The Democratic Republic of Congo, or as it has been called by the United Nations “the rape capital of the world”, has had problems since 1994. The M23 armed group has committed dozens of war crimes including rape, executions of citizens and forced recruitment of children. Women and girls were left with burned flesh, broken bones and even missing limbs. Even some perpetrators shot and stabbed these women in the vagina with shards of glass, rifles and other objects. The violence in the DRC is unspeakable, many of the survivors have suffered devastating damage to their reproductive organs. Men were held at gunpoint and forced to rape their wives, mothers, sisters and even their daughters. Throughout the affair, the DRC government has allowed many of the perpetrators of these war crimes to reach neighboring countries, which serve as havens. In turn these people were not charged with these crimes. The Congolese army and government are largely responsible for the violence and atrocities that occur in the country. When they signed the M23 treaty, they had to keep the promises they made to the integrated soldiers. Their government's weaknesses undermine attempts to prevent atrocities and protect civilians. With these problems affecting the population every day, you need to start getting help from other countries to correct your state and help your population. The Congolese army and government are largely responsible for the violence and atrocities that occur in the country because they needed to keep the promises made to the integrated soldiers, the weakness of their government ruins attempts to prevent atrocities and protect civilians , and they need enough lit......middle of paper......herpetrators. This kind of weakness in their government is what ruins attempts to prevent atrocities and protect civilians. With all this to fix on their plate, they need to start receiving help from other countries and providing help to heal the state they have fallen into and help its people. Because they mistreated the M23 rebels and did not keep the promises made in the peace treaty, they forced them to rebel again and intern their people. With an ailing army and government, they are useless in stopping the rebels. The Congolese government needs help from neighboring countries to solve some of their hoarding problems. They must begin to assist groups that help their civilians face violence and to hold perpetrators responsible for atrocious acts against the population.
