There is a need to take advantage of the change that has taken place in the Congo, however tragic that has been in its coming.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I cannot forget the place that I come from. The Congo is much in need.
I would hate to see operations in the Congo held hostage to Sierra Leone but I really think that's the way it's got to be. At one point we've got to decide to get it right and we've got to be professional.
One of the matters that must be addressed is that Rwanda and Uganda have to leave the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We're also supporting processes to ensure that the political dialogue among the Congolese themselves takes place so that the people there can decide their future.
I'm extremely optimistic about rapid transformation and change of things in Africa in general.
The murder of Lumumba, in which the U.S. was involved, in the Congo destroyed Africa's major hope for development. Congo is now total horror story, for years.
The Congo is very wealthy from oil money but is not paying its debts and at the same time is applying for special status at the World Bank. That's shocking and disingenuous.
There is always something new out of Africa.
If there is the right opportunity for us to have a big oil play in Congo or somewhere else, we will definitely go for it.
It gives one hope, this great strength of Africa.
The fact that you had disruptions in the peace process was not only in Rwanda. We had the same problem in Cambodia, we had the same problem in Mozambique, we had the same problem in Salvador.
