November 2008, The city of Goma
Lenka Klicperová
Jeep tries to go as fast as possible on the poor road through afternoon´s Goma. Devilled city runs behind the closed window. They allowed me only a small chink for some photographic experiment. People could allegedly throw the stones at us. Who? Locals. They do not like Whites, they do not like MONUC and neither do they like the UN armed forces, which operate here quite unsuccessfully. It was not easy to convince someone to take us to refugee camps, which are located north of Goma. One can still feel sensible intensity in the city, general Laurent Nkunda is not far. The situation can change every day. As soon as it gets dark, the looting and murdering take place in Goma. The real hell on the Earth.

She was raped, so what should they do with her...

It could have been one of the richest countries in the world. It could have been a country, where everyone would live in plenitude and comfort. It could have, but it couldn´t lie in Africa. We are talking about Democratic republic of Congo, where its huge natural resources have caused only violence and misery so far. The richest country in the world, which is the real gate to hell...
