First, it is a true warning due to the fact that a war has no eyes. Second, it creates and inflicts fear, and if possible, acts as a drive to encourage peace talks. To me, this is but an olive branch to new forces coming into the big picture to pick and tell Kinshasa to talk under certain favourable conditions for you. Third, it alienates and intimidates your enemy so that you can easily take him down. Fourth, it asserts your authority and the zeal of seeing to it that what you want is achieved by all means. Generally, what you did is a PR strategy that your enemy has always embarked on.
Sina tabia ya kuzuia watu kufikiri hata kama wanavyofikiri vinaweza kuwa kero. Hata hivyo, ukitaka kuepuka kero duniani, jifanye kama haupo wala huna thamani kuliko wengine.
