Images of DRC

Please take a moment to view the link below. It is a photo essay that documents the current situation in DRC. These images truly help put life into perspective. The DRC is beginning to gain a little press regarding the horrific conditions and war, but it just doesn't seem enough.

I am rereading one of my favorite books - The Poisonwood Bible. It takes place in Congo in the early 60s as the Belgium rule was ending in Congo. One thing that makes me pause as I read this book is how different the situation in Congo looks today - so much worse. These pictures leave me speechless...
