    Fantastically researched - it's a shame that this conflict has been ongoing. I have visited the Rwenzori Mountains and Bwindi in the past, both of which are stunningly beautiful and sites of global significance for biodiversity, with the Rwenzori Mountains, or "Mountains of the Moon" as they are sometimes known, being the highest mountains in central Africa (the region, not the country), and therefore going through 7 ecological zones from tropical rain-forest to alpine, and thus being home to absolutely unique fauna and flora. I'm not 100% sure, but I thought that there was also some Interahamwe forces added to the ADF and in conflict with them at various periods as well?

    Hello Hilbert. I always felt reports from this region were over simplified. This was very interesting. The last I heard about this area was when Alok Sharma visited and reports focused on ebola. He was the first person I met at university - my claim to fame along with comedy actor Adrian Edmondson's dad being my geography teacher. He used to tell us about his time in Africa, which was, I suppose, what started my interest.

In most cases when rebels free across the border, they are protected by their kinsmen. Some groups have sometimes claimed that they want to secede and form a new state with their tribesmen across the border e.g the Yiira republic that has never happened. It's a big mess here.

The UPDF were "invited" by the Congolese Government; both sides stroke a deal to join forces against the ADF, especially in the wake of last month's intensified bombings/explosions that shook Kampala - Uganda's capital city - and other towns. Said attacks were blamed on the ADF who've long found haven in eastern Congo's deep forests.

    You've given a good chronology of the events of this rebel group. The UN Forces (MUNOSCO) have contributed to perpetuating ADF and other rebel groups in the Eastern Congo. Some of the officers have cooperated with rebels to deal in illegal trade of minerals like gold and timber for almost 20 years now. The second major reason - the DRC government has no effective control over their territory. Even the Congolese army is more of a militia with several factions with loyalty to different leaders. These groups and army officers benefit from the illegal mineral trade.

    The art sprang from cultures that had, among other things, a looser sense than Islam or Christianity of the boundaries between our world and the next, as well as those between the world of humans and the world of beasts. Among the Bolia people of the Congo, for example, a king was chosen by a council of elders; by ancestors, who appeared to him in a dream; and finally by wild animals, who signaled their assent by roaring during a night when the royal candidate was left at a particular spot in the rain forest. Perhaps it was the fluidity of these boundaries that granted central Africa's artists a freedom those in Europe had not yet discovered. ”

    Normally when I watch a video like this from white folk I expect to leave a dislike or most probably unsubscribe, because the content creator feels that african countries were better off when the colonials were still in power (Apparently getting rich off the backs of slaves is how countries should be run). But I'm thankful that you've been respectful to these regions, I'm born and raised in Zambia, by Congolese parents, but we worry more about the Rwandese rebels, since being from the southern province of Katanga, the mining setup there is very lucrative. Happy still to see that you've shared some interesting points here, never knew there was more than one rebel group. I share the same sentiment, I also believe they use the political/religious motivators to fuel their own existence, not really to topple any government/establishment. They only want to exist, gone too far down the road they have. Pisses me off though, that we fight so much in Africa, especially in the west and sub-Saharan Africa regions. But for now, all we can hope is that the next generations can embrace a more nationalistic mentality and hopefully this slows down all this pointless infighting.

      They weren’t buried for being Female, well yea but that is not the reason. These tribes that buried their young were weak ones, and feared that the stronger tribes would humiliate them through kidnapping/enslaving their young.
      Thus the verse of the merciful:
      "واذا المؤدةُ سؤلت باي ذنبٍ قُتِلت"
      “And the day the buried one shall be asked, for what crime was she killed?”
      Also other times they would kill their children because they were poor, which isn’t very different from you and the reasons that you carry out “abortions” on your young.
      for which Allāh, praised and exalted revealed:
      "ولا تقتلوا اولادكم خشيةَ املاقٍ نحنُ نرزقهم واياكم، انّا قتلهم كانَ خطأً كبيرا"
      “And kill not your children, fearing of proverty, we will shall provide for them, and beware doing so! indeed to kill them is a great sin”
      So on the Day of Judgement the modern day westerners and the pagan Arabs will be judged together regarding what they did on their young.
      While for polytheism, Yazidis aren’t really polytheists. When I use polytheist I translate Arabic مشرك Mushrik, which means an associator, one who associates false gods with God.
      But the Yazidis do not even believe in God, they are Satanists.
