Children of Congo: From War to Witches, ORPER part 2 of 11

http://www.danballuff.com

Over five million people have died during the past decade as a result of the war in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Few people are aware of the unimaginable scale of human suffering, death, and destruction that has occurred in this vast country deep in the heart of Africa. In the aftermath of this brutal war, children have endured the brunt of the suffering. This 67 minute film documents the plight of thousands of street children living in Kinshasa and confirms the wide-spread accusations of child witchcraft, torture and child prostitution. The film also examines the efforts to reintegrate demobilized child soldiers, displaced refugees, and orphaned children following the eruption of the massive Nyiragongo volcano, near the city of Goma in Eastern Congo. These heroic efforts are finally bringing some measure of hope and stability to the lives of the Congolese people.
Dan Balluff's "Children of Congo: From War to Witches" is a must see film, showing individuals and organizations that are implementing positive change for the children and the people of the Democtatic Republic of Congo. (Pan African Arts Culture Film Festival, Oct. 2008).

@babyfaceoOoOo2 babies grow up, nigglets turn into niggers.

@agent2ooo is that a fact? well please also remember that before europeans ever got into the pictures, Arabs were there first, enslaving, and also before that africans were enslaving other africans and still are to this very day, gimme a break man.

@agent2ooo i dont know what your talking about but i googled those and their crime rates are far and above any white or asian nation, and i mean FAR AND ABOVE, so perhaps in comparison to congo or something they might be relatively low but gimme a break.

@GiggleHz For your information there are some successful black countries, look at Barbados, Bahamas and many other island territories in the Caribbean like Bermuda, Cayman islands etc. The ones that are independant are doing very good by themselves. By saying blacks are hopeless and helpless makes u ignorant because educated and smart ppl know thats not true.

@GiggleHz please remember that the Europeans first went to Africa not to help but conquer and exploit. Look at Rwanda, before the Europeans invaded, the ppl were doing alright then the Belgian seperated the light skinned and dark skinned into Hutu and Tutsi which lead to discrimination, suspicion and then finally war. Alot of Africa' s problems stemmed from European colonisation.

@GiggleHz even if it may be true have just a little descency regarding the beginning of you comment. what the hell do you mean you love the fact that children are starving, being abused and forced into prostitution. or as you stupidly put it, 'this s@"t that is supposed to make us feel sorry for them.

@gianini10 and it is the truest too, there are countless points of evidence to support it, read Race Evolution Behavior theres a pdf of it on w w w DOT charlesdarwinresearch DOT o r g

[gianini10]

@GiggleHz That is honestly one of the most ignorant shit i have ever read

[GiggleHz]

blacks are hopeless helpless and hilarious, i love all this shit that supposed to make us feel sorry for them, even if we swooped in built a marvelous modern city, furnished it with electricity, and all the modern conveniences trained all the blacks and got them jobs, a few years after whites leave it would turn right back into a shit hole rofl, just look at rhodesia, zimbabwe, and now S.A. they simply are not smart enough, it is just their lot nothing can be done.
