It's painful to learn this but we must know this story of our country. I always ask this question to myself saying:"tha sciences in which we have degrees and diplomas teach us to develop the human sens in our lives that will develop in our personality honestity, rightousness, respect of life that will bring heppiness, joy, development and peace in our societies". I am so surprised to see that the politic in congo is held by people who have got doctorats,degrees and diplomas, but things that are happening there make me to cry every day until i don't wish even to listen or watch news for the country. That's why my prayer is that God gives to these criminels who are leading that country the spirit of recognition to read what they have already done and the consequences so that they consider they power like an obligation and or a service to organise the good life of they broithers and sisters.

I'm an avid news watcher and have seen nothing about this-I noticed some of the other commenters haven't either. I'm glad your getting the word out about what is desperately needed. How horrible!

Okay, weird: last night I had nightmares all night as well. I was back in Arizona at my old elementary school (in my dream), and I knew of a secret hideaway to get away from "Them," who were after all of us. I knew They were trying to kill everyone, and my whole night terror was about looking for places to escape to. It was horrible. I wanted to go to the secret hideaway that only me and my best friend knew about, but suddenly many others knew about it as well, so I knew it wouldn't be safe. It just went on and on, but I thankfully woke up before They arrived and started killing us all.

I haven't heard anything about this. I, of course, don't watch TV and rarely read the paper (shame on me!)...anyway, read this last night before bed then had horrible nightmares of massive persecution happening in America of Christians - it was horrible - we were not safe anywhere. So I woke up with such strong empathy for these people and prayed hard for them. My horror ended when I woke up, but there's continues. Thanks for the post. WOW!

It is interesting, Jane, that you haven't seen anything mentioned on the news about this, and it does seem so far removed from us, with all of our own problems. I struggle all the time with being overwhelmed by a crisis like the one in the DR Congo, and balancing that with my own world and my own issues to take care of. I will be paralyzed with grief and unable to even function if I think about it too much! So I have to carry on with my own life, yet at the same time, allow for some of the grief to drive me to action in some way, at the very least, in prayer. Which is truly not "least" at all. <b>Woody</b>, thanks for leaving your link, I did visit your site on the Congo and love what you're doing. God bless you greatly in your efforts at the most practical levels--you're buying student desks, mosquito nets, etc...and it looks like you're either there or traveling there occasionally with your ministry. Awesome. Sarah, Becky, Jane, thank you for taking the time to read this.

Innocent Congolese are continually caught between fighting rebel groups and sometimes their government soldiers. Loving God, please have mercy on the Congolese people.

We are so far removed from such crisis- thank you for telling us so that we can join you in prayer.
