The Democratic Republic of the Congo is entering a moment of hope after suffering from one of the bloodiest conflicts of the last half century. Four million people have died since 1998 and 1.5 million people remain displaced from their homes today.
This video tells the story of the people of South Kivu -- in the east of the Congo. After years of war and crisis, people are returning from exile in Tanzania and trying to rebuild their lives. Refugees International is calling on the US government and the UN to make greater investments in basic services, like education, health care and food security to help people rebuild their communities and restart their lives.

Je n'ai jamais , moi connu l'occcupation ,ni la guerre, ma mère et mes grand-parents, oui!
Mais chacun a droit à son home! Et tout reconstruire, avec la peur du lendemain n'est pas évidente, les guerres devraient cesser, afin que l'humanité puisse vivre en paix et développer bien plus de choses importantes pour tout un chacun! La santé, déjà!

The Berlin Conference and Europe truly destroyed Africa - she is still to recover from the raping of women and resources as well as the psychological effects which ensued!

The government is the same as it was during the 'war': the dictatorship of Joseph Kabila. As long as he is in power, the entire country will suffer.
