Congo Killing Just Keeps on Going, Going, Going On - No One Seems to Care?

Where are all those who want regime change here and there, a preemptive strike here and there, and...

Where is anyone who cares about innocents in Uganda. Their government is debating criminalizing being gay and cannot protect its people against the LRA and the Congo government... who cares about the killing?

(Kampala) - The rebel Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) killed at least 321 civilians and abducted 250 others, including at least 80 children, during a previously unreported four-day rampage in the Makombo area of northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo in December, 2009, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today.

"The Makombo massacre is one of the worst ever committed by the LRA in its bloody 23-year history, yet it has gone unreported for months," said Anneke Van Woudenberg, senior Africa researcher at Human Rights Watch. "The four-day rampage demonstrates that the LRA remains a serious threat to civilians and is not a spent force, as the Ugandan and Congolese governments claim."
