        @Independent this is precisely why #YesAllWomen needs to expand its horizons - misogyny and power leads to a lack of #humanity

        @LadyBleach @independent couldn't agree more, in this context it's the male spoils of war - rape as a weapon is unfortunately as old as time

        @Independent this article feels one sided no mention of #Rwanda & role in #war in #congo or of who the #Congolese #soldiers are fighting
