  The War in Congo

Last week, my favorite magazine The Economist had a great report on the war in Congo. The following paragraph is one of the most fucked up things I have ever read:

"Even by the standards of war, some of the atrocities in eastern Congo are shocking. Zainabo Alfani, for example, was stopped by men in uniform on a road in Ituri last year. She and 13 other women were ordered to strip, to see if they had long vaginal lips, which the gunmen believed would have magical properties. The 13 others did not, and were killed on the spot. Zainabo did. The gunmen cut them off and then gang-raped her. Then they cooked and ate her two daughters in front of her. They also ate chunks of Zainabo's flesh. She escaped, but had contracted HIV. She told her story to the UN in February, and died in March. "

There is trully an ugly world out there, no matter how bad we have it there really is someone in a worse situation.
