Rape as a weapon of war | Blessing-Miles Tendi In armed conflicts rape is often used to dominate and terrorise other groups – and it is rarely punishedThink unmitigated crises in Africa over the last 20 years and the following episodes nimbly come to mind: Rwanda's 1994 genocide of the Hutu majority against a Tutsi minority; state collapse in Somalia upon the fall of President Siad Barre in 1991; the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) civil war from 1998-2003 in which lives were mostly lost to starvation and preventable diseases; breathtaking economic decline and the forceful seizure of white-owned commercial farms in Zimbabwe from 2000; and armed conflict in the Ivory Coast and Liberia.Those are the big pictures that capture the crises stories in these beleaguered countries. But one story is never told or is not told enough about these crises.

Knives, guns, sticks and any other objects imaginable that can be inserted into vaginas have been additional instruments in brutal rapes causing severe genital mutilation and spreading sexually-transmitted infections, most notably HIV-Aids.A new report by the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative and Oxfam International, documents the use of rape as a weapon of war in Eastern DRC from 2004 to 2008. The DRC army along with Congolese and Rwandan militias raped tens of thousands of women in this four-year period with manifold implications.
