War in Congo: An Overview

The ongoing bloodshed in the Democratic Republic of Congo is of such enormity that within the region it is sometimes referred to as the First African World War. In this ABC News program, Ted Koppel presents two successive stories about the struggle going on in Congo. First, he uses a wide-angle lens to capture a decade of crises: the Tutsi genocide in neighboring Rwanda, the resulting flood of refugees into Congo, the irreparable ecological damage done to Congo’s wildlife, and the depredations against native Congolese and Rwandan refugees by Rwandan Hutu raiders and others. Then, Mr. Koppel focuses in on the town of Shabunda, where a Catholic priest is trying to help his traumatized flock deal with the rape and murder it endures. (43 minutes)
