A UN Congo mission for the CF? Local realities

Why even bother thinking about it? Further to this post,

UN peackeeping ain't necessarily what we crack it up to be/Update: "Why trade Kandahar for Kinshasa?"

from The Economist (quotes out of sequence):

...Congo’s rulers say they are fed up with being castigated by foreigners and want to be accorded the dignity due to a sovereign country rather than accept the humiliation of what they say amounts to an indefinite international “trusteeship”. So the government says the UN’s peacekeepers should start leaving in June, when the country is to mark the 50th anniversary of its independence from Belgium. All UN troops, says the government, should be gone by the middle of next year, before Congo’s next scheduled elections.

The UN Security Council, which oversees peacekeeping, may bow to some of the government’s demands. The latest plan is to withdraw some 2,000 peacekeepers from about a third of the country’s provinces, including Équateur, by the end of June and to remove the whole lot by August next year—after the hoped-for election. The Security Council is expected to vote next month to extend the peacekeeping mandate for another year, alongside a plan for a speedy exit [emphasis added]...

Huh?

More, with which we would necessarily be associated should we go in any substantial way:

...
In the past four years the UN mission has tried to help improve governance and security. But standards are still abysmal. Congolese soldiers and rebels habitually rape hapless civilians. Corruption is rife, the courts rotten. The UN reckons that 70% of the country’s prisoners, most of them kept in vile conditions, have yet to be tried...

The UN has been training and supporting Congo’s regular forces. It supplies them with food, firepower and transport. The government says its army has improved...

The UN’s senior representatives in Congo would have preferred the withdrawal to have been spread over three years. The French head of a fact-finding delegation due to visit Congo has warned against a “premature” exit. It is questionable whether Congo’s army, which is estimated to number from 130,000 to 155,000, will be able to keep the peace on its own. It is a barely trained amalgam of more than 40 militias. About 60,000 regular soldiers have reached retirement or are close to it but the government has not paid them off. Lobbies such as the Brussels-based International Crisis Group say the government has squandered the help it has been getting from abroad and that the country risks becoming ungovernable all over again...

Lovely, eh? And don't it all sound a lot like why a lot of people decry the Afghan mission?
