Lacking electricity, almost every household in the region depends on charcoal for boiling water and cooking. Armed groups control the industry and have invaded Virunga National Park, where dozens of rangers have been killed trying to halt destruction of the forest.” “Rwanda’s genocide was instigated by the decisions of power-hungry politicians. But a scarcity of land set the stage for the mass killing. In short, the genocide gave landless Hutu the cover they needed to initiate class warfare.

Soliders and rebels moving through the area have raped more than 800 women in this village alone.”
