DR Congo Rebels capture strategic base

The UN have 17,000 troops floating around the DRC. The DRC Army has troops. They both agree that the camp of Rumangabo is strategically important. Yet they seem incapable of protecting it. What other strategically important assets will fall to the rebels? A billion dollars spent in the Congo by a dysfunctional UN. Time to tender for a new product.
Forces loyal to rebel leader Laurent Nkunda have taken a major army base in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, UN peacekeepers have confirmed. The UN peacekeeping force Monuc said rebels seized weapons and supplies after overrunning the strategically important camp of Rumangabo overnight.
