Genocide in The Congo

After the genocide in Rwanda, the Hutu militia came to the Congo and started killing and raping the Congolese population. Some claim that more than 200,000 women, children and babies have been raped. They rape anyone from 6-year-olds to those over 70. Worse, the rapists put hot plastics, wood and bamboo inside the females. They even sometimes shoot bullets into the vagina. Most Americans are totally unaware of the scale of Congolese violence which is a modern Holocaust. It has been reported that up to 4.7 million people might have died--the highest number of fatalities in any conflict since World War II. For more information go to:
