It is important to consider that the average age in the Congo is 19, and the distribution skews under that average. It is essentially a nation of children. It is difficult to apply our model of national sovereignty and human rights to that situation, and harder still to do so when we're still marked with colonial guilt. I'm not sure there's a morally accomplishable solution. It seems to be up to the forces of history.
