M23 Rebels now occupy the city of Goma, where BRIC is located.
They kill people indiscriminately, with or without provocation.
The occupiers held a mandatory meeting of Goma citizens in early February.
Those who did not attend were whipped.
In early February, more than 5,000 people were killed, not including soldiers.
At the meeting (held in a stadium), the M23 Rebels asked for young boys to join their army. The following Monday, no one sent their
children to school because it was understood that the M23 Rebels would take them to join their forces.
Things are dire in Goma.
These people had nothing to lose, but now they are even losing their lives.
Prices for food are astronomical.
Utilities are haphazard.
BRIC is attempting to teach young boys car repair mechanics to help keep them from joining the M23 Rebels, because they think they will be fed regularly.
Please pray for them.
Even small donations are greatly appreciated.
