Varför Kongo av alla ställen?

I kongo:
"10% said that the first time they had had sex it was forced; 16% said that as some point in their life they had been forced to have sex; and 4% said that they had been forced to have sex in the previous 12 months."

Eller så läser du på själv varför det är så oroligt där borta, din naivitet hjälper ingen, du framstår bara som en idiot...

Civil wars and militia conflicts have plagued Republic of Congo in its recent past, and the country is struggling to build on a peace accord signed with rebels in 2003. However, remnants of rebel militias known as Ninjas have yet to disarm and are still active in the southern Pool region--many have turned to banditry.

Although the security situation overall is relatively stable, sporadic fighting can break out at short notice--hence the risk rating of 8.


Health issues are also a concern, as cases of ebola and other serious diseases have been reported and provision for health care is minimal.

High-risk Areas
The Pool region in the south and the Ubangui River region in the north are hazardous. Travel outside of Brazzaville and Pointe Noire remains dangerous. For safety's sake, it's best to avoid all travel at night.

Avoid travel to Likouala province, bordering Equateur province in the Democratic Republic of Congo because of a large influx of displaced people from DR Congo.

Human-rights abuses
Matters have improved since the signing of the peace deal in 2003, but there are continuing reports of abuses by security forces. These have included arbitrary arrest, looting and rape--impunity is pervasive, and prison conditions are reported to be harsh. Congo has three independent human-rights organizations, but the government is strongly intolerant of their reporting.

In July 2009, the New York-based media rights group Committee to Protect Journalists said foreign journalists had been "harassed" while covering the July 2009 presidential election. The CPJ said that reporters of France 24 and the BBC were manhandled by police and had equipment confiscated or smashed during the dispersal of an opposition demonstration held to protest the announcement that Sassou Nguesso had been re-elected.

Violence and discrimination against women and indigenous pygmies reportedly continues, and in recent years there have been reports of trafficking of people, especially children, for labor. Locals sometimes have resorted to vigilante justice and killed suspected criminals. The authorities have continued to use the courts and administrative measures to silence journalists.

Overview

The security situation in Democratic Republic of Congo is grave because Congolese army operations against Rwandan Hutu insurgents, Ugandan Lord's Resistance Army militants and others are ongoing in eastern and northeastern regions. Most Western nations advise against nonessential travel to DR Congo.

Government security forces are poorly trained and ill-disciplined, and themselves pose hazards to visitors. Frequent outbreaks of ethnic and factional violence, political instability, critical levels of crime, a shattered infrastructure, and continued military and paramilitary operations are the reasons for DR Congo's risk rating of 10.


Maintain a high level of security awareness, register with your embassy upon arrival and inform the embassy of your destination if you plan to travel outside Kinshasa.

High-risk Areas
No part of the country should be regarded as entirely safe. Highest-risk areas include North Kivu, South Kivu, Orientale, northern Katanga, and Bas-Congo provinces, as well as parts of Equateur province, where military operations against rebel factions continue.

Heavy fighting has been reported in areas close to the city of Goma.


Foreign aid workers regularly have been targeted for kidnapping in the Ituri region.


Virunga National Park, which spans the border with Rwanda, is famed for preserving the habitat of hundreds of mountain gorillas and okapi, but rebel factions roaming the park have attacked and robbed tourists and conservationists. Visitors should check with local authorities before considering entering the park.


There has been a marked increase in Congolese security, police patrols and roadblocks throughout Kinshasa’s Gombe district due to the recent attacks at the residence of President Joseph Kabila and Camp Kokolo.

Två av mina kontakter av kvinnligt kön ska visst åka ner till kongo om två veckor på semester. De verkar ha en väldigt romantisk bild av afrika med vackra solnedgångar och skrattande dansande afrikaner, även extremt PK och världsfrånvarande om jag får säga mitt. Blir ju jävligt orolig nu då jag inte vill att de ska råka illa ut. Eller överdriver jag?

Är det säkert för två blonda svenska tjejer att ensamma driva runt i kongo?

Edit: de är 19 och 18 år gamla
