The bodies of two government soldiers were turned into a roadblock by rebels in teh Congo. The road leads from the national capital of Goma. The bodies serve not only as a roadblock, but as a gruesome warning to government troops a few hundred yards down the road as well as civilians. One rebel said of the scene, "The army attacked. This is what happens when the army attacks."

    • The "Developed" nations are funding the corruption... Corporations & business from "developed" nations are using the nations of Africa for their natural resources (drilling, mining, illegal logging, illegal animal trade...)

      Exotic pets or animal parts, tourist souviners, wood objects/furniture, cell phones, DVD players, computers...

      Please take responsibility, demand action to end this corruption!

    • This is part and parcel to the the mind set of all of africa,not just in the congo,from Ghana to Sudan,and from Nigeria to Kenya and Cape town. These people are so full of corruption,and mismanagment,and personal satifaction at the price of others(this is the same mentality that broke out in Watts,La after the Rodny King verdict and the looting of New Orleans after Katrina)Its just the the ingrained mind set.And we can blame the rebels ,but the Goverment solders are not any better. There is wholsale rape frome both sides,thus spreading the AIDS epidemic to where it is now 1 in 3 people in sub sahara Africa. In the end, the entire continent of Africa will emplode on its self, sad considering a land so rich in natural resorces, to have such an inpoverished population.
