And he's responsible for the park,

so he's got all the power in this park.

His management gave us permission

but he stands in our way.

I think he plays

his political role a little bit,

as a member of the royal family.

I would quite like to be his friend,

but he doesn't want to be my friend.

Did you try?

No. I shook his hand once.

I'd been in Goma three days.

I didn't know anything.

Okay, thanks.

Thanks, see you soon.

I'll keep the car in drive position

in case we have to get out of here fast.

We'll go together with Josue.

Josue, how are you doing?

This is Pieter Wright.

He is my boss.

He is a security advisor with SOCO.

The reason I wanted to see you was to be

able to put a name to your face because...

very soon, we will start

working in that area.

We will contact you regularly.

We will now give you a little something...

Just to say thank you.

It is important that we work together.

So what I want to say with regard to

the difficulties we are facing,

is that if we are strong

and we withstand the situation,

it is because we work as a team.

Please always remember

that you have done a great job.

You have shown your courage

and some of your friends

have died for the rebuilding of the park.

The other thing

I wanted to tell you about is

the confusion which has developed

around the oil issue with SOCO.

And what I want

to tell you is very simple.

We are here to enforce the law.

It is law which allows

peace re-establishment

and country reconstruction.

We are not here

to work for business interests,

be it with regard to oil.

It is about integrity and honesty.

We have to maintain

the respect and discipline

which characterize us.

I'm doing a boy's band.

M23 cover album.

Okay. I'll give the whole pack away, then.

What is that?

What do you want to drink?

A coffee?

Maybe not Heineken again,

it's a bit early.

It's Sunday!

You have Heineken on Sunday?

On Sunday, on Saturday...

The other days I can't drink much

because I'm working.

And at the moment

are you working a lot?

Communication is so much work,

it's tiring.

I am a great notable of Rutshuru.

You have a lot of land there, don't you?

How many hectares?

2,000 hectares, that's it.

And the friends from SOCO

have put marker stones on my land

to mark out the Block 5, their concession.

Some people don't like

SOCO doing its work here.

Minister Vunabandi asked me to calm them.

I did that job.

I've communicated to the population

that it's better to work with SOCO

than work with the park.

You told them that it was better?

Yes, I told the people

better with SOCO than with the park.

If SOCO works with us,

in particular with me...
