Because of inter-tribal warfare and widespread corruption, in recent years the DRC has become one of the world’s poorest countries. It has an almost non-existent infrastructure, including roads, basic utilities, and government. Rape and torture are commonly used by rival militias to terrorize villages. Although 90% of the Congolese people profess Christianity, brutality, witchcraft, and evil rule over the land. There have been more deaths here in recent years than in any conflict since World War II.
