In the Democratic Republic of Congo, people die everyday. These people are dying physically, emotionally, and mentally. Everyday, soldiers kill families, and those whom they don’t kill are kidnapped. People can also breakdown emotionally because they have lost hope. Many families have died, and like Ferdinand in The Tempest, people know that all they have ever loved is gone. Lastly, people no longer have a choice. You die, become a soldier, or become a slave. People become confined within, because they are scarred to share what they have to say. I know that I will never understand what these people are going through. I want to help, but I don’t know how. What is currently happening in Congo is devastating. The fact that no one has done anything to end it is even more heartbreaking.
