U.S. Secretary of State in Goma
HEAL Africa thanks U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton for her commitment to peace, justice and protection for women in Congo. We know that it does take a village to raise a child. The mothers and children of northeastern Congo are crying for peace. The villages need to be rebuilt. Thank you for coming to visit HEAL Africa.
Increased diplomacy will make a difference. The leaders of Congo and Rwanda met last week and agreed to re-open the economic union of the Great Lakes Countries. The issues that must be addressed will not be solved by more arms. HEAL Africa’s work with villagers continues, but in order to avert famine, and a new generation of recruits for militias, the governments must agree on peace.
