DRC-13wmaschke



Primary Documents 1. [|DRC War] I picked this primary document because it talks about the war in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the ways human rights are being violated with the war. Also it just gives a nice over view of the situation.

2. [|DRC Video] I picked this primary video because it explains about all of the humans right violations that are happening in the DRC and it shows the severity of it with graphics. Also it shows other affects of the war other than just child soldiers.

Artifacts

1. This picture shows some kids in DRC that have been recruited as soldiers. They are likely recruited by rebel groups and are used for dangerous military operations. Child soldiers like these are used because they are easy to control and order.

2. This picture shows child soldiers most likely about to kill a person they could easily capture. Many of the rebel groups the child soldiers are recruited to are very violent. Early in their life these kids are scarred from violent murders that they are forced to do.
