Gentle People:

 I was revolted by a picture I saw on Facebook.  A father holding a baby and both were
horribly scarred by a machete. The baby had a terrible scar on its face which broke my
heart and all I could think of was what cold blooded human maniacs could perpetrate
such atrocities?  I understand how this is a Holiday season in Europe and North America
but to allow this sort of cruelty to exist in Africa and precisely in the Democratic Republic of the
Congo, or D.R.C., is a crime against humanity and degrades all of us as human beings!

  I ask the United Nations to create an armed peace force and to send it to the D.R.C. to help
put an end to this ongoing atrocity.
 I ask all peace loving governments on this planet not to turn their backs on innocent men
and women and children who are victims of cold blooded killers.
Thanks for reading.
