Congolese women protest war.
The white banners, some in French, some in English, listed the atrocities of the DRC's civil war, such as the rape of women, the massacre of children, and environmental damage. Aningina Tshefu Bibiane told The Earth Times that she and the approximately 25 other protestors were urging women attending the Beijing Plus Five conference to help them bolster awareness of the effects of the conflict on the civilian population. We would like more solidarity from other women. We have no voice. The Congo is dying.
