Cedrick Nianza, a Congolese who self immolated to bring attention to the genocide happening in the Democratic Republic of Congo
We must amplify Cedrick the same way we amplify Aaron Bushnell. Rest in peace
When Rachel was 2 years old, armed men came to her village, which is 50km from Bunia, DRC. She, her sister, and her mother were attacked. Her mother was killed, and her sister had her arm cut off. Rachel now has a scar from the man who slashed her face with a machete. These pictures were taken when she was 5 and living in the Kigonze Refugee Camp in 2021. The article says she does her best not to cry when other children in the camp make fun of her scars. 💔
At the time of the article, UNICEF stated there were 3 MILLION children displaced across the DRC. They have no access to education and face an increased risk of rape and exploitation. They are also at risk of falling prey to drug use and being recruited into armed groups.

Do you guys understand just how cold it has to be inside her shelter that she found standing out in the rain warmer? Even through the hardship, she hasn’t lost her little sparkle of a smile SubhanAllah, May Allah (SWT) bless her & everyone else with an endless amount of happiness
I watched a man carry the remains of his children in garbage bags, killed by the people your administration is actively arming and supporting. I hope you live the rest of your life burdened with the guilt of knowing that the blood of thousands is on your hands. Fuck you.
