There has been widespread concern about how to explain the occurrence of wartime rape in the years since it has successively been used as a last-resort weapon of war. In the years since the advent of the first instances of war in any civilization, reports of mass rapes have been reported with succession, with feminist scholars, human rights organizations, scientists and even journalists begging to seek a viable solution to this formidable scourge. While some researchers argue that the occurrence of wartime rape, with its frequency, savagery and systematic organization during these times, is inherently entwined with the nature of the conflicts, most of them emphasize that the phenomenon has a timeless ubiquity that can be traced to the times of Homer and the raping of mythological Sabine women (Boehm 15). Researchers throughout history have also been united by the absence of attention in the national and international criminal courts for the perpetrators of these crimes, a serious dereliction of not only the social/moral but also the intellectual rights of those wronged. Most importantly, there is the growing consensus that the only way to try and understand the occurrence of wartime rape as a weapon of war is to understand and appreciate the factors and conditions that promote it. As this paper tries to address, the occurrence of wartime rape in the Democratic Republic of Congo was done purely as a means of increasing the militia’s influence in the warring regions, as a last resort means after every other war tactic had failed to bear fruit. Militias and other warring factions often use rape as a means of demoralizing and degrading their enemies, sneaking back and taking refuge in their already beaten foes. As it is with most African conflicts, the situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo has much to do with the legacy of the nation as well as the political backdrops of colonialism. Since the violent imposition of the Belgian colonial rule in 1885, calling the nation the Congo Free State, there have been many killed in the nation, with most of the murders being so grotesque and monstrous that people have literary lost touch with humanity (chopped limbs and body parts). These conflicts and clashes that were registered in this far too marginalized African country were described as the most monstrous fights in history within the African continent, with registered adversity being so catastrophic that they literary affected the entire spheres (economic, political, social, traditional) of life of the affected people. The crisis that went down in the DRC was unswervingly linked to the Rwandan genocide and the Interahamwe militias that were in a major way to blame for the genocide just crossed the borders into Congo causing their action there in 1994 and have never left. As time went by, inhabitant rape become a regular thing making instrument to attach the civilians increasing its levels from 20% in 2004 to about 75% registered rape in 2008. It soon became an ordinary thing in different areas especially in the eastern province bearing a nickname for it as “the ground zero of rape” (Boehm 30). The rape cases increased affecting hundreds of thousands of girls children and women, and the most
