in the eastern congo, that conflict has led to the deaths of 6 million people. these are serious issues we are dealing with. just because it happens to be a british company doesn't make it , whether it's an armed militia or multinational -- judy: who shot you? emmanuel: we were dealing with this issue, and around that, a whole series of conflicts were pting.ting -- eru i was perhaps not sufficiently prudent. i was coming back to the park after having submitted the inquiry report on the oil company, and some people were waiting for me at the side of the road. they opened fire on my vehicle. i wound up with a bullet in my chest and my stomach. i was able to get out of the car and into the forest, and some local farmers picked me up and got me out of that area. i was very lucky. a local hospital with some remarkably good surgeons. that was my lucky day. judy: very much so. wouldn't you say? ofhink we are all kind silent hearing the story. -- it each one of you don't know how you move on from that, because it is such a horrendous thing. public servants, law enforcem

[laughter] howard: they are laughing at you, don't worry. emmanuel: it gained its political independence in 1960, but it never gained its economic independence. the reason for that is it only exports raw materials, and that is what keeps people in poverty. one of the main reasons is that it has no industry. it's only through electrification that you can do it. by doing that, you can reach many more people. what we find is that for every megawatt of electricity you provide for rural communities, you can create 1000 jobs. that's a lot. virunga national park, from the rivers flowing out of it, can create 100 megawatts. that is 100,000 jobs. one million people would benefit from that. you are beginning to have an impact at that level. that is how we would do it. it's very straightforward. it's very simple. it does requir

[applause] i'm glad i don't work for the world bank. i'd be fired. [laughter] true. i think these are people who need to go spend a little time in the field. to answer your question, i have my cheat notes -- on going to give you two answers. they are very different. in 2003, in south sudan outside -- i can't think of the town -- i went to visit these farmers, this group, and i was sitting with the elders. it's kind of funny. something came out of this much later. i asked them what to their biggest problem was. i was expecting a couple different answers. they said the lra. i said, what do you mean? they come in. they burn our crops. then they steal some of our kids. i thought, wow. 10 years later, my good friend shannon who is here got is involved in counter-lra activity, which was a gre
