Surely, sorting out the problems in Zaire is an African challenge. We strongly oppose any military intervention in Zaire. There is no peace to keep. Our troops are not trained for jungle warfare. Meddling in Africa has already cost us our Airborne Regiment.
Zaire is a sovereign country.
Armed incursion into its territory should only be done for reasons of Canadian or Western national security. Debt-ridden Canada should sacrifice neither blood nor money to meddle in Zaire. We'll get no thanks. Somalia does not thanks us for trying to get Somalians to permit other starving Somalians to receive foreign aid food. Isolationism is the only sane course.
