What role is Africom playing in resolving the horrific ongoing conflict in eastern Congo?
We don’t have a direct role. We are not involved in activities dealing with the insurgents or the rebel groups. That’s for Africans to deal with. We are hopefully doing things to increase their capacity to more effectively deal with those sorts of things. We are working with those nations that we have bilateral relationships with to help them increase their own capacities to control their borders, to increase the effectiveness of their military forces that are there, from command and control, to communications, to equipment, the training things.
