More than two hundred and fifty thousand people have been displaced in Congo's eastern province over the last three months. Civilians are the ones most affected in a violent on-going crisis in this mineral-rich country. Since the bloody civil war that involved half a dozen African countries and cost more than two million lives ended in 2003 – rape, pillage and massive displacement have continued to plague the lives of everyday people. Stephanie Kale visited a refugee camp north of Goma, to find out how people are dealing with the most recent violent outbreak.
