Femicide and Rape in the Congo; Does The World Care.
I was at home the other day, cold as it always is on the Slopes of Aberdare, i find refuge on a couch and watch lots of Satelite TV. Now free view TV is utter crap but when swelling hope inside your head swells to suicidal levels you got to seek refuge in anynything.
So i was watching DRC chanell called Shonote TV it was in French and pretty Strange Swahili. he documentary sought to espouse the unabated. Now femicide is the sytematic extermination of the female species from a poulation and what happens in the Eastern Congo is no different. Unlike Kinshasha and Lumbunashi arguably the two most synonymous cities in DRC, the Eastern Congo is a water shed of gross human rights vilations, the only rules governing this place are the rules of the jungle, a state of nature exists which is rather obtuse, for in the natural order of things the male always protect the fair sex. Not so in Congo, conservative estimates have it that since conflict began in the late 1990s over 500,000 women have been raped, mimed or killed
The rather appalling question is why does the international communitty UNFPA, Big Brother Sam America and others keep quite while Africa loses her mother? Why does'nt NATO do something? is Gaddaffi any worse than the gruesome LRA, RDC or myriads of other rebel groups in the Congo?
We might find an answer?
