It is estimated that the war in the Congo has killed upwards of 5.4 million people, the most causalities of any war in earth's history, save for the Second World War. Even in 2009 it has been estimated that around forty five thousand people a month were dying.
15% of the Democratic Republic of Congo's under 18 population are orphans, 770,000 of them orphaned through AIDS alone. However, most have become orphans a result of the bloody conflict. We're talking about 5,000,000 orphaned children here ~ about the entire population of Scotland.
