Deadliest Conflict Since World War II

A new mortality report from the International
Rescue Committee says that as many as 5.4 million
people have died from war-related causes in the
Congo since 1998. A staggering 45,000 people
continue to die each month both from the conflict
and the related humanitarian crisis. Amidst the
deadliest conflict since World War II, hundreds of
international corporations have reaped enormous
profits from extracting and processing Congolese
minerals. We speak to Maurice Carney of Friends of
the Congo and Nita Evele of Congo Global Action.

How long is it going to take Africa to tell the
invaders to GET OUT.
Africa would be better off if it did not sell Oil,
Gold Diamonds etc.
How long is it going to take to point the guns on
the REAL Enemy? and say
GET OUT!
Does any one know how all this fits back to Bill
Clinton? Rwanda?
Half the story never been told, or do you even
care?

The Yes Men have struck again. On Tuesday, a man
claiming to be a representative of Halliburton
gave a presentation at the "Catastrophic Loss"
conference at the Ritz-Carlton in Amelia Island,
Florida. Conference attendees include leaders from
the insurance industry. We speak with the Yes
Men's Andy Bichlbaum, who took part in the hoax.
