Arrr, matey! The rascally M23 scallywags be plunderin’ the D.R. Congo, claimin’ to guard the Tutsi crew! But savvy sea dogs know ‘tis the glitterin’ minerals they be after, fillin’ their coffers to keep our shiny gadgets runnin’! Ruth Maclean spills the beans from her West Africa crow's nest!
Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round, fer I be tellin' ye a tale of ruckus an' ruckus, where the landlubbers of the Democratic Republic of Congo be dancin' with rebels, known as M23, who be backin' their mischief with the aid of the crafty Rwandans!These scallywags be claimin' they be protectin' their own, the Tutsis, who faced a mighty dark day in '94, when the cruel shadows of genocide did stalk the land. But, nay, savvy sea dogs speak of a treasure far more shinier than mere hearts and souls—'tis the rare minerals of Congo that be makin' our trinkets and devices come to life!
Ruth Maclean, the wise wench from the New York Times, peeks behind the curtains of this ruckus, showin' us how these rebels, hand in hand with their Rwandan mates, be fillin' their chests with gold whilst the good folks of Congo be sufferin' in the muck. So hoist yer sails, me mateys, for the winds of greed be blowin’ fierce across the seas of conflict, an’ we be but pawns in their devilish game!
