Quote:Hundred of civilians were killed in Congo massacre

A human rights group said at least 321 civilians were killed by the Lord's Resistance Army in Congo in a previously unreported massacre in late 2009.

New York-based Human Rights Watch added that at least 250 people were abducted by the rebels, including at least 80 children during the killing spree in the Makombo area of northeastern Congo.

Senior Africa researcher Anneke Van Woudenberg called the massacre "one of the worst ever committed by the LRA in its bloody 23-year history".

Yet the massacre targeting at least 10 villages, which occurred from December 14-17, 2009, went unreported for months.

The LRA is a Ugandan rebel movement that was pushed out of Uganda and is now in a tropical forest straddling the border between Congo and the Central African Republic.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
Carl Jung - Aion (1951). CW 9, Part II: P.14
