Strife in the Congo

I was reading about the atrocities in the Congo where rape is the Weapon of Mass Destruction and is the weapon used to destroy the women there, their families and whole communities. We all know by now that countries where women are second class citizens are countries that are rootless – children get trained in war not civic studies or history. Meanwhile the war against women in the Congo continues unabated.

I met a man today from the Congo who had moved to Boston three years ago. I asked him how things were in his village at home and he said, “You see me here in Boston.”

I wished his country good luck because they need that or someone needs to go in there and arm these women with machine guns.
