Congo: We did whatever we wanted, says soldier who raped 53 women

In a small house on a hill overlooking Lake Kivu, a young Congolese soldier recounts the crimes he and his comrades committed in Minova a few months ago. "Twenty-five of us gathered together and said we should rape 10 women each, and we did it," he said. "I've raped 53 women. And children of five or six years old.

"I didn't rape because I am angry, but because it gave us a lot of pleasure," says 22-year-old Mateso (not his real name). "When we arrived here we met a lot of women. We could do whatever we wanted."

On 22 November last year thousands of exhausted, battered and bruised Congolese army troops descended on the town having just lost a battle with the rebel M23 fighters in Goma, the main city in eastern Congo some 30 miles away.

Their retreat was haphazard and chaotic. The soldiers were embarrassed, angry, upset and out of control; their commanders had disappeared and the battalion and regiment structures had disintegrated.

When they arrived in Minova they were drunk, hungry and violent. The locals suffered two nightmarish days of looting, rape and murder before the army restored some discipline among its troops.

It is headed this way. It will just take it a few years to get here.Just as soon as they get the guns and the self hating whites that worship obama will be the first customers. What they don’t know is that he hates and despises them just as much as he does other Whites.

Always the same. The fellow travelers who support the revolution will be the first to be destroyed.

Never. French Revolution, Russian Revolution, Spanish Revolution. All the same. The most ardent apparatchiks the first to be slain.
