 More than 100,000 children have been displaced by the latest escalation in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, UNICEF said on Sunday, warning the numbers are expected to rise as violence spreads. Since Dec. 1, intense fighting has uprooted more than 500,000 people, with children accounting for over 100,000 of those displaced in South Kivu alone, the UN agency said in a statement released Sunday.

     According to an eyewitness:
  “This sad incident happened yesterday at Awada in Onitsha . The 2 women are living together in a flat because their husbands share a flat in one compound.

When their husband left for shop this morning, another round of fight began and this time it was different. we heard screaming and then a huge thud and then wailing and crying ensured
I rushed to the verandah and discovered to my dismay that the women fell from their 3rd floor flat and both of them shattered many bones in their bodies. Both couldnt stand but i suspect that the other may have broken her spinal cord because she couldnt move a limb and her head was severely bashed and she was bleeding heavily. They have been rushed to Toronto hospital to ascertain the level of their injuries while we called up their husbands.

  1. Who is to be blamed of the calamity? Yes the husband but are you sure that it's a blame to be casted on them or can we look elsewhere. Most of the defaults in the zoo is as a result of bad governance and economic injustices metered to the people by very few bandits in control of jungle justice in that country. If the economy is half managed the two friends wouldn't be sharing one flat.
