Support Your Goverment Forces

In the villages for miles around

it was the same

from ten to seventy

gang raped, torn apart inside

even the children.

 

The poster shows

a smiling soldier,

defender of the land,

a child rapist too.

 

the words on the poster read.

 

Support Your Goverment Forces.

No prob Isobel, from my point of view pieces like this should be out in the public domain, it is I think importent to get occurances like this, which is by the way very common in the DRC out in the open, so people can have a idea of what is going on.

again Isobel, no probs.

Sorry Bernie - I could never like anything like this. I know it goes on but it isn't something I want to read about poetically - just too painful. I guess I shouldn't have commented. Will just go and now bury my head in the sand....

Cynthia, the words on the poster read "Support Your Goverment Forces" they were written in French but that is the translation I got from my Congolese Friends.
