“I don't see this [granting the mandate to combat M23 rebels to a force comprising southern African nations, SADECO] as a stabilising intervention, at most, it will postpone the issue because there is no one military solution. Structural weaknesses in governance, lack of state presence in remote regions and interethnic rivalries, are among causes that the state is failing to address. In the last 30 years, different interventions have been addressing partial symptoms of the problem rather than looking at the full picture - till that is not done, you can only postpone, but not resolve, the issue.”
