Stilte = Verkragting

Gisteraand het ek aanvanklik met ‘n halwe oor geluister na ‘n program wat gehandel het oor die verkragting van vrouens in die DRC. Later het ek vasgenael voor die tv gesit. Net een ding het deur my kop gegaan: “Goeie #%$! Hóé is dit moontlik dat ek nog nóóit daarvan gehoor het nie??” Ek lees immers elke dag my koerant, kyk SkyNews en CNN.
Is hierdie besig om ‘n tweede, veel erger, Rwanda te word? Met die Weste van gretig die rykdom van die land opslurp, maar te gewillig is om anderkant toe te kyk oor die erge, erge vergrype van militia? Hierdie artikel van Jan Goodwin het al in 2004 verskyn. Dit maak vir grieselrige leesstof – maar lees dit tog.
Volgens die V-Day Movement:
Rape is used as a weapon of war to torture and humiliate women and girls in DRC. This systemic sexual violence not only destroys women and young girls but also entire families and communities. Survivors often suffer in silence, fearing stigma and ostracism. In addition to the severe psychological impact, many survivors are left with genital lesions, traumatic fistulae and other physical wounds, as well as unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. Local support for survivors is hindered by a lack of resources.
DRC has been called the worst humanitarian crisis in the world and the widest interstate war in modern African history. Fueled by the exploitation of the country’s rich natural resources by foreign and local armies and private enterprises, the war has directly affected the lives of 50 million Congolese. Since 1996, this conflict has caused more deaths than any war since World War II, either as a direct result of fighting or from disease and malnutrition. Five million people have lost their lives as a result of the conflict.
Dis dalk ‘n baie simplisties, maar soos “blood diamonds” ‘n rol gespeel het (en skynbaar nog steeds) in verskeie lande in Afrika, is die DRC se “root of all evil” die mineraal coltan. Elektroniese produkte soos selfone, rekenaars en dvd-spelers bevat almal coltan. Die aanvraag is groot, en met die DRC wat 80 % van die wêreld se coltan besit, hoe maklik is dit nie om te maak of daar niks fout is nie? Volgens die tv-program verlaat tot 80 ton onwettige coltan die DRC elke dag.
Ek wonder ook soos Jan Goodwin: “Yet where is the international media coverage? The outrage? The demand for justice?”
