Despite UN peacekeeping efforts in the ongoing conflict in the Congo, children are being orphaned and separated from their families daily. Here a group of teeny tiny Congolese children are sheltered in Goma. More than 250,000 people have been displaced since fighting began to escalate in August, 2008.
More information and photos of this crisis here. Some photos are heartbreaking in this decades long and often forgotten African conflict. Please pray for the people of the Congo. They need whatever we can send them and much more, as do the people of Sudan.
Where there's war and death in countries like the Congo and Sudan, can Arab Muslims, a wealth of oil and minerals and the Chinese be far behind? The answer is clearly, YES.
