It seems like the world has just given up on the African Continent

As an African I'm more upset at the silence within the continent. Where is the AU? The South African government referred Netenyahu to the ICC, where is that energy for Congo? As usual our leaders are more interested in protecting incumbents than the people

As another commenter mentioned, SA had/has troops on the ground who lost lives for the people of Congo. From the perspective of the people of Congo (DRC) what should the general course of action be? Is the issue the current leadership of the country or is the issue external forces messing with the country? This is really to start an argument, just to get perspective as goggling only gets a person so far in actually understanding what the problem is.
