Am I the only one who sees this?

It's been seven months since I left the DR Congo, and I am still and increasingly pleased about that decision. I wish I could propose a solution to the problems they are causing themselves, but it boggles the mind for a myriad of reasons. Now look at the most recent stuff:

Bemba is going to Portugal

See an article on the BBC web site: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6502719.stm
"Mr Bemba is planning to leave on Saturday to go to Portugal where he has been receiving medical treatment for a broken leg," Dumisani Kumalo told the BBC.

Assuming Kumalo, South Africa's Permanent Representative to the UN, has mastered the English language, his statement implies that Bemba has already been to Portugal for treatment. Also, interestingly, the press has said absolutely nothing leading up to this that Bemba ever had a broken leg.
"...there is speculation the trip may be used as a diplomatic manoeuvre to ease tension."

Let's see. Bemba's support is in western DRC, including the capital. Not far to the south lies Angola, who constantly denies they are going to invade the DRC. And Portugal is the former colonizer of Angola, and maintains very close ties to them and their economy out of self interest, of course...

What common interest would Bemba, Portugal and Angola share...? In investing, they say past performance is not an indicator of what's to come, but in human behavior, I'd say it's pretty indicative.
