a year agoPray for D.R Congo #congoisbleeding💔🇨🇩
The bleeding of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), its people, and its natural resources didn’t just start in recent months or years, but we can go as far as during the colonization days when Congo was privately owned by King Leopold II of Belgium from 1885 to 1908. Imagine having a whole country as your personal property for that many years. Congo has never recovered or healed from the bleeding that was overseen by Leopold. After taking hold of Congo, “It quickly became a brutal, exploitative regime that relied on forced labor to cultivate and trade rubber, ivory, and minerals.” (BBC News, 2020). The history of Congo, killings, and injustice are very long and still ongoing as I write this. Congolese people everywhere continue to hope, pray, and cry for peace one day and it is time that the world finally listens
Since 1996, the violence in Congo has killed well over 6 million people. Imagine having over 6 million people dead and the world still remains silent. The First and Second Congo Wars were very vicious and its devastation continues to be felt with ongoing influences in the country and conflicts
The world is largely still silent when it comes to the over 6 million Congolese people killed, of whom about half of them were children.

Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow.
