The Congo & M23

[Angrboda]

From what I understand (surprisingly little), a good deal of the cause of the problems stem from the way it was formed. The modern state contains disparate ethinicities and peoples that likely would have formed independent nation states had they been allowed to develop without the Belgian influence. Now, today, you have this conglomerate of a state composed of multiple peoples in a backward condition, civil war and internal problems are inevitable. But practically speaking, there's no way to unring that bell. Chalk it up to another part of the world shattered and destroyed by colonialism.
