‘Rapid response’? The Ituri and Kivu provinces have been subjected to armed conflicts since before the 1960 ( even pre-western colonialisation as slave trade history shows). Killings and rape has been the norm, on and off, for various reasons which revolve around race, politics, mining and foreign interests. Too many ‘fingers in the pie’ to resolve without ‘cutting hands off’ (pun intended re: colonial history - I’m ashamed to day). Even though a large majority of the guilty parties are not Africans their hands should be cut off as well. And this leaves very few in our world, if any, with the power to put things right in the heart of Africa. I weep for the continent and its innocent peoples.
