last year reported that a substantial proportion of the sexual violence in DRC
is committed by men in uniform. Most cases of rape in insecure remote areas go
unreported, the survivors unable to get treatment. This recent attack in South
Kivu is unfortunately not an isolated incident, but part of an ongoing,
horrifying trend. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
