lpv:translated text	"Ever since it gained independence, the Democratic Republic of Congo has been the scene of sustained fighting, as a result of which millions of people have died or been forced to relocate. These conflicts have plunged the country into a humanitarian disaster, and have meant that any guarantee of fundamental human rights being observed is an illusion. The people suffering most in this situation are normal citizens, who are living in constant fear for their lives and their families, and who are functioning in extreme poverty, without any work and without any schooling. The situation is most critical in the Kivu province. In spite of the ‘Act of Commitment’ signed on 23 January 2008, in which the armed groups operating in the province of South Kivu committed themselves to stopping the atrocities, it is still the case that murders, rapes, torture of the civilian population and the conscription of child soldiers are daily occurrences there. However, the crime committed most frequently by all sides in the conflict is mass rapes of women. These women are in a tragic situation. They do not receive any psychological help as a result of the dreadful state of the health service, and most of the time they are left on their own, helpless, intimidated and frequently rejected by their husbands, who regard them as disgraced. The authorities of the Democratic Republic of Congo are responding sluggishly to such an enormous human tragedy, ignoring the problem and leaving the citizens of Congo without help and the perpetrators unpunished. We have to realise that the temporary stabilisation of the situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo is a façade, behind which indescribable atrocities are taking place while the world looks on."@en1
