Talking to TSI from Kinshasa, Neil Campbell, an expert on DR Congo at the International Crisis Group said: "It is not reasonable to look to the UN to defend civilians, considering the immensity of eastern Congo and the range of militant organisations preying on the people. The UN has been wished-for as the body that's all set to fetch democracy and stabilisation to the country, which is fully idealistic."
