What culture is that?
You contradict your own post? Arabs are ethnicity based on language and common history, go to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait(especially), Lebanon, etc.. and you will find Arabs of all colors and complexions, from Red hair and pale complexion to as black as West Africans.
pastoralists, our own dances, our own clothes, our clan structures
They quiet about the Congo...
I know pastoralism is still in effect, as well as clan structures
but do the Islamists within your midst allow cultural dances and Somali fashions?
or do they make you guys wear those khalifeh checkered flags and arab gowns?
Congo is a large country, there is only conflict in a small part of the country....mainly the small Eastern Kivu Provinces.
If you go to Kinshasa (the capital), its been stable. Congolese on this board have stated this. The media makes it seem like the war is country wide and it's not.
Is it fair to say that America is at war, because Chicago is violence ridden? Of course not. The rest of the country is pretty much insulated from "Chiraq"...it's similar to the DR Congo (a nation of 71 million people) and Kivu provinces.
Son there has been many conflicts in the Congo that have left over 6 million dead in the last 20 years. This wasn't in one location of the country. I agree the majority of it was in the Kivu province but there was a media blackout about the reason there was a conflict.
Why would people be talking about or take interest is a conflict that has ended?
My point is that nobody is talking about the 6 million dead in 20 years because for the most part the hostilities have ended.
DRC for the most part is stable and a majority of citizens are doing their day to day
Like I said, the only conflict still raging is in the country's small Eastern region on the border with Rwanda. It is not nation-wide.
Never said it was.
so what are you saying?
another thread being derailed by irrelevant racial and ethnic discussions.
What gets me about these articles is that they always seem to mention China and other nations as the "opposing" team. China has stated several times that they frankly don't give a fukk about geopolitical military tactics, hence not developing their military capabilities in the same rate as other nations. On top of that, the writer of the article thinking he's some type of genius that just exposed USs intention to a clueless China is
