You spent a month looking around, asking friends and friends of friends, asking cousins and cousins of cousins. You did some driving, you charted a small plane. You kept finding contacts that you already had, kept finding commanders and officers with their hands dirty from the two Congo Wars, hands with the blood of reprisal, of the burning of cultural artifacts.
You expect the Movement for the Liberation of Congo (MLC), backed by Uganda, to be replete with children in it's ranks. Same for the Mai Mai militias. But you find the same in the ranks of the government and it's allies.
Those who are new and clean, those who are left to find so far, they are too afraid and too unable to convince. You can't protect them and they don't want to listen to you, it's too risky. Not with all the infighting, paranoia, and violence across the nation.

You might have to rely on what you have, look to new allies outside the nation, or try to play the various local groups off each other.
