Hundreds of women were raped and burned alive during the chaos after a Rwandan-backed rebel group entered the Congolese city of Goma last week.
The female inmates were attacked in their wing inside Goma’s Munzenze prison during a mass jailbreak, according to a senior UN official.
The deputy head of the UN peacekeeping force based in Goma, Vivian van de Perre, said that while several thousand men managed to escape from the prison, the area reserved for women was set on fire.
Images taken shortly after Rwandan-backed M23 rebels reached the centre of Goma reveal vast plumes of black smoke rising from the prison on the morning of 27 January.
why is it so hard to understand that this was always the end goal for both trump and harris; the only difference is that trump says it out loud where as harris hopes that you don’t notice.
history has proven that capitalist empires will always displace natives of any region it has dominance as evidenced by the native american; canada’s first nations; australia’s aboriginals; south africa’s apartheid; the sikes-picot agreement; etc.
the only way you can truly give a shit for all marginalized communites everywhere; especially the palestinians; is to stop supporting the people who are genociding and displacing them. until then, you’re merely helping perpetuate this cycle of misery while patting yourself in the back because harris didn’t outright say it.
