FORGOTTEN : DRC’S DISPLACED MILLIONS!

The world has turned a blind eye to their plight. An astonishing 7 Million Congolese are internally displaced amid genocidal violence in the country’s east. On top of the humanitarian crisis and conflict, some of the women also told us about abuse and rape. One reason for the Western media’s silence could be that wealthy countries depend on destabilising the Congo. While M23 rebels wreak deadly havoc, the priority will not be improving the dangerous working conditions and minuscule wages of miners, many of them children, digging up the minerals on which today’s modern technology so vitally depends. Western multinationals lord over DRC’s wealth while its people suffer in poverty. Helping out the needy would mean eventually having to pay fair prices for Congolese goods, hence they don’t.
