Democratic Republic of the Congo - Conflict - The Rape of a Nation

Three soldiers of Gen. Mathieu Ngudjolo, leader of the Mouvement Revolutionnaire Congolais, MRC, stand in the village of Gety, south of Bunia, Ituri province, Democratic Republic of Congo, DRC, in August 2006. The militia leader claimed to control the combined forces of the MRC. The general has since been indicted by the International Criminal Court. The charges include murder, sexual slavery and using children under the age of fifteen as frontline fighters. | Location: Gety, Ituri Province, Democratic Republic of Congo.
