Genocide in Congo, Africa.

The article on the genocide in Congo called "Orphaned, Raped and Ignored" was a very tragic article and hard to bear. The fact of the civil war stated in that article was extremely devastating, and made me grow angry since its an ignored issue, and is too major to ignore. The problems in Congo almost seem unbelievable straight from a horror movie, and hard to take in. The author of the article stated that girls got raped in front of all the children, and those same poor children had to witness and visualize all that disgust, on top of that they had to watch their own parents and loved ones being slaughtered!! This horrific sight must be traumatizing to any sane human being adult, but imagine younger children witnessing such abomination!!! The article stated that the killings were totally random and purposeless, these so called soldiers were killing innocent people for no reason, and therefore these "soldiers" were more barbaric than the most savage animals in the depths of the wild jungle! I agree with the author that this issue filled with so much cruelty cannot be ignored, we must all help out, the death toll will only increase if we don't attempt to resolve this major problem.
