Never Again Is Now: The Erasure of the Banyamulenge in Eastern Congo

History is often written after tragedy has already occurred—but for the Banyamulenge in eastern Congo, it is unfolding in real time and we have the chance to intervene now.

I am a survivor of war and a member of the Banyamulenge community. I know what it means to flee with nothing but fear in your body and hope clinging to memory—to lose neighbors, to bury grief quietly, and to rebuild a life far from home.

The U.S. Congress and international community must act to protect refugees and isolated communities that are at risk of being destroyed.
