An on-the-ground look at Congo

OMB's researcher Kim Woods found the video series we're posting today.  This is her introduction:

"Dear friends and supporters,

Today, I focus on a view short clips of the Democratic Republic of Congo. VICE is an independent journalism organization. They developed a collection of five videos addressing the conflict in Congo in a very personal light. Especially important in these films are conflict minerals, sexual assault and the Rwandan Hutu rebels as well as the Lord’s Resistance Army.

For individuals who desire a greater understanding of these horrific events, VICE is great in pushing fact based stories versus opinion based. The videos are incredible!"

And they are indeed, but I have to warn you that there are some scenes that are VERY DIFFICULT, especially in video 4. Please be aware and watch accordingly.
