Forced sex is nothing but outright rape. And rape is a display of the feeling of nothingness by the perpetrator. And when we have prominent individuals (whether degenerate Africans, or a Dennis Prager, or a doctor Laura) of any group advocating such brutal acts, then people, we indeed have a problem!

Post-election violence in the Congo...

DR Congo police 'killed 24 civilians' after elections
21 December 2011 - HRW says both protesters and bystanders have been caught up in police violence

At least 24 people have been killed by police in the Democratic Republic of Congo since last month's disputed elections, a US rights group has said. President Joseph Kabila was sworn in for a second term this week, but his rival, Etienne Tshisekedi says he won. Human Rights Watch (HRW) said most of the deaths occurred in the capital, Kinshasa, where Mr Tshisekedi has strong support. It said it had evidence security forces had tried to cover up the deaths. The elections were the first to be organised locally since the end of a devastating civil war in 2003, which left some four million people dead. The results were announced on 9 December, but were immediately rejected by Mr Tshisekedi and his supporters, leading to clashes in the capital. International observers said the electoral process had been too flawed to be credible.

HRW said that the deaths and the "arbitrary" arrest of dozens of people appeared to be an attempt by the authorities to stifle protest against the results. Based on eyewitness accounts by HRW staff and Congolese activists, the group said it had evidence that 20 people had died in Kinshasa, two in North Kivu, and two in Kasai Occidental province. Among the alleged victims were opposition supporters attempting to protest or simply bystanders, including a 13-year-old boy shot as he was standing outside his home and a woman killed while she was looking for her children. "These bloody tactics further undermine the electoral process and leave the impression that the government will do whatever it takes to stay in power," said Anneke Van Woudenberg, senior Africa researcher at HRW. HRW said security forces appeared to be covering up the scale of the killings by removing bodies and telling medical personnel not to give out information about such deaths.

In addition, it accused the Republican Guard - the military unit which is meant to protect the president - of acting outside its authority by arresting civilians and holding them at "illegal places of detention". "The government should order the immediate release of all detainees in their custody, and undertake an impartial investigation into responsibility for these unlawful arrests and the mistreatment of detainees," said Ms Van Woudenberg. Mr Kabila dismissed similar accusations made against the security forces at the end of the electoral campaign as unproven. He has congratulated the police and the army on their patriotism and professionalism in maintaining order before, during and after the election.

That's just your Westernized idea of rape. Did you not watch the video? Those guys made sure the woman was in good health before they raped them. So you can't say they had no feelings about it.

Another Rwanda in the making...

Democratic Republic of Congo: Another atrocity in the making?
January 6, 2012 - Democratic Republic of Congo incumbent president Joseph Kabila and challenger Etienne Tshisekedi in protracted dispute over November 2011 election results.

During her 2009 visit to Goma in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called for the arrest and punishment of militiamen responsible for the widespread sexual violence and broader human rights violations that have devastated the eastern Congo for more than a decade. She described the situation as “one of mankind’s greatest atrocities.” But since flawed November 2011 elections led to renewed violence in other parts of the country, she has failed to defend human rights—and political rights—in the DRC with the same conviction.

Incumbent president Joseph Kabila and his main challenger, Etienne Tshisekedi, are now embroiled in a protracted dispute over the election results. At stake is control over the DRC’s vast natural resources and rapidly growing population, and both men appear willing to unravel the country’s modest democratic advancements, achieved through partly free elections in 2006, and to transform the most recent elections from a somewhat democratic process to a simple power grab.

President Kabila has an undeniable advantage in this pursuit, ironically as a result of his gravely disappointing governance record and autocratic tendencies. He used his firm control over the country’s security forces, state apparatus, and state media to undermine the electoral process. He consistently delayed electoral reforms, repressed political opponents, hijacked the country’s electoral commission, manipulated the voter rolls, rewrote the constitution, and ensured overwhelming media coverage of his campaign.

Despite these efforts, it was Tshisekedi who actually stole the limelight in the run-up to election day. A politically schizophrenic veteran who alternately served and opposed the dictatorial regime of Mobutu Sese Seko (1965–97), he emerged as an unlikely frontrunner for the presidency. He had a proven track record of sabotaging democratic processes, from his role in the 1960 coup and complicity in the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, the DRC’s first independence leader, to his boycott of the 2006 elections. In a moment of preconceived epiphany, Tshisekedi declared at the outset of his presidential campaign in early November that the Congolese people “proclaimed me president a long time ago,” thereby igniting the political powder keg that has ravaged the country for the past month.
