  • The desire for power + greed + drugs + evil = what's going on over there. I feel so sick for the women over there who have to watch their son's die and daughters raped. It makes me sick.

  • The war will only end after one side wins or they give up or quit fighting. In those photos; all the civilians were woman and young boys. When those boys get old enough, they will carry a rifle and continue on the fight. Those women will continue to make more soldiers.

    It would be best for the UN to pull out and let the war be won instead of indefinitely keep it going. Job security or justification of their mission or existence? That war isn't going to end soon.

  • Can you imagine some people mad a song to this ''bump and grind in the congo line". How nasty can one people be to disrespect a situation that affect humanity.

  • @OPOCHKA agreed

  • That is a hard 6: 21 to look at !!!

  • Africa is a continent with on it about 53 countries, not a country as you suggested. Europe had similar experiences with countries, ethnies that tragically cost deaths of people: other rich corporations from powerful always benefit from this: sale of weapons, invasion of sovereign countries (by intelligence or military strategy or simply by punishment to a system, a leader, a people): Germany vs. Iraq vs. Kuwait vs. DR Congo etc. Where is the UN in all this?

  • viva the white people, Americano-european in Congo where they can kill and take all that belong to them, vive white European- English

  • O'Reilly ....good job, but your slideshow's tale cites the "Tutsi-Rwandan" Government and Laurent Kunda (Rwandan or Congolese?), the undiscipline Congo's military, but you did NOT talked about the real "commanders-in-chief" of this war; the deadliest since the WW2. He won't say a word about Presidents Kagame (Rwanda) and Kabila (DR Congo) = the two Big "Loosers" who let down their people in this regional conflict.

  • why do black people go tru alot...africa is the most fucked up country after iraq

  • Counting bodies is a grim occupation indeed.

  • I think you need to read a Bible and eat your words.
