Very good and informative post. But if DRC wants less to do with former colonizer Belgium, why maintaining cooperation accords with Belgium for combat training and equipment? And with the U.S. and Netherlands? DRC might want to work closer with African Union while continuing close cooperation with South Africa and Angola-neighbors rather than colonizers. If outside help is nescessary, continue cooperation with U.N.(although it to needs reforming and re-location to a more neutral country). Also, China has been investing extensively with DRC and on a much more mutual basis than the one-sided "investments" from the West and its corporations, building infrastructure like roads, railroads, schools and universities in exchange for allowing China to extract resources in DRC-they have well developed military and may be more helpful than western colonizers in assisting DRC military development.
At any rate, DRC armed forces will have to get busy right away as the attacks by rebel forces have seen a, as International Red Cross put it "spectacular increase" with over 400,000 civilians displaced since March:
