Vermont Students as Activists for the Congo

Several students from Saint Michael's College here in Vermont are making headway in their campaign to end U.S. support for Rwanda and Uganda. Both nations allegedly have made forays into the Congo and their soldiers have committed rapes and other atrocities. This effort is part of the Dear Hillary Campaign which was founded at the college. Early this year Secretary Clinton stated that the situation in the Congo was a matter of national security and it is hoped that advocacy such as this will help the U.S. live up to that assertion.
