Democratic Republic of the Congo Story

Who-UN forces, Rebels, Congolese refugees.
What-Up to a million refugees had to flee their homes
When- October 28, 08
Where-Democratic Republic of the Congo
Why- The rebels are advancing.

This news story is important because up to a million people will have to leave their homes. It is also important because with the rebels advancing, violence is soon to come. The UN is also going to have a hard time trying to bring peace to people who do not want to be peaceful. This conflict also has a very large magnitude and is affecting much of Central Africa. It is also relevant because this event only happened about a week and a half ago.
