Joel has me so worried about his safety.

He's going over to Africa to the Congo region and I'm afraid for him. There is a lot of unrest there and I'm just so worried about him. I won't rest easy till Joel is back with his family.

This latest fighting threatens to once again draw Congo's neighbors directly into the fray in a damaging escalation that would effectively undo a six-year regional and international effort to stabilize the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Great Lakes region.

The immediate crisis should not distract the world from a larger truth: peace in the Congo - and indeed the Great Lakes - requires a comprehensive strategy, robust diplomatic engagement, and a strong and capable peacekeeping force. It also requires the world's sustained attention. Intermittent and inconsistent crisis management must be replaced by a broader effort to deal with the drivers of endemic insecurity and atrocities'.
