i think what you see now is monusco will join joint operations with the government again. message does matter, but the underlying approach is that there is a military use of force against the adf. in my experience, that has not been effective in reducing the ability of the adf. after offenses against the adf, there is an increase in attacks on civilians and kidnappings. one of the message that needs to happen is that there is not a military solution. there will be more military operations against this group. >> while we talk about the peacekeeping efforts by the u.n. and the protection of civilians, military operations by the congolese, the drc army, is there any opportunity to find someone on the side of the adf to talk to? earlier in the week when we spoke to correspondents in the field, they said the adf has been going on for such a long time, they may have themselves forgotten what they are fighting for. >> it is a really interesting point about the adf. they are one of the most secretive and difficult to contact groups. when i was living there we had lines of communic
