No words can completely describe my feelings on what is happening in Congo. Women cannot trust a single man, not their brothers or even their husbands. The one man they can trust is a doctor who helps them to deal with the trauma of it all. Personally, as im sure many feel the same, no woman or child should ever have to deal with rape and sexual assualt of any kind. Itd be terrifying, and i feel as though you would live with it for the rest of your life. As for the child soliders....it sickens me. Many of them are their against their will and forced to become these..monsters. Just the thought of children who are 9 and up carrying guns, it saddens me. And little children who are too young to handle guns are forced to have their lives taken from them. ....i honestly cant handle it.
as for hope for the congo?
i wish i could say there was, but after many attempts to make peace with kony, and his efforts to avoid the meetings for 23 years, i just cant see it. The conflict between the people seems to have been stuck, only to continue. I would love to see the congo reach some sort of peace within my lifetime.
