This has to be one of the most horrific things I have ever read. Africa is descending into a form of savagery that is unfathomable: http://www.boston.com/news/world/africa/articles/2007/10/07/savage_rapes_worsen_trauma_of_congo_war_despite_un_presence/, or go here for the same story: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/07/world/africa/07congo.html?_r=1&oref=slogin. I've asked this previously in blogging about Darfur: How can we as a planet call ourselves civilized when things like this are occurring? I can't even blame this on the U.N., which actually has 17,000 troops on the ground in the Congo.
What an awful situation...............
