"Congo in Limbo - Displaced persons camp. "
Bulengo Idp camp, Goma, North-Kivu, DRC, December
2007. In 2007, 437.000 people had to flee their villages because of fighting,
raping, recruitment of children into armed groups and extortions. The last
wave of violence between August and December 2007 in Kivu raises the total
number of displaced persons to 800.000 as a result of the battle between
25,000 men of the FARDC (Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo)
and 4,000 rebels of the general Laurent Nkunda, making it a humanitarian
crisis as important as in Darfur.
