VIOLENCES CONTINUELLES A L’EST DE LA RDC
by Chantal Machozi... | November 1, 2012 at 6:59 AM | English translation available
Ici à l’Est de la République Démocratique du Congo, précisément dans la plaine de la Ruzizi il y a un garçon de 30 ans qui a violé une vielle femme de 80 ans ; elle était dans son champ de manioc.
Après avoir terminé il a pris un bateau et l’a enfoncé dans la partie génitale de la femme puis a succombée après quelques secondes. Les soldats Hutus Rwandais ont violés 5 femmes à Shabunda, elles se dirigeaient aux champs. Tout ça c’est à cause de la guerre en plus les troupes étrangères qui ne veulent pas rentrer chez eux, on se demande si ceux qui les ont amenés ici ne peuvent pas le faire rentrer chez eux.
Partout au monde c’est à l’Est de la RDC qu’on trouve un milieu de femmes violées précisément à PANZI / BUKAVu . Je me demande quand est ce que ça va se terminer or une femme congolaise est capable de se débrouiller s’il y a la paix. Nous demandons la paix rien que la paix !
Elle peut cultiver son champ, faire le commerce par tous les moyens. Nous demandons à notre communauté de WORLD PULSE de faire quelque chose pour trouver la solution de cette guerre que ne veut pas se terminer. Nous vous supplions mes chères amies !!!!
Merci beaucoup.

ONGOING VIOLENCE
Here in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, particularly in the Ruzizi plain there is a 30 years old boy who raped an 80 years old woman, she was in her cassava farm.
After finishing he took a stick and drove into the genital part of the woman who gave up after some seconds. Rwandan Hutu soldiers have raped five women at Shabunda, they were heading to the farms.
All these, is because of the war and because of the foreign troops who do not want to go back to their home.
We now wonder whether those who brought them here cannot make them go back to their home.
In the whole world is in Eastern DRC that they found an environment to rape women, specifically in PANZI / Bukavu. I wonder when this is going to end because a Congolese woman is able to meet up if there is peace.
We are asking for peace, nothing but peace!
She can cultivate her field, do business by all means. We ask our community WORLD PULSE to do something so as to find the solution of this war which doesn’t want to end. We are begging you my dear friends!!
Thank you very much.

Violences en RDC
Chantal,
Je peux t'assurer que la communaute internationale est mobilisee pour trouver une solution a la situation en RDC.
Nous savons que c'est un desastre humanitaire.
Ne vous decouragez pas malgre les circonstances, croyons ensemble pour une situation imminente a vos souffrances.
Conseillez aux femmes de ne se deplacer qu'accompagner d'un ou deux hommes pour des mesures de securite. La situation reclame de nouvelles dispositions dans la vie de tous les jours.
Courage, il y a une fin a tout.

Dearest Chantal
Dearest Chantal,
My heart aches for the women you describe and the gross injustices and cruelty to which they are subjected.
Chantal, first, thank you for reaching out and sharing this crucial information.
Next: What would solution would you suggest as a first step toward improving the intolerable treatment of women in the DRC?
If you can give this some thought, too, and then share it, you will have taken yet another step toward supporting a better life for your sisters in the DRC. Everything good begins with one voice, and that one voice can be yours. You have already begun, by telling the story in this on-line community.
I send you strength and courage, and I applaud you for stepping up and speaking out.
With Respect,
- Sarah
