Recurring issues in the Congo seem to revolve around violence and rape, with an emphasis on the latter. The Congolese government seems to either be unaware or unable to act on these issues. The UN has been acting with minimal severity among the Congo. The UN has taken up what appears to be a police role, catching a few of those responsible for various rapes and murders. Obviously, with the crime rate being so high, there is only so much the UN can legally do. Looking back, the way of life in the Congo has changed very little, even with the absence of a definite colonial power. People are still raped and murdered without repercussion, only this time there is no foreigner to blame.
