  The 1,000 People Who Are Dying Daily In The Democratic Republic Of The Congo
In the June 12th edition of the Christian Science Monitor (csmonitor.com), Andrew Stroehlein, media director of the International Crisis Group (crisisgroup.org), observes that the Western media has displayed a strange silence on the horrible crisis in the Congo which is killing approximately 1,000 people each day. Please permit me to quote one important paragraph, speaking of upcoming elections which will probably be postponed indefinitely, Stroehlein states:

"The deadly game has one particularly poisonous wild card: the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR), a key rebel group in the eastern Congo that regularly attacks civilians. Because the FDLR has its origins in the Hutu extremists who slaughtered 800,000 people in the Rwandan genocide of 1994, Rwanda has a pretext to invade its neighbor,which it has done at least twice in recent years and threatened to do again in April - a move that would undermine Congo's transition and could reignite a regional war."

I felt especially touched reading this account. From 1974 to 1977, I spent three years in the Peace Corps in the Central African Republic just across a river from Zaire as it was called then. For years I have watched the indifference of the West toward the suffering caused by corrupt leadership in Zaire (the Congo).

The people across the river in the Congo are cousins of the people who I grew to love in my time in the CAR, people who are characterized by their deep love of family and friends and their wonderful vitality and sense of humor. I will never forget the laughter I heard in the CAR.

I have decided to devote a significant amount of time and energy to daily prayer for the situation in the Congo until there is a significant improvement.
