Over 5 Million Dead! 250,000 Women and Children Raped!

May 26th, 2009 — 09:51 am

For every minute you have used a mobile phone / cell phone over the past decade another person has DIED in the Congo in the ongoing, brutal war that the world has barely heard anything about…

That is around 5,500,000 deaths, so far - Five-and-a-Half MILLION DEATHS -… a number that is rising at around half a  million per year!

During a 10 minute conversation on your mobile/cell 10 more deaths will occur - and half of these are likely to be children under 5 years old.

Every month over 1100 cases of rape are reported - a fraction of the likely figure - as those who gain $144,000,000 a year from extorting the income from the mining of mineral resources in the Congo continue their inhuman, intimidating reign of terror… That amounts to around 250,000 women and children raped in recent years, as part of this horrendous exploitation of ‘blood minerals’!

And anyone who owns or uses a MOBILE PHONE / CELL PHONE - or other electronic device such as a PC or laptop - made by manufacturers who buy mineral resources such as Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten from the Congo are effectively supporting this regime of terror and genocide.

A regime of terror that compares only with the Nazi’s of World War 2 in terms of the magnitude of their genocide - and are even worse in terms of their use of rape as a weapon of war - yet we hear almost nothing about it…

YOU can  - indeed you MUST - do something NOW.

Don’t dare to make another mobile phone / cell phone call until you have done SOMETHING…
