"When Rachel was 2 years old, armed men came to her village, which is 50km from Bunia, DRC. She, her sister, and her mother were attacked. Her mother was killed, and her sister had her arm cut off. Rachel now has a scar from the man who slashed her face with a machete. These pictures were taken when she was 5 and living in the Kigonze Refugee Camp in 2021. The article says she does her best not to cry when other children in the camp make fun of her scars. 💔"
"At the time of the article, UNICEF stated there were 3 MILLION children displaced across the DRC. They have no access to education and face an increased risk of rape and exploitation. They are also at risk of falling prey to drug use and being recruited into armed groups."
#FreeDRC #CongoIsBleeding #SaveCongo
The article OP references:
Horrific... absolutely horrific what keeps happening to these children -at TWO only two years old. Keep talking about Congo.

(this article was published on Nov. 3, 2023. I highly recommend reading the whole thing to get a good overview of conflict in the DRC as of that date.)
Almost seven million people have been internally displaced in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) — the highest number on record— amid an escalation of fighting in a war that has been ongoing for two decades.  The country’s eastern provinces have been the worst-affected following a resurgence of attacks by the M23 rebel militia, internationally acknowledged to be a proxy force backed by neighboring Rwanda, in 2021. The DRC currently also has over 100 armed groups operating within its territory. 
In Masisi for instance, there has been a “worrying increase” in the cases of severe acute malnutrition, according to Doctors Without Borders (MSF). Reduced trade amid the ongoing conflict has also led to a major increase in food prices, with the cost of cassava flour rising by four times.  The ongoing fighting has also had a severe impact on the health and disease response, with the DRC reporting the highest number of suspected cholera cases and deaths in West and Central Africa region. The country alone accounts for almost 80% of disease transmissions and approximately 60% of all deaths, as per a report released by UNICEF last month. The provinces of North and South Kivu alone accounted for 80% of all cases in the country and 33% of all deaths. 
The current mandate of the EACRF is set to expire on December 8. Meanwhile, the DRC has also called for a removal of the UN peacekeeping force, MONUSCO, whose current mandate will expire on December 20, around the same time as the country is set to hold its elections.  The Congolese government has indicated that it wants the EACRF to withdraw from the country after its current mandate expires. On November 1, government spokesperson Patrick Muyaya said, “some Congolese are now questioning why we even asked to join the EAC […] When we joined the EAC, it was to connect our country with the region. The regional bloc was committed to peacebuilding but unfortunately, we have little progress.”
