  2. M23 isn't in Goma, you all spreading false news thinking we will run, we in Goma haven't seen any m23 or rwandese, you no gonna scare no body, france 24 aljazeera keep spreading lies, none of you are mentioning how the m23 are dying

  3. MPs make 21k $per month in a country classified among the poorest country.
    Many setback of the army can be attributed to high corruption in army, less moral of the soldiers.
    Being a soldier of the DRC of the worst thing ever you can hear if you die on front, that is the end, your child will be on street.
