Hi everyone,
Another depressing but important article in the New York Times by Nicholas Kristof http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/07/opinion/07kristof.html. Hopefully his coverage will raise awareness so that more people will see the need to end the cycle of violence that Congo has been in for over a decade. Intervention is necessary, but it’s not enough – people need to be building productive lives so they don’t fall immediately back into violence as they have done in Congo again and again. The faster WVI can grow, the fewer people will suffer like Jeanne in this article.
