Oh, so THAT was why NBC had this on the front page - I thought they had screwed up their agendas a bit...
 I don't remember so much of this ep, but anything with the Congo is good in my book  I do remember the scene at the bar/whatever with C/K, Angelique (squee!) and... Charles, was he there? Hmm, loved that scene, especially Angelique's "We get it, we all GET it!"  __________________

Yeah, they put the promo pictures from it on the first page of Photography as well...
Hee, I loved that scene! Carter's "I voted for the other guy" was nice as well. But my favourite has to be the scene where Kem tells Carter she's pregnant. Damn, I need to bust my tape [TAPE!! I love Dee] of it and watch. __________________

Didn't put Wry Smile either, if it's any consulation
Yeah, mine too - and then he annoyed me a little and I couldn't understand why Kem fell for him, but that's another thing. __________________

I don't think they did either.
Aw, but she did get a nice relationship out of him, afterall. __________________

Yup, she did. I always liked the way she came home from work and they had a very normal couple-y discussion before she told him - it made you realize Africa isn't all Mai Mai and wars... BTW, did geo project on an African country. Guess which one I chose, ::cough:: - I almost understand the politics now, but shees!  __________________

Is The Lounge even working still? I haven't been there in ages. The site I miss most, though? ER Daily. All the news, and presented so nicely.
I liked it, too - like you said, it made the Congo seem more normal than the image you get in the media. The politics there... scary to get into, I'd imagine - the little we get hear is more than enough to complicate me. __________________

That they are! Geez, it took a great deal of whining at African names and border regulations and whatnot before I understood what the deal is... Apparently there was a civil war in 1998-2003, and then "peace" and a new war on the way now... Poor souls  I didn't run into any Mai Mai though, so I wonder where TPTB got that from? I think I ran a Google search on the name once, and ending up at some French website for the Liberation of The Congo,. but... __________________

I don't think they made up the Mai Mai, there's deifnitely a rebels group in the Congo... maybe they go by another name as well?

Most rebel groups seem to have names like People' Republic Army or something - Mai Mai could be a local lanuage for the same thing.__________________

Apperntly Mai Mai is the name - "A subsequent report said the battles have been fought between a "unit" of Mai-Mai militia (tribal militia forces) and Congolese troops that were once part of the Congolese Rally for Democracy rebel group." {from here}
