Rape of a Nation ~ The Democratic Republic of Congo (audio slideshow)

rape_nation1.jpgAll photos: Marcus Bleasdale / VII

Welcome to my Tuesday and my 200th post. I hope you take a few minutes and check out this slideshow. It is a very informative, full multimedia presentation, from mediastorm.org by Marcus Bleasdale. It contains links to how you can help and much more. I know it can be depressing, all of the violence, death and injustice that’s happening in our world. We cannot continue to close our eyes to the horror and refuse to see what’s going on, in this country, in our world, in life.. in pictures. There are too few nations of the world trying to help, nations need to do more. There are too few groups / organizations trying to help, groups / organizations need to do more. There are too few people trying to help, I.. need to do more…

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is home to the deadliest war in the world today. An estimated 5.4 million people have died since 1998, the largest death toll since the Second World War, according to the International Rescue Committee (IRC).

IRC reports that as many as 45,000 people die each month in the Congo. Most deaths are due to easily preventable and curable conditions, such as malaria, diarrhea, pneumonia, malnutrition, and neonatal problems and are byproducts of a collapsed healthcare system and a devastated economy.”

“The people living in the mining towns of eastern Congo are among the worst off. Militia groups and government forces battle on a daily basis for control of the mineral-rich areas where they can exploit gold, coltan, cassiterite and diamonds.

After successive waves of fighting and ten years of war, there are no hospitals, few roads and limited NGO and UN presence because it is too dangerous to work in many of these regions. The West’s desire for minerals and gems has contributed to a fundamental breakdown in the social structure.”
