This video, produced by WITNESS partner Ajedi-Ka, talks about the resurgence of violence in the Eastern provinces of the DRC from January 2008 on. The renewed fighting between rebel groups like CNDP and Interahamwe and the Congolese Army in Eastern DRC has produced a growing humanitarian crisis marked by severe human rights violations. Some of the effects have included: displacement of thousands of families, murders, recruitment of child soldiers, mass rape, and a collapse of public health services which has exacerbated the spread of HIV/AIDS.
