Hope and Depravity in the Congo

2 years ago, many of us were moved by a report of three children working in the copper mines of the Congo. Here is a report from Orla Guerin of the BBC which gave an update on the boys situation. A ray of hope in a very dark place. Yesterday, I received an email directing me to a Radio 4 report from Eastern Congo, an area where many of the forces who committed genocide in Rwanda fled to in 1994. The report is terrible beyond words and the temptation is to gloss over it or even ignore it. I'm posting it here because I think it's important that we're aware of these atrocities taking place across our world. It's good to hear that the Church in the Congo has been in the frontline of providing help.
