The Democratic Republic of Congo has been enduring a devastating conflict often dubbed as an "African World War," resulting in the loss of over 6 million lives and displacing more than 6 million people. Despite its severity, the international community has largely overlooked the crisis, focusing instead on conflicts like those in Ukraine and Gaza. This video aims to shed light on the ongoing situation in Congo, exploring why the conflict persists and why it receives minimal attention compared to other global crises.
