Shouts from us Congolese mothers
We are using our voices to cry out to you our loved ones as God has given us an opportunity to talk. Women are suffering a lot here. We are raped everyday and our sisters in the city of Goma are suffering even more. They are destitute and even their household items are being robbed. I have a sister, she lives in Goma, has five children and a husband. They came to her home, she was with two girls; they raped them all and killed her husband. Now she is a widow with 3 children. Beloved brothers and sisters, as mothers who are suffering, we are asking for help. I thank you and I am looking forward to a positive answer from you.

Jambo Sibatu, Kweli una

Jambo Sibatu,

Kweli una sheriya ya kulalamika kabisa. Mambo ambayo anatendeka huko kwenu ni mabaya sana. Uwambie dada yako pole sana, Mungu yiko. Alafu wale watenda mabaya nao siku zawo zinaesabiliwa.
Aksante sana kwa kutu elezea mambo anayo tendeka huko.
Alafu wewe sasa, habari zako? Wandugu wengine wazima?
