The war in the Congo (12 pics + text) Bashny.Net

In the Democratic Republic of Congo war again. However, that means again? She goes there for ten years, almost without ceasing. Just now, she broke out with renewed vigor after a brief lull in the beginning of the year.

In August, General Laurent Nkunda rebel with his Tutsi rebels launched an attack on government troops of President Joseph Kabila, supporting Hutu rebels. UN troops are in the country to cope with the situation and can not defend themselves for the most part, not the civilian population, which is cut out by thugs from both sides. Quarter of a million refugees in the country hardest brewing humanitarian disaster. To plunder case-shoot of connecting more fighters and tribal Mai-Mai and Hutu movement with the romantic name "kill together." This whole cocktail thoroughly mixed throughout the country already plagued by decades of civil strife.

DRC now comes a very interesting in terms of the photographic material. News agencies kept there his best shots and Photo report dramatic and full of images, in their own way, very beautiful (of course, if that word is appropriate here). I have selected a series of photographs of the South African fotokorra Associated Press Jerome Delay, who now works in the Congo.
