Reuters. “At Least Five Killed in East Congo Clashes: Human Rights Watch.” The New York Times [New York], 30 Oct. 2017. The New York Times, www.nytimes.com/reuters/2017/10/30/world/africa/30reuters-congo-violence.html. Accessed 6 Nov. 2017.
"At Least Five Killed in East Congo Clashes: Human Rights Watch" is an
article about recent and violent deaths that have occurred in an
African country. On October 30th, five individuals lost their lives.
This all started when the civilians of eastern Democratic Republic of
Congo started a protest, demanding that President Joseph Kabila should
depart from office this year. The delay for the presidents departure
has erupted new violence throughout the area. During this protest four
civilians were killed, one of the individuals was struck by a stray
bullet. In addition to the four civilian deaths, a police officer was
beaten to death and many others were injured. This article relates to
what we learned in class because it supports one of the five myths of
Africa. The myth that Africa is violent is supported by this article
because it shows the violence that individuals had to go to, beating a
man to dead, just to feel as if they are being heard.
