on page 49 i found an image that was really disturbing. The picture is of a bunch of people eating and near them is some dead bodies. i feel disturbed because the in the image no one pays any attention to the dead bodies as if they were normal.

this article is discussing the actions of the Congo recently and the United Nations reactions. it says that since the end of the war in Rwandan the rise in violence has risen a lot. it also states that the DRC has been at constant war for 15 years.
Is the violence caused in the Congo mirroring the actions of the force publeque?
How is the U.N. acting on these actions?

This article discusses the truth of the apparent suicide of a man in the DRC that threw stones at the current leader of the DRC. the article says the "suicide"
 is suspicious because pillows are not in the prison that the man was kept in.
is this leader acting like past leaders of the Congo?
why was this man a political threat if he was killed?
