Democracy Now interview

On October 27, 2008, Kambale Musavuli was interviewed by Democracy Now about the current conflict in the Congo, often referred to the Forgotten War.

The latest round of fighting in the Congo has seen a dramatic rise in the number of rapes, and some 200,000 people have been displaced since August, according to the World Food Program. Thats in addition to the nearly 1.5 million people already displaced since 2007. Bringing attention to the dire situation in the Congo and the role of Western corporations in fueling the conflict was the focus of Congo Week, an awareness-raising week of events on campuses across the country that concluded Friday.
