Congo's Forgotten War

Reflection to YouTube Video: The conditions in which these displaced civilians are living in are just horrendous. Women are giving birth in the most unsanitary of conditions, as there is no working toilet. Watching this video made me realize how much clean and sanitary living conditions are taken for granted. The mothers who had to trek miles on downtrodden roads and dangerous forests with 3 or more kids and probably no shoes are the outcomes of the ongoing struggle with rebel groups. Millions displaced and thousands killed- that is what defines the Congolese genocide.
