Congo: 5.4 Million ( 1996 - 2003)

Most people in the world are not acquainted with the dimensions of human suffering, with the number of casualties in conflicts worldwide.
The numbers of casualties are not just a simple numbers, each one of them has its own story.
Only when you see the number of casualties in a conflict, you can really get an idea of how much certain people have suffered.
People can lie, the stories can be made up, but the numbers never.
They are standing as the monuments of the human suffering and agony.
They remind us that horrible crimes and exterminations of entire nations are still widely happening today.
They remind that the UN system has failed and betrayed so many times, exactly those people who have seen the UN as their only hope and salvation.
How many victims the UN organization does have on its conscience?
Maybe, sometime or somewhere, some of them who survived all these horrors and agony, whose closest were killed, would ask us if we heard or saw or read anything about that, and if we undertook anything in relation to that situation?
Most of us will bow our heads in shame, the same those heads selfishly turned away on the other side, unwilling to see all that suffering, pain and agony, that planetary injustice.
Maybe we will think to ourselves that we already have enough personal problems.
But it will be only an excuse, the act which should supposedly calm down our disturbed conscious.
This short book is a little contribution to the awakening of that consciousness and recognizing the truth.
