Six-Day War: 23rd Anniversary Report
By Aïssata Diallo
This report refers to a sad date for the whole of the Democratic Republic of Congo. On June 5th, 2000, 23 years ago, the Democratic Republic of Congo faced a war that lasted six days from 5 to 10 June 2000 in the city of Kisangani.
"Over six bloody days in June 2000, the Congolese city of Kisangani was the scene of deadly violence between the Ugandan and Rwandan armies. More than 10,000 shells exploded, killing thousands and injuring thousands more.
Since then, victims of the Six-Day War have fought for recognition and compensation. Uganda has been found guilty of war crimes by the International Court of Justice, but the victims remain uncompensated decades later.
Now, they decide to take matters into their own hands. In the first Congolese film to be an official selection at the Cannes Film Festival, acclaimed director Dieudo Hamadi (Mama Colonel, National Diploma, Ladies in Waiting) captures their long journey down the Congo River to voice their claims in capital city of Kinshasa, seeking justice at last."

Amidst this chaos, LGBT+ individuals find themselves displaced, confronting dire circumstances and discrimination in makeshift camps.
Donate now to directly support LGBT+ people displaced by war and impacted by ongoing discrimination and persecution."

"The violence must end, and the dignity of everyone must be a priority in these conflicts. No one should have to endure what I am describing, yet millions of families spend their entire days under such conditions.
[...]
The solution, while simple in theory, involves stopping the violence through decisive action by the international community and continuing to support the mechanism for emergency and coordinated response to protect civilian populations and ensure their safety."
