Congo : War Without End

The FDLR, less centralized and more geographically scattered than the CNDP, living in different camps build in secret places, (where they cultivate, do some training, and control the area) made less pretense of administrative control but nonetheless exercised political dominance in substantial parts of North Kivu.It sought to profit from exploiting local resources, taxing trade, and exorting goods from Congolese who live near its bases.Fighting persist in the east, where rebel holdouts loot, rape and murder.
