U.N. Chief: Rebels 'poisonous' for Congo

This article was about the rebels in Congo. The rebels are fighting the government troops in The Democratic of Congo and the U.N. chief was concerned that the rebels will be "poisonous" for Congo. The violence and the attacks were worsening the whole issue and the situation. A lot of innocent people have been exposed to the battles and though many of them fled to other countries or the U.N. protected camps, hundreds have died during the last past eight weeks. It had started from the killings of a half-million Tutsis by Hutu militia in Rwanda and Congo's civil wars in 1994. A lot of people were killed and people near by could hear someone screaming and would find a corpse being taken away in the morning. People demanded that Nkunda and Mai Mai commanders should order their troops to stop committing such horrible crimes and that they should be responsible for all the deaths. Other countries have agreed to stop arming, financing or support armed group in anyway.

I thought that this article was important because the rebels could end up worsening the whole country. A lot of innocent people are getting murderd out in the streetins and making all the people around the country more stressed and panicked. Many people, including the neighboring countries and the U.N. have to suffer from it and is trying to work things out.
