this morning i got an email early this morning about a little girl who's three-- her name is chantel-- who was on her way to the hospital. she had been raped by a gang. >> hinojosa: she was three years old... >> yeah. >> hinojosa: ...and raped... >> ...by a gang, and she died on the way to the hospital. now, just imagine what kind of rape that has to be to murder you. when i first heard the stories from the congo from an extraordinary man named dr. mukwege, i literally couldn't believe it. like, i have been in bosnia, i've been in afghanistan, i've been in haiti; i've been in some pretty rough places where there's enormous violence, but maria, what's going on in the congo... and it's an economic war. it is fueled by the west's need for coltan and other minerals which actually fuel our cell phones, fuel our computers. so basically, it's the west, again, doing a kind of economic colonialism which is plundering the minerals of the congo. and the way that happens is that the militias go in and they rape and destroy the communities, the communities flee, and they take over the mines. >> hi
