It is, as you say, a festive bowl of weird! And yeah, my initial thought was “Are we SURE this isn’t some kind of 419 scam?”

But sitting down and actually reading it, it’s well written, well sourced, and cross referenced with other news sources, accurate.

It’s tough getting ANY kind of news out of the Congo so, for now, I think the source is fine.

If it goes off the rails talking about Trump being chosen by God or rabidly homophobic slurs we’ll have to re-visit that opinion. :)

If anyone is interested on a good book on the topic of the UN and Congo, I highly suggest “No Mercy: A Journey Into the Heart of the Congo” by Redmond O’Hanlon who had previously written about his travels to Borneo and the Amazon.

Be advised, it gets incredibly dark. Everyone involved is lucky they made it back.
