I have been in the DRC for nearly one month. The violence at which we have come to aim CPT is many-birthed and multi-fed. It continues to dominate this equatorial space at the will of multiple actors.

Five million people have died from guns and structures that feed, house and heal humanity in most places around the globe, but here fall short, so, by the thousands, human beings die. Rapes are unnumbered and usually untold. As a tool of war they destroy the fabric of society and psyches are broken with but rare chances to heal.
