The Democratic Republic of Congo, or as the UN calls it "the rape capital of the world", has been experiencing problems since almost 1994 The armed group M23 has committed dozens of war crimes, including rapes, executions of citizens and forced recruitment of children. Women and girls are left with burned flesh, broken bones and even missing limbs. Some attackers even shot these women and stabbed them in the vagina with shards of glass, guns and other objects. The violence in the DRC is indescribable, with many survivors suffering devastating damage to their reproductive organs. Men were held at gunpoint and forced to rape their own wives, mothers, sisters and even daughters. Throughout this ordeal, the DRC government has allowed many perpetrators of these war crimes to pass to neighboring countries, which serve as a sanctuary. In return, these people were not charged for these crimes. The Congolese army and government are largely responsible for the violence and atrocities committed in the country. Back when they made the treaty with the M23, they had to keep their promises to the integrated soldiers. Their government's weaknesses are ruining attempts to prevent atrocities and protect civilians. Faced with these problems that affect the population on a daily basis, they must start getting help from other countries in order to repair their condition and help their people. The Congolese army and government are largely responsible for the violence and atrocities committed in the country, as they had to keep their promises to the integrated soldiers, the weakness of their government ruined attempts to prevent atrocities and to protect civilians, and they must stop letting...... middle of paper ......authors. This type of weakness in their government is what ruins attempts to prevent atrocities and protect civilians. With so much to sort out, they need to start getting help from other countries and providing their own aid in order to repair the state they have found themselves in and help their people. Because they mistreated the M23 rebels and failed to keep the promises they made in the peace treaty, they pushed them to rebel again and internally damned their people. With a suffering army and state, they are useless in stopping the rebels. The Congolese government needs help from neighboring countries to resolve some of its piling problems. They must start helping groups that help their civilians deal with violence and blame the perpetrators responsible for heinous acts against the population..
