of what the population of Bunia is: "The force now has about 700 troops in Bunia, but its U.N. mandate only requires it to protect the town, the airport and camps full of people driven from their homes by violence. Aid agencies hope that improved security would allow thousands of families sleeping under orange tarpaulins to return to Bunia neighbourhoods that are little more than ghost towns. They say the population of Bunia could swell to at least 200,000 as residents return from further afield, compared to about 50,000 to 70,000 people remaining in the town. " reliefweb.int
