Yea, if you have ever read about the congo, it is no joke. It has been war torn for years. The limited economy that is there is all based on bribes and extortion via the diamond trade. If you have ever seen Blood Diamond, this is where it is based on. There are villages where these people wanted to stop for water and sleep but could not because they could tell it wasd not very safe. Most of the time they spent overnight was in catholic missions. These were the only safe gated places to stay (in there tent). It really is a crazy read.
