3/ The war in Congo today is the pursuit of an even greater plan.
As you know mobile phones need a mineral called Coltan to function. How is it that mobile phones spread all over the world as of 1998, right when the "Congo war" really started....funny coincidence nah?

This was not the first or last time the dumb control-freaks of our white race have set up one tribe against another. I hope to post more examples and hope to hear examples from other posters.

Im fully aware of what you think of blacks from many of your other posts here. Knowing that you have this bias, there's no point in trying to convince you of anything. So I'll just let your posts stand as they are, as yet another perspective on the Africa-Issue.

Fact: Before we showed up, Rwanda was just fine.
The Tutsi began to consolidate power and expand politically from their core area, centred on Kigali, in the 13th century. Social distinctions between the ethnic groups soon became a reality, however, enforced by consolidation or assimilation, custom, and ritual. The Tutsi invaded and colonized independent Hutu areas in the 16th and 17th centuries. The final phase of incorporation occurred in the late 19th century.
The Belgians governed in concert with the Tutsi oligarchy, which had the effect of further enhancing Tutsi power in terms of access to educational opportunities and tenure of key civil and technical posts. Some Hutu began to demand equality and found sympathy from the Roman Catholic clergy and Belgian administrative personnel. The independence movement, which began in 1952, was often violent and convulsive. The mysterious death of King Mutara Rudahigwa III in July 1959 and the accession of King Kigeri V increased the ethnic violence and precipitated massacres and a mass exodus of Tutsi from the colony.
