[[Media:[[ The Concept of CongoCaust]]]]

Etymology :( Study of the history of a word and how it has changed over time.)

The word is made up of Congo: reffering to the Central African Country where such Atrocious acts have the highest prevalence in the world and

Caust, from Holocaust which is a Greek word that can be translated as “burning of a whole” or “engulfed in fire”.

Congocaust refers to huge loss of life, through the scramble for raw material, over a prolonged period of time due to silent nature and need for secrecy as well as deceit surrounding the actions. The reasons for such events are primarily unrelated to community hatred.

Unlike many other holocausts of parts of humanity, Congocausts are driven by the gluttonous need from commercial firms to acquire raw material at below market value by organising unrests and corvee systems.

This model was remarkable in the 1890’s when a great need for rubber from car industries set up a silent but large scale killing and exploitation of Congolese locals, mostly by limb chopping and village burning in a bid to increase rubber production.

The brutality attached was so soul-disfiguring that George Washington Williams, a civil war veteran, lawyer as well as Presbyterian Church missionary, used the word “crime against humanity in the 1890’s to describe the belittling feeling that Leopold 2‘s system impressed on any serene soul.

Throughout the years, there has been much fear on how humanity may rise to annihilate parts of itself through all out state wars or even nuclear holocaust.

The search for raw material has shown the highest potential for conflict in history and the advent of semiconductor technology caused peak demands on Cassiterite and Tantallum from the late 1990’s. The need to acquire cheap ( Keep the capital and the profit but expand humans if need be) exposed Congo which is sitting with 80% of the world’s known COLOMBO TANTALUM reserves, much like the need for rubber once did.

Just like Leopold used mercenaries from as far as Dahomey while occupying Congo, many multinationals have enrolled the services of Rwanda and Uganda’s regular armies to occupy Congo with the help of many PME in order to ensure ideal, near costless supply.

While a similar response to market demands cost 10 millions lives in human fatalities over 23 years, this current and ongoing tragedy in the Congo has already claimed over 6.4 millions at an estimated rate of around 1000 death a day from direct and related conflict related causes.

Such mass killings are possible through excessive militarization due to heightened tensions in the affected areas while refraining from industrial exploitations that demand support and draw attention. This situation forces the military to live off civilians who are then used as forced labours and carriers to points of supplies.

Heavy militarization is key to the process because it guarantees better control of forced labourers, and intimidation on whistle blowers which helps conceal statistic on the cost to human life while maintaining a feeling of mutual neutralisation of armed factions and reporting bogus successes on arranged operations.

Heavy militarization comes with weapons and ammunition supply which the different parties pay for in terms of raw materials which in turn is provided for by villagers.

Most often in these situations, the country’s acting government is party to the deal. In the case of Congo or Sudan, active involvement of government explains the unchallenged veil of secrecy, concealment and public disinterest that are associated with these mass killings.

These raw material searches through conflict have tended, in the post colonial era, to exploit existing cracks in communities and turn them into armed conflicts. This approach has lead to genocide and ethnic cleansing of the group sitting on the richest soil. This trend has been noted with the Twa and Bambuti (Pygmies groupings), Nande people or the Black Africans in Sudan.

A must do to ensure mass killing without being questioned is high levels societal intimidation which will guarantee obedience and deter rebellion. Massive rapes, random killing and tortures are used as wall painted hieroglyphs to mean total submission demanded on these overlooked societies. Massive rapes make for family unit disintegration, increases anger as well as maximising dehumanisation which rhyme with the newly proposed forced labourers’ state.

Due to already existing ethnic tensions, active genocide incidents have been recorded. The infamous trend of generational abortion where rapes incidents are accompanied with permanent womb debilitating injuries (usually with the use of sharp cutting objects, or even bullets) so as to affect natality rate within the next grouping.

It is also noticeable that most of these gruesome acts are done by mercenaries who get recruited across countries and continents to play a professional role every time a new conflict arises.

Child soldiers are usually taken by force from villages by abduction. This phenomenon in a Congocaust environment was fairly recorded with Leopold 2 who raised an army or orphans to quell away any attempt of revolts in the Congo.

Seen as a mere commodity, or loots of war, these children are afforded no medical treatment, payment or sometimes food for their services rendered.

Many other consequences such as body part trafficking, human trafficking (girls and boys for prostitution), the newly discovered albino body part trafficking, endangered species killing and trafficking, poaching and narcotic farms and uses.

Naturally, the spread of HIV is an unstudied concern in these cases, together with teenage and general pregnancy through sex at gunpoint, unwanted children….

Loss of lives for reasons and modus operandi similar to Congocaust would likely occur in parts of the world where scarce resources such as oil, gold, diamond, Nickel, Cassiterite, Coltan and even water in abundance however, they require a failed state environment or a country where people have part-time citizenship which allows them the right to vote but not to discuss on their voting options openly.

Sadly, as more multinationals spread around the world and that natural resources become scarce, organised conflicts for “low expense resources acquisition” may become frequent with vulnerable states.
