DRC: Child soliders in Katanga Province

Because We're Here has some disturbing photos of captured child soliders that had been operating in Katanga Province in the DRC. “They had been robbing, raping and murdering in Katanga province for months and had displaced over 100,000 people. It had taken months and months for the Congo army to hound the Mai Mai to point where they were willing to surrender to the UN”

    Dear Friend,

    We would like to invite you to our special coverage of Election in Democratic Republic of Congo

    Human Rights Watch has been documenting human rights abuses in Democratic Republic of Congo for number of years. Information can be found at http://www.hrw.org/doc?t=africa&c=congo

    We came across your blog while searching online for blogs covering Congo. We are sending this invitation to a small group of bloggers who we thought might want to use our content to highlight human rights issues concerning people in Congo. Please let us know if you would like us to send updates about our work on a regular basis. We would be glad to add your name to our list. We hope that you will excuse us for sending one unsolicited email.

    Thanking you in advance,
    Lisa Okun (afr_ik2@hrw.org)
