The work “Stop the Horror in Congo” was created based on what happened in Congo in the past and what is still happening in Congo today. Some of the horrific events happening there currently are the military violence, the bombing, rape, people forced to flee their homes, death, and more. If you don’t know what is happening, I encourage you to research more about the issues currently going on and spread awareness.
