The Elombe Brath Global Africa Series
First Forum: Why is the DR Congo Genocide Being Ignored?
Speaker: Yaa-Lengi Ngemi
● Over 7 million people have been killed in the most
heinous imaginable ways: cremated, buried alive,
decapitated, slaughtered in masses.
● Hundreds of thousands of women and young girls
have been gang-raped and mutilated.
● Hundreds of thousands have been tortured.
● Millions have been displaced.
On October 1, 2010, the UN finally released the so-called
“Mapping Report, 1993 – 2003” on the Democratic
Republic of Congo, which documented most serious
violations of human rights and international humanitarian
law perpetrated by Rwanda in the DRC genocide.
What is the significance of this report? What is the significance of the many NGO’s reports
documenting the fact that the president of the Congo has been assassinating Congolese
civilian and military leaders as well as civilians in Kinshasa?
And, why the world’s SILENCE?
About the speaker: Yaa-Lengi Ngemi is the President of the New York-based Coalition
for Peace, Justice, and Democracy in Congo-Zaire and author of the book Genocide in the
Congo-Zaire.
