The Spin

Narrative A

The latest ADF attack is a grim reminder that eastern DRC is facing one of the world's most serious, complex, and neglected conflicts. Joint military operations by Ugandan and Congolese forces against the ADF rebels have so far been unable to stop the attacks on civilians, while the Rwandan-backed M23 is also causing more violence. Now is the time for the international community to finally back the Congolese in their fight against the insurgents.

Narrative B

The government in Kinshasa bears the primary responsibility for the latest tragic ADF attack. Instead of imposing a cease-fire with the support of the East African Regional Force to initiate a political process and address the conflict's root causes, the DRC is relying on the military card. The escalating conflict affects not only eastern DRC but also Rwanda and other neighboring countries. Kinshasa has failed, and the local population is paying a terrible price.
