Round Two in the DRC

Well, politically, things are moving in the wrong direction here. In the latest news, the UN Special Envoy (former Nigerian President Obasanjo)has given Nkunda more notoriety and confidence, the North Kivu governor has conceeded to talk to Nkunda, who says he demands only to talk to the President, and fighting has resumed in Masisi territory, as Nkunda expands his little empire. Another "Rumble in the Jungle", and Nhunda is Ali. Confident, arrogant, smaller and more hungry that his rival.

Meanwhile, with a ringside seats, I'd rather just wait until the KO or the tenth round, so we can start mopping up the floor. Right now, I'm on my second 24 hour turnaround for a grant proposal, hopefully concluding in a plane ticket home.
