I sent out the emails! I always feel terrible hearing about atrocities like this, but mostly because they've been going on for years and I rarely hear anything. It's just so mind-boggling that something of this scale can be going on and people ignore it.

I just saw The Greatest Silence: Rape in the Congo a few weeks ago and they had a discussion panel with several graduate students who do studies in the Congo, it's crazy how in the dark everyone is about this situation.

I love you for posting this, more people need to be aware.

It's disgusting and heartbreaking what the Congolese have been through. It's horrible to think that this is allowed to go on and the US and UN haven't really helped any.

Ugh I can't complete a good thought, let me come back to this later :|
