    Top Five Reasons Why Congo Still Matters

    #4 is only partially right.  This war is as much about identity - and more about land tenure rights and citizenship questions - than it is about the minerals.  Ending the mineral trade or establishing some kind of certification process won't end the violence, as much as we want to believe it will.  The only thing that will work is re-establishing governance (including the security system and the criminal justice system) and addressing root causes about identity, citizenship, and land rights.
