A discussion about Gorilla murders in Africa’s Virunga National Park
!["Video]("http://www.charlierose.com/images_toplevel/novideo.jpg")
gorillas are an endangered species with some 700 alive. Nearly half of
these animals live in Virunga National Park which borders Uganda,
Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The gorillas are caught in
the middle of the Congo’s ongoing civil war between militia groups and
the Congolese Army. This month’s National Geographic magazine, along
with a companion documentary uncovers the question: “Who murdered the
mountain gorillas?”

First
and foremost the Gorilla murders in Africa’s Virunga National Park is
the least problems facing The RDC(Congo). The most important issue that
needs to be dicussed is the invasion of the RDC(Congo) by three small
neighboring nations Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda since 1998.Paul Kagame
the current president of Rwande( a tutsi) who is the mastermind of the
genocide in the Congo of more than 5,000,000 Congolese dead.Dispite of
all the atrocious circumstances in the Congo,its current president
Joseph kabila an disingenuous foreigner who is also from Rwanda( a
tutsi) is supplying Nkundabatware with all types weapons through Paul
Kagame.The disturbing part is that the international community and the
UN are aware of this but do not want to place the blame on the major
players behind all of this, beacause of their own self interest in the
Congo.I've served in the Congolese Military press prior to the
assassination of Lauren Kabila the former president who was the
adoptive father of Joseph Kabila and the current of The Congo.If you
would like to learn more about the truth visit www.congolaisenaction.org
first,
the 5,000,000 of the congolese who have died it is because
Nkundabatware, who is a Rwandan Tutsi has been collaborating with the
so-called Joseph kabila, who is also a Rwandan Tutsi, with the orders
coming from Paul Kagame so that they can control the resources of the
Congo… So, if you want the gorillas to survive, the world must first
denounce and get rid of the Rwandan Nkundabatware and Joseph kabila, so
that the gorillas can be protected as well as the people of the
Congo-Zarie.

Thanks
for airing the story about this tragedy, which is, among other things,
a tragedy for the rangers doing their best to protect the gorillas
despite incredible adversity. There is an organization called the
International Ranger Federation, comprised of rangers from all over the
world, that is working with other international organizations to do
whatever can be done to support the rangers in Virunga. We all need to
do what we can to aid and assist them – and thereby protect this
terribly endangered species.
I'm
watching the show right now, and I think this has been one of the most
stimulating episodes of Charlie Rose I have ever seen. I think this
perspective of the milita vs. government issues in African nations like
the Congo helps provide a rounder view of how devastating these wars
are. I really enjoyed each guest and how varied their own experiences
are.
Charlie,
the link 'to help the park rangers' goes nowhere- only to Nat'l Geo.
site. What about somewhere where these 20 dollars/month cats can be
helped themselves? 700 left in the world- the whole fr'kn world…….
Maybe if there were oil reserves….we might find more interest in the
loss of 5,000,000 people and the threat to the only remaining
population of a 'cousin' of ours…….ooops, excuse me, call Karen
Hughes, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove—I obviously need an 'intervention'!
By the way, the purpose and dignity of the ranger on the program along
with the other participants should both inspire and be cause for
reflection in our atmosphere of 'high school' intrigue with celebrity.

None
of us trying to help the rangers & hence the gorillas, would ever
suggest that the suffering of all peoples in eastern DR Congo isn't
important. It is one of the most devastated & ignored regions in
the world with atrocious suffering. We can only do what we possibly can
to help the rangers through an extremely difficult and dangerous time.
The people are proud, magnificant, resourceful, brave people, by whom I
am humbled whenever I meet them. If anyone wishes to assist the
rangers/gorillas in the UK please go to www.g4g.co.uk or contact
linda@g4g.co.uk
