Dear Editor,

I would like to request organisations like the Red Cross, United Nations High Commission for refugees (UNHCR) and other concerned relief organisations to assist the big number of people from Congo who are escaping to neighbouring countries of Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi.

In tough times like these, it is necessary that we assist our brothers and sisters. War and conflicts are a common case in African countries so we may never know who could be relocating next.

As we struggle to maintain peace and stability on the African continent let us not forget the many who are still suffering. Together we can develop our nations.
