The situation in Congo has further deteriorated in recent weeks, the rebel troops commanded by General Laurent Nkunda advance towards the capital Brazzaville again clashing with the regular Congolese army men, and coming to conquer the area east of the country, the province north of Kiuva. Oluseguin Obasanjo UN envoy and Nigerian President, asked the rebel leader to clarify his requests. Nkunda said that the first thing to do to resolve this conflict is that the president of Congo, Joseph Kabila, agree to negotiate with the guerrillas, or "will be war." The explosion of violence resumed after years of fragile truce (2003-2006), seen in numerous cases of violations of fundamental human rights. The High Commissioner of the United Nations, Navi Pillay, complains an awful "deteriorating situation" and the occurrence of murder and torture "in the most brutal forms." How now, unfortunately, seems to have become customary in the wars are always the most vulnerable to suffer the worst consequences. Besides the terrible story of child soldiers (counting were 27 000 to 2006) a tragedy within the tragedy, to suffer the brunt of the conflict, women in particular. Often subject to rapes and abuse of various kinds, are among those who are suffering all over the clash between rebels and the Congolese government. The Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, said the problem "has reached unimaginable proportions and endemic in some societies." The severity of the condition of women, is also confirmed by the former commander of Patrick peecekeeping Cammeret, "has probably become more dangerous be a woman than a soldier in armed conflicts. " Both the 'UN and the European Union, have called on several occasions, to both warring factions to put an immediate end to these repeated violations of basic rights, and work to reach an agreement. In an attempt to avoid what is apparently began as a series of guerrilla actions against the Congolese government to become a new war, the United Nations decided to send another 3,000 troops in the African territory. The UN peacekeepers already in Congo were 17 000, 20 000 by now become the new grafts. The troops set up as a means of interposition between Nkunda's men and those of President Kabila, are part of the largest project ever peeacekeeping implemented by the Security Council, and his name is Monuc. In fact, many non-governmental organizations and associations for the protection of human rights, have so far highlighted the inability of this huge contingent in preventing situations of tension, and hope to be done but more work in the diplomatic field. However, the UN seems determined to collect an indication of civilians on the spot, and is pressing the EU to send new troops too. The EU instead seems geared to give more weight to the advice of NGOs, and despite the failed attempt at mediation of the French Foreign Minister and English, Bernard Kouchner and David Milband, still works in this direction. The situation, waiting for diplomacy to run its course and find possible solutions, is worsening day by day. There are now about 250 000 refugees from Congo who make their way to the border with Rwanda in an attempt to escape the violence by both rebel government by men. Meanwhile, despite the support of the Congolese government troops there are also soldiers of Rwanda, also rises, the tension between Kabila and Rwandan President, accused of supporting and financing some rebel militias in the border areas. The threat of another war in Congo, is merely the result of negotiations never completed, of patches and truces that never go beyond the short term. After a partial freeze of arms lasted two years, the rebels have returned to strike. These war zones live, not just the weight of a perennial domestic political instability, but also the pressures of various countries around the world through the funding of the warring parties, they try to expand their domains and to take a significant foreground Unfortunately, in what promises to be the new frontier of the war, namely that the hoarding of energy resources. Because these conflicts are able to find peaceful solutions, and above all stable, we need a strong and joint diplomatic action of major governments around the world. As you can see giving a simple look at conflict areas in fact, not enough action to ensure a lightning partial benefit to the factions come before, but it serves to achieve a lasting peace which represents the principle from which to begin a process of "normalization" that allows these countries to undertake the construction of truly democratic institutions and local roots. It 'also important that the efforts to heal the wounds of conflicts are not seen as attempts at a new settlement, but relate instead to create a shared attitude as much as possible and lasting. E 'need not only put an end to these disputes, act with force against the terrible human rights violations these places that afflict humans. The implementation of these additional depravity of the war such as torture, rapes and use of child soldiers, will slow down the path to social peace, and threatens rather than being a source of future friction between the components of society.
