premise: The MONUC said blue helmets were tightening patrol around Goma to ensure the situation remained stable and citizens were safe. It was trying its utmost to prevent the flare-up from approaching the city.
  In June 2004, Nkunda, a disgraced Tutsi general of the FARDC, led his soldiers in rebellion against President Joseph Kabila. They kept a week-long occupation of Bukavu, capital of South-Kivu province.
  Since then, the Tutsi general has been under an international warrant for war crimes and crime against humanity committed in Bukavu. His whereabouts has never been officially reported till now. He is thought to be in the North-Kivu province close to the Rwanda border.
   What are the rebels going to do if there is no effort to prevent the flare -up?
hypothesis: ensure the situation remained stable and citizens were safe
