City of Joy

 

city of joy a documentary about civil in Congo

Our political workers, politicians, history students, social and media workers must watch the documentary on the 25-year-old Congolese civil war. This Documentary is about the former Belgian colony of Congo - the world's richest country in gold, copper, and uranium reserves It consists of the naked game of multinational companies. In this game, thirty or forty war groups were formed, all of which were recruited from the poor to fuel the war, and those private soldiers kept saying that we only have guns, now we can eat bread and rape.

The city of joy documentary tells the stories of raped women who became pregnant and their stomachs were kicked to kill their unborn babies in their bellies by soldiers and repeatedly picked up for rape. In front of their eyes, the genitals of their loved ones were cut off and their eyes were taken out.

How to get these women out of trauma in that situation and restore their trust in society?

That was the question facing Nobel Prize-winning gynecologist Dr. Denis Mukwege and human rights activist Christine Schuler Deschryver.

That now women who have been unhappy or frustrated all their lives because of rape had to be happy.

On the outskirts of the city of Bukavu, with the help and hard work of women, the City of Joy was established for raped women who lost their vagina, bladder, and rectum at the hands of the military wolves with dignity in this war.

The doctor provided medical assistance to 40,000 raped women from that hospital.

In that civil war, soldiers attacked hospitals and killed patients, and doctors were also attacked, and forced to leave the country. These killers used rape as a weapon of war or sexual terrorism.

Doctors at Panzi Hospital operated and rescued thousands of women whose genitals had been injured by uniformed militia soldiers and every single woman was gang-raped. The war in the Congo was because of the involvement of all the powerful countries that wanted to control the mining of all the mineral deposits.

Multinational corporations from around the world wanted to seize the Congo's reserves, the companies were from Belgium, Burundi, Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Hong Kong, Israel, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Rwanda, South Africa, Switzerland, Thailand, Uganda, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and Zimbabwe.

The companies, corporations were unfamiliar with the geography of Congo and did not know the routes to the jungles so they enlisted the help of local influential people, warlords, mafias.

After building local forces and this is what happened, Thirty militant groups came face to face with each other with the sponsorship of companies.

Now to the people of Congo It was not known who was working for whom are they army or they are terrorists?

Every militia used rape as a weapon of war in villages near or around mineral deposits.

They would come and rape girls, young and old And as a result, the villages of the country would be emptied by migrating to the city out of fear and terror And the work of the companies became easier. The main focus of this documentary is to save the raped women from suicidal thoughts and restore their confidence.

Training and educating resistance to rapists, and train women to return to society giving strong leadership.

Dr. Denis Mukwege and Christine Schuler Deschryver did this by showing that a woman from here became a lawyer  a nurse, social workers and went back to their community.
