Cutting off the Congo Barrier.
Death penalty for lack of weapons.
What to do if the problems in the army are so great that the soldiers have no weapons and therefore run away from the battlefield? Of course, shoot for cowardice!
We do not know who advised the Congolese arch-strategists such an idea, but a military court sentenced 66 soldiers to death for surrendering one of the villages. Their attempts to repel the rebel advance were documented as "wasting ammunition".
The DRC army is becoming more and more hardened in the ranks. If in the past it was possible to lose one's head only as a commander, now an entire platoon is under attack.
It supposedly promotes discipline, although, as it seems to us, it encourages submission and desertion into the jungle - no one knows who will be the next scapegoat.
- where politics is hotter than the equator.
