- Abstract:
  The article reports on the promise made by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to aid sexual-violence victims in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is noted that sexual violence is a weapon wielded by rebel groups and the Congolese army in which tens of thousands of women, girls and some men have been raped. Clinton has appealed to Angolan President José Eduardo dos Santos to stop the illegal activity in the mineral trade that drives the conflict.
