Quotations
“[S]ince 1996, the DRC has been tormented by a hellish cycle of armed conflict concentrated largely in the country’s eastern provinces. . . These conflicts have been accompanied by grave human rights violations—victimizing women and children.” (The World of Parliaments, April 2009; photo blog.trustafrica)
