reigns in Congo the deadliest conflict since the Second World War, with nearly four million deaths. Since the arrival of Hutu (people psychologically destroyed by the genocide of Rwanda) in the Congolese forest, rape became a weapon of war.
The rebels use rape to terrorize the population of the Democratic Republic of Congo for almost thirteen years and this, in almost ignorant of the rest of the planet. Since the arrival of the Hutu, systematic rape, more cruel than ever, have become too common in African countries. We are talking about an epidemic of rape that affects all the Congolese society.
Proper use of words is important. With words written in history. Misuse of words leads to a false story. The history of the Democratic Republic of Congo is being written with incorrect words: War, rape, etc..
RAPE
In DR Congo, formerly Zaire, atrocities on women are called "rape." But according to the definition of rape: sexual assault involving sexual penetration ..., we note that the actions taken on women surpass this définition.On can not call it "rape" acts committed against women in the Kivu region of Congo.
GENOCIDE
The word genocide has been refused to refer to crimes committed against women of DR Congo.Cela is due to the definition of the word, as "definers" does not match the facts: A genocide is the extermination physical, intentional, systematic and programmed an ethnic, national, religious or racial.Les women are not ethnic group, national, religious or racial. Hence, they are not eligible to be considered "victims of genocide."
What is being committed in the Kivu region in DR Congo is a Femicide: extermination of women.
This word does not exist in dictionaries. This is because what is happening in DR Congo has never existed. There has never been a plan as Machiavellian. It is obvious that the objective of the perpetrators of these crimes is to destroy the reproductive capacity of women. They do not seek to satisfy a pleasure or fantasmes.Et techniques employed for this destruction seem meticulously studied and implemented.
The videos below are part of a documentary directed by Susanne Babila in 2007
they belong to gangs of Hutus fled to Congo in 1994 after the genocide in Rwanda or various militias raiding then to provide weapons, many men who have been or are still violence to women. The victims were treated at the hospital today Panzi Bukavu.Elles suffered repeated rapes and torture, some have been abducted as sex slaves in camps for fighters.
Babies, girls or grandmothers, regardless of age, nothing could stop the fury and sadism of bourreaux.Après have been treated and have benefited from psychological support to hospital, most women dread the moment to return to their village because the abuses and humiliations they have suffered has often occurred before their family or community.
Moreover, the wealth of the Democratic Republic of Congo in minerals - especially gold and coltan casserite very popular in the manufacture of electronic components for computer science and aeronautics - causes permanent illegal trafficking, practiced by uncontrolled groups who blackmail and rape villagers.
In this documentary show three women: Ndamosu M'Buefuh, 70, repeatedly raped, whose husband and five children were murdered; Ntakobajira M'Bisimwa, 30, who was a sex slave in a camp rebels; Noella M'Mburugu, 18, who has undergone three years of sexual abuse and who were kidnapped son.

My Notice
Despite the international community is aware of the plight of the Congo, nothing has changed until today. We continue to hear or read those same horrifying stories. I still mostly without words after hearing a woman say: "They took my body and all my possessions." Such an epidemic of rape that has gone MANY YEARS in our time is unacceptable. After watching this documentary, a multitude of thoughts crossed my mind and despite all the obstacles that we endure daily, I thank the Almighty for being alive.
When you realize there's a lot worse elsewhere you learn to appreciate every moment of his life.
