A history lesson for the uninformed. I never knew Congo was so big, with atrocities to match the size. It seems the whole world is fiddling while the desperate are burning.

As usual, the world shows little concern for any crisis in an African country. The DRC has been subjected to violence from without and from with. This, to a great extent, is a direct legacy of the Belgian rule. Read “The Ghost of Leopold”. Great book for incite into this.

"King Leopold's Ghost" is the title if anyone wants to read. I also highly recommend it.
