History & Geography Congo is bordered by nine other countries and is the size of Western Europe with a population of 65 million people. The lingua franca is French however for major languages are spoken among the 250 ethnic groups. King Leopold II ruled Congo as his own personal property for 23 years during which time approximately 10 million people were slaughtered. In 1960, they got their independence from Belgium.

The Tragedy Nearly 6 million people have died as a result of conflict and conflict related causes in the Congo since 1996. Hundreds of thousands of women have raped as weapons of war. 80% of the population lives on 30 cents or less per day. The international community is systematically looting Congo's spectacular wealth.

Politics U.S allies, Rwanda and Uganda invaded the Congo twice which resulted in the removal of Mobutu in 1997 and unleashing of the deaths of nearly 6 million. The overthrow of Mobutu resulted in the installation of Laurent Desire Kabila in 1997, who was assassinated in 2001 and followed by his son Joseph Kabila who is still in power after the elections in 2006. The Congo obtained independence from Belgium on June 30, 1960 under the elected leadership the prime minister Patrice Emery Lumumba who was summarily assassinated within months by western power Congolese sycophants.
