The Congo Needs Help


The United Nations should help the Democratic Republic of the Congo civilians so there isn’t a repeat of the incident in Rwanda, and so many innocent lives won’t be lost.
If the United Nations doesn’t stop the terror in the Congo, no one else will. These violent actions are soon to become another war like the one in Rwanda. The rebels need to be stopped immediately. Not even the Congolese Army can be trusted to protect the Congo’s civilians. When supported logistically by the U.N., the Congolese Army managed to kill many civilians, with the U.N.’s help! The U.N. was tricked into believing that the civilians’ safety can be achieved simply by the Congolese Army. Now that that option is no longer, the U.N. must take a stronger stand, and help the Congo’s civilians themselves. This means, of course, sending in U.N. troops.
The Congolese people don’t have the finances or resources to protect themselves. They need the U.N.’s support, training, resources, and protection, until they can manage to shield themselves from the rebels. Many innocent civilians of the Congo are dying each and every day, because they don’t have the necessities to care for themselves. With the U.N.’s training they could become a force to stop the rebels. With the U.N.’s resources and protection, they could prepare themselves, through training, to fight off the rebels. All they need is help, and if the world can’t take responsibility to support and protect innocent people, then many will suffer the unfair consequences.
