Life is cheap in eastern Congo, one of Africa’s most dangerous areas, where humans are slaughtered like animals, women and girls are systematically raped, and children are commonly executed. The burning of villages, schools and churches a common occurrence. Sixty years since the end of the Second World War and the creation of the United Nations, events in Congo are a reminder that the system of collective security based around the UN is often still unable to save the lives of innocent civilians caught up in armed conflict. Even worse the United Nations itself is facing accusations of complicity in violations of international law.
This is just insanity. It is crazy to think that in America you can get arrested for such little things, yet things like that are happening in Africa. A person's life should be valued more then that.
