Ndugu zetu wenye uchungu na Waarabu tunaomba kidogo muelekeze macho yenu kwa hawa weusi wenzetu wanaoteseka.
Humu utakuta kunao hata wa dini yenu kama dini ndio hufanya mkomalie kuwalilia Waarabu.

Escalating violence in Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has forced at least about 78,000 children to flee their homes in the past week, with thousands now on the road to Goma, the capital of the eastern province of North Kivu, global charity Save the Children said on Thursday via a statement.
The renewed fighting between the DRC Armed Forces (FARDC) and rebels of the March 23 Movement (M23), a non-state armed group, has displaced at least 150,000 people, more than half of them children, since February 2, 2024.
Parents have reported that many children have been separated in the violence although the number of lost children remains unknown, said the statement.

The use of artillery, drones, and explosives in Eastern DRC is killing and injuring civilians and damaging and destroying essential infrastructure, said Save the Children.
According to local media sources, 19 people have been killed and 27 others injured in the violence, including three young girls. A market was hit on February 7, and munitions also landed inside a school courtyard and close to a hospital, as all schools in the area remain closed.
