>What is the Game?
The year is 2002, the month is around October. In Pretoria, South Africa five whole days of talking and haggling has resulted in a ceasefire. Rwanda is going to move 20,000 troops out of the DRC, and the international community is going to disarm and investigate the Hutu militia in the east DRC.
Zimbabwe and Angola are pulling out troops too.
So there is going to be a major escalation, but already the nation has been thrown into chaos, the economy is gone, all those involved lost tons of money and lives, and a lot of the proxy forces / locals are basically just local militias at best, and racist bandits at worst.
But it doesn't have to go that way.
>The Proposal So Far
Between Oct 2003 and April 2003, a new transitional government will be formed.
This won't be a terribly effective governement, but it lays out the factions somewhat neatly.
<span class="mu-i">"On April 7, 2003, Joseph Kabila was sworn in as transitional president. And on the next day, the last of the four agreed vice-presidents was named, Azarias Ruberwa for the RCD-G. He joined Abdoulaye Yerodia Ndombasi for Kabila's government; Jean-Pierre Bemba for the MLC; and Arthur Z'ahidi Ngoma for the political opposition."</span>
We will be using a merger of the ISIS Crisis Matrix system, Chit boardgame rules, and Hearts of Darkness (Africa, Congo)
Let's get to the playable factions.
