Three months of massacres that have left 62 children dead could escalate into wider ethnic cleansing in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the UN has warned.
A total of 250 people have died in targeted killings with government forces and militias made up of children among those being blamed as complicit by international investigators.
The accounts of almost 100 survivors who managed to escape from the Kasai province into neighbouring Angola form the basis of a report published by the UN Human Rights Office.

I thought Congo was getting better. Apparently not, and the government is in on the action.
Some documentaries about business ventures happening there.

In that empire of dust video there is some chinese guy giving the congolese dude a LOAD of shit saying he fucked up the country and he just has to take it coz the chinese guy has all the money, the chinese guy isn't even right, the belgians left the congo with nothing but 15million dead and countless more with their hands chopped off. I was hoping business investment might help there but it will probably just be more of the same exploitation from the last 2 centuries.
Belgium should never have killed Patrice Lumumba, he was really the only hope of keeping the country from turning into this.
The world is falling apart
"Never again" eh, UN?
