Dark of the Sun... or How Congo never really leaves you

Now that I am back in Copenhagen, it is not that Congo jumps to my mind every 2 seconds... Well, I do think about it a lot, but for various reasons (or a Canadian one...). As I was happily cooking in the evening, trying to forget it is freezing cold outside, the danish tv just happened to show Dark of the Sun, an old movie about mercenaries salvaging some precious gems in the Congo. Powerless peacekeepers, mine companies using their influence to fuel a war... Sounds all too familiar? Just change if from the 60s back to some less far away times and it remains the same... (although it is unlikely the MGM would produce a movie about Congo nowadays)
