Ok so bruns is gone today so we have another work day today. We did some more work on our projects and I started my Blog. Thats about it. These are our two sources so far #1 #2
The issue in congo is, in a nutshell, civil wars. The tribes native to congo are warring and basically they go to each others tribes and murder each other and rape the women. The unrest in Congo's poorest region began as a localized intertribal conflict in a decades-old dispute over fishing rights. Now a poisonous cocktail of local grievances in Equateur bodes ill for Congo as President Joseph Kabila demands that U.N. troops withdraw before the September 2011 presidential election. Along with the tribes warring the eastern border is still dealing with attacks from Rwandan Malitia groups including the Rwandan Hutus who were responsible for the rwandan genocide. The U.N. reports at least 8,300 rapes were committed against women in eastern Congo last year, averaging 160 rapes a week. And in Congo's northeast, the brutal Lord's Resistance Army's more than 20-year insurgency in Uganda has spilled across the border spreading terror. Human rights groups blame the LRA for massacres during which victims were hacked to death with machetes and children were forced to kill other children
