This video is part 1 and is to bring forth a war and crisis that is not being covered by the media as extensively as it should. The video is to focus on Canada and it's mining operations within the DR Congo and how the war is affecting the people of the DR Congo. With over 5 million dead and millions more unaccounted for, this war is one of the worst in history. The people are being enslaved, tortured, and killed for the countries resources. The number one weapon of this war is rape, as tens of thousands of women are being raped systematically. Canada and other western countries have purposely destabilized the DR Congo for the sole purpose of acquiring the countries resources for the cheapest cost possible.
Please refer this video to your friends and write your government official.
This video is not all the information as it is a focus on Canada, Canadian Mining, and how it has affected the people of the DR Congo. There is much more information available that is not being used to inform the public. We need to stop this as it is continuing to escalate to a crisis unimaginable.
If I had more time and funding I would put together a full length documentary exploring this issue in much more detail.

Thank you and please refer this to your friends.

  • @gjc82071 wow -

  • I can't believe the situation in the DRC hasn't got more media coverage. It's been called "Africa's World War", "The Great War of Africa", etc. Over 5 Million dead! In human lives it is the most costly war since WW2. Most people are totally unaware of what is going on. If not for this war, & with competent leadership & government & with financial investment; due to it's size, population & resources, I believe if given the chance the DRC could be 1 of the great nations of the world. So Sad.
