Yes, because they're all the same bunch down there, right? No regional or cultural differences in a region that consists of 40-some national states, covers an area comparable to that of Canada and has a population of almost 700 million.
On a more serious note:
While there are some similarities to the conflicts, there are at least as many differences.
Besides, this thread was about Sharia law being introduced in parts of Somalia. I have a hard time seeing that happening in DR Congo, as less than 10% of the population there is muslim.
