The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

There's a new major war in the making in the DRC, and the West is ultimately to blame for it due to its complacency towards its ally, Rwanda. It's unacceptable that evidence of Rwandan support for ethnic Tutsi insurgencies has been played down for so long. Time is running short to prevent even worse consequences.

Guardian

Pro-establishment narrative

It's nonsense to point fingers at the West when the Congolese president, Félix Tshisekedi, is the one refusing to engage in peace talks with the M23 rebels and de-escalate tensions. The ongoing crisis in eastern DRC can be resolved only if he gets serious about the peace process.
