Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Silent genocide taking place in Congo as 6M Congolese people have been displaced.
The 2 largest diamond mines in Congo are owned by Dan Gertler International (DGI), the owner of which is an Israeli billionaire, Dan Gertler and Asa International Group (owned by Dutch billionaire) from which the following jewelers have bought diamonds.
“The most recent escalation of the conflict has uprooted more people in less time like rarely seen before,” said IOM’s chief of mission in Congo, Fabien Sambussy.
More than two-thirds of those displaced, nearly 4.8 million people, live with host families, the IOM said, further squeezing already impoverished communities.
Frustration has been growing over the increase in violence. Earlier this month, the Congolese government directed the East African regional force, deployed just last year to help end the fighting, to leave the country by December. The government alleged a “lack of satisfactory results on the ground.”
The U.N. peacekeeping mission also has faced pressure to withdraw from Congo after more than two decades in the country. The killings in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are a serious humanitarian crisis. According to the United Nations, over 5.7 million people have been displaced by the violence, and over 13 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance.
