DRC is hardly a conflict free region, or if it is right this moment, it is only because the genocide was so far reaching that there is no one left causing sufficient disturbance to meet whatever bar they've set.

From the article:
- 45,000 people were dying daily as of 2009
- estimates on deaths due to the most recent conflict (deadliest since WWII) were 5,400,000 (though that number is in dispute, no one seems to be standing firmly behind another statistic).
- 400,000 women are raped yearly (2011 statistic)
WTF.
