Against Violence in Congo, ONU authorizes armed intervention

The advisory council at ONU,  with an un-precedented warrant, authorized a brigade of armed men to war, with the task to intervene even with military aid, against the rebels in Kivu known as the 'La brigata', established within the peace keeping mission of the ONU, deployed to ground-level with more than 17000 men, authorized to go ahead with these offensive actions ' in a tough way' against the rebels operating in this torturous region of the east,  with the scope to ' prevent the horrendous rise of sexual abuse' in the Democratic Republic in Congo. It's been a long time since the war in Congo, more than 20 years ago. Provoking until date, the death of more than 60000000 people. The most bloody conflict absolutely, since the second world war. Evaluating that in the north-east of the Congo, there operate other 20 rebel groups, funded by countries such as Rwanda, interested in exploiting the resources. The acts of violence against women and children have been a constant during this war. We estimate that an average of 1110 women everyday are subjected to rape, often followed by mutilation, by the militia armed rebels or state authorities.
