http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/africa/10/01/congo.atrocities.un.report/index.html?iref=allsearch-U.N. releases 'heartbreaking' human rights report on Congo
This article talked about crimes against humanity. The articles focused on the report that the United Nations released that documented these crimes and focused also on how these events are affecting women and children. They want to find ways in which to deal with the laws that are being violated "to deal with the legacy of these violations, including truth, justice, reparation and reform." From the article I think that the steps that are being taken to solve these problems are good. I think that by making the violence against these women publicized it will help the country in the future so that the young generation will not be one filled with violence. Ileka Atoko ambassador to the United Nations found the report appalling but that these events were not new. He alone with the Congonese government believe that justice must be taken.

This article talked about a Invisible war that is tearing apart the society. Its talking about the war of rape and destruction against women. I found this really sad because these women and children are no longer safe in their own homes being that there own husbands are the ones who are committing these acts. But what makes these more extreme is that the rapist are violating their victims with the guns and other tools making these brutalities even more shocking. These women have been public traumatized and mutilated and his had drastic physical and mental consequences.
