Eastern Congo
Over 5.4 million dead. Over 2 million displaced. Democratic Republic of the Congo is home to the deadliest conflict since World War II.
The situation in eastern Congo is dire. Government and rebel militias fight to control Congo's mines, which are rich with natural resources. Profits from conflict minerals fund horrific violence. Congo's disorganized military and police do little to stop it. Armed groups, operating without accountability, use rape and murder to intimidate civilians.
Since 1996, over 5.4 million have died from war-related causes. Countless women and children have been raped. Congo’s wars officially ended in 2003, yet violence continues today and more than 2 million people live as refugees. Since killing and raping are daily business, women are paying the price of incompetent leaders to solve the crisis. Joseph Kabila, congolese leader does not what to do! Who will save those women and children!
