Online Museum of Congolese Victims of the War

 

In the absence of initiatives by the Congolese government to honor the victims of the deadliest war since World War II with more than 5 million deaths which resulted in disastrous consequences for the Congolese young girls and women raped, forced into sexual slavery, forced labor and tortured. Unfortunately the perpetrators remain unpunished.We announce the following:  En l'absence d'initiatives prises par le gouvernement congolais pour honorer les victimes de la guerre la plus meurtrière depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale avec plus de 5 millions de morts qui a entraîné des conséquences désastreuses pour les jeunes filles congolaises et les femmes violées, contraintes à l'esclavage sexuel, le travail forcé et de torture. Malheureusement, les auteurs restent impunis. Nous annonçons ce qui suit: The Congolese Online Museum, which was launched in honor of more than five million people who lost their lives in armed conflict in the DRC continues to collect images and photos of victims. Visit http://www.congowarmuseum.org   Le musée en ligne congolais, qui a été lancé en l'honneur des plus de cinq millions de personnes qui ont perdu leur vie dans les conflits armés en RDC continue de recueillir des images et des photos de victimes. Visitez http://www.congowarmuseum.org   We can give dignity and honor those victims of this murderous war since the Second World War by exposing the horror and pain suffered. Given the moral and educational value, images of victims of this war, deserve to be archived in the form of books, museums and other public tributes. Nous pouvons donner la dignité et l'honneur aux victimes de cette guerre meurtrière depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale en exposant  les horreurs et les douleurs subies. Compte tenu de la valeur morale et éducative, les images des victimes de cette guerre, méritent d'être archivées dans les formes de livres, de musées et d'autres hommages publics. Le musée est aussi un rappel visible pour nous tous sur ce qui se passe quand nous ne parvenons pas à résoudre nos conflits pacifiquement. Les conflits sont inévitables, mais ils peuvent être résolus pacifiquement, mais aussi  un puissant rappel que les personnes accusées de crimes de guerre et de crimes contre l'humanité au Congo doivent être tenus pour responsables, indépendamment de leur affiliation politique, groupe ethnique et leur positions au sein du gouvernement. The museum is also a visible reminder to us all about what happens when we fail to resolve our conflicts peacefully and also a powerful reminder why those accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Congo must be held accountable, regardless of their political affiliation, ethnicity and their positions in government. Conflicts are inevitable, but we can be resolved peacefully.     Click here http://congowarmuseum.org/contactus.aspx  to send us any picture of the victims of war that you have  or simply send us a link of  website with pictures, we will work on obtaining permission to include these images in the Online  Museum of  Victims of the war in Congo Cliquez ici pour nous envoyer une image de victimes de la guerre que vous avez ou simplement à nous envoyer un lien d'un site Web avec des images, nous allons travailler sur l'obtention d'une autorisation d'insérer ces images dans le musée en ligne de la guerre au Congo   Ce projet fait partie de la MJPC, un organisme sans but lucratif dédié au travail d'ajouter une voix dans la promotion de la justice et la paix en République démocratique du Congo, en particulier dans l'Est où des milliers de civils innocents, y compris les enfants et les femmes continuent à être victimes de violations massives des droits humains alors que les groupes armés responsables de ces crimes restent impunis. www.mjpcongo.org This project is part of MJPC, a nonprofit organization dedicated to working to add a voice in promoting justice and peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, particularly in the east where thousands of innocent civilians, including including children and women continue to be victims of massive human rights violations, while armed groups responsible for these crimes remain unpunished. www.mjpcongo.org
