When the Congo is mentioned in the mainstream media, it is usually about the rapes. But not much is written about the negative effects Western countries are having in the Congo. I live in the United States, so I benefit from the the exploitation of natural resources, as well as the sale of weapons in countries all over the Third World. This is an uncomfortable issue that many people (including those on the political left) don’t want to discuss.

Hey!

Just to let you know that one of our main features in the McClung’s spring issue was all about the situation in Congo and how rape is being used as a weapon of war. We are uploading all our articles to our site (www.mcclungs.ca) so it should be up soon! If you have a chance, e-mail us at mcclungs@ryerson.ca and we can mail you a physical copy or tell you were to pick on up.

What is even more befuddling is that no one wants to talk about the Congo, the place where the most killings and rapes are occurring. Oh wait, I think I know why know one wants to talk about it. The United States, Israel, and Europe benefit from the diamonds and other natural resources of that country; they have no problem with the slave labor used to extract these natural resources. They also make money off of selling weapons to the opposing sides of the wars of the Congo.
