CONFLICT IN THE CONGO

"If Africa is ever going to reach its full potential, resolving the Conflict in the Congo is critical!"

- Barack Obama 


    • The internal conflict in the DRC has been named the worst in the world since WWII by the united nations.
    • In ten years nearly 6 million people have been killed, but the silence continues to spread
    • 80% of the population of the Congo is living below 30 cents per day
    • Nearly 300,000 women have been raped over the conflict
    • Rape is used as an element of war and destruction in the Congo
    • The youngest documented victim of rape was only 2 years old
    • The disease "Fistula" is a very common side-effect of rape in the DRC, and is caused when guns, knives, and sticks are used to traumatize the female organs
