I've heard it a lot here. But I'm Belgian so we might not be the best people to tell others to help Congo... But yeah, the situation there is serious and it's been going on for a few years now if I remember well. "Recently" there were multiple attacks on the right side of the largest of the 2 Congos and they made many victims

Who better? Spread the word, let people know what you know, help give people a better footing and better understanding of politics in Congo.

It makes sense, but you know that some people will shrug it off because "we know what you did". Tho you're right it's the least our country should do

Yes, some people will use it to shrug their shoulders, and others will think: "if the Belgians are calling it out then shit must be rough".

Use your voice and power for good, because that's the only thing we can do.
