In the Democratic Republic of Congo extreme violence has displaced at least a quarter of a million innocent people from their homes. They are now exposed to further risks, not least hunger.

Yet again the UN is our best hope for making attempts to minimise the effects of this tragedy of epic proportions and to negotiate for peace.

Here is another reason to recognise the value of the UN. You can support the efforts of the UN by simply registering with the Influx Project. We endeavour to make it easier to understand, support and engage with this unique organisation, from the comfort of your own home.
