The Nobel Peace Prize 2018 was awarded jointly to Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad "for their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict."
I wonder if there is a reason where this cruelity comes from except the current injust system and war. Is it the late effect of genocide and crimes committed from Belgians some generations later. Living In Europe I got the impression that many things e.g. so to say "injuries of people" are not solved just by passing of time.
A riveting account which almost left me to tears (and I don't even recall the last time that happened). I'm very glad for the likes of Dr. Denis Mukwege who are scattered all around the globe. Very inspiring indeed, thank you Dr. Denis Mukwege.
As long as women are the true victims of war we need men like Denis Mukwege to speak out for us like he does and has done for a long time. Never before has a Peace Prize been more justly awarded. What a speech! What a man! I respect you with all my heart and soul.
I am very impressed and moved to tears! And I wonder why I haven't known this hero before. Dr. Mukwege, lots of love, respect, good luck, and thousand thanks to you and your fellows ♥
City of Joy on Netflix moved me. I hate that I take things for granted a lot. Africa needs people like you. The world needs people like you. I hope I can be as courageous as you in my lifetime. May good things come your way.
I've known of this great man's work for a few years now. He never fails to move me. He exemplifies what we need our institutions to understand. That it's excavation of world resources comes at a horrific cost to the poor and weak, women, children and others. Mineral resources are sought world wide. Desolation and violence are the price. In awe of Sir Denis Mukwege. 😢😢😢
I watched this twice in the past year. It is difficult to hold in my tears. The struggles faced where I live versus most parts of the world are nearly incomparable. I often see people struggle to help a coworker out of being bullied, or a child being yelled at. Hearing what this man has said brings me mass comfort. He is able to do what is right in a place with much difficulty and fear. His speech along with most of the Peace prize laureates, remind me of what people need to be. I’m blessed to be capable of watching this in comfort. His speech is great fuel for betterment. Bless this man and all like him.
Long live Dr. Mukwege, long live Congo, long live all victims of war around the world. The day when we shall all enjoy and celebrate peace again is coming. Dr. Denis Mukwege, you are an angel of hope, thank you.
Rember my teacher showing us this speech during class, something just stuck with me and I ended up using it for my finals project, and improved my grade from a poor D to a strong A
This man is a hero. I hope his message will be heard... Bcs from being Congolese myself I hope and pray that our story, my precious Congo story and its struggles will be one day told, recognize and prized for it sacrifices, it pain, suffer, it cry and tears that is forgotten by the God, world and the humanity. Bcs from being the most richest country in the planet to the most poores population in the world . Is not fair or a word to describe nor a way to believe that such things happen and are happening in the world that we live in today.
God bless and protect you, Dennis Mukwege! You are among the most precious, most wonderful and most curageous people who have ever walked on this earth.
Believe in humans and in Mkwege, then make a change, yourself. That is what he is calling for, not only of the world’s leaders, but ALL consumers. Power in awareness and numbers is never to be underestimated. Let us all do what we can do!
Dr. Denis 👏👏 God bless you and the people of Congo and Africa. God bless the world and send his armies of Angels to protect the innocent and I pray he will cast fear in the hearts of the oppressors and make them stop their evil inhumane acts. Amen
Merci Docteur Mukwenge vous êtes une luer d’espoir. Un catalyseur effectif du changement que nous voulons tous voir. Pour ce service et ce dévouement: nous disons soyez bénis
Dr Denis Mukwege I honour you for your compassion and ability to speak out about the crimes against humanity that have destroyed the fabric of Congolese society. May God protect you and continue to give you ability to make the situation in DRC known internationally. I pray there will be an end to the indifference that allows these atrocities to continue and may the perpetrators be brought to justice. Thank you Dr Mukwege.
I'm so happy for Mr Mukwege...quite often conflicts like these are ignored by the international community and media simply because the countries affected are not of economic importance or a nuclear threat !! THANK YOU FOR HONOURING THIS HERO!
We need peace now, l'm impressed by you sir keep up the good fight that you are always doing l trust that peace is now and we will not stop until we see the above ...may the Lord our God be with us
Dear friend what the Dr said until now still , so please let us pray for DRC and be united in all the world and Africa so that we may fight against all leaders who behind the war of congo. We fight alone we don't have support and when we tried to fight for . Our lives become in dangers. We invite to you all who are behind the war in congo to stop 🛑 we tired for your complice. Svp stop war
All people need to know these kind of things, in order to being able to adapt their consumption-behavior via the money they exchange with producers in general!
Dr Denis..Hi.. I watch this a few days back but couldn't comment as my heart hurt too much...I cried too much...the pain was too much...I now pray for those woman ...even the ones not raped yet in Congo...i also prayed for the rapists that God hurt them back double fold as he said ...what you give out you will receive back double fold....i pray that everyone that reads this will pray the same...Doctor you are in my heart and in God's kingdom :) :) thank you for everything you have done as long as you could....praise God...halleluya!
This man is an exceptional person and an ambassador for people suffering around the world. He is a true hero. So incredibly brave yet so humble. Please read his book, The Power of Women. Lisez son livre, La Force des Femmes. You will learn a great deal.
I would have never seen this if my book club wasn't reading "Our Bodies, Their Battlefields" by Christina Lamb. It’s emotionally painful to read but important because of all the women, girls and literal babies still suffering. Dr. Mukwege's youngest patient is four months old.
This gentleman is a giant. He and his like stand between violence and horror for victims of war. This is what happens to the physically weak and vulnerable. Why we need enforceable human rights and criminal excellence in our world.
Believe in humans and in Mkwege, then make a change, yourself. That is what he is calling for, not only of the world’s leaders, but ALL consumers. Power in awareness and numbers is never to be underestimated. Let us all do what we can do!
I’m praying Oprah will help this angel’s message as a means to rescue all victims and create a new paradigm. The world is responsible for allowing such atrocities to happen under our noses. Even worse to capitalize on it. My heart aches for the victims he spoke about and even more for those who can not be rescued as we sit in our air conditioned homes or offices. Women need to rise up and take the role of alpha now. Let’s engage our inner momma bear and end sexual violence now!
Andy Jiao hard to say... it’s hard to say that this is real or just a claim made to project another black token as a Nobel Peace prize winner.. it seems they are becoming more and more political in terms to actual candidates over the years... Obama got one just for being a black president but yet he made no positive impact to our society... they also had Hitler as a Nobel Peace recipient... it’s hard to say if Nobel peace prize is actually a symbol of scholarly earning or a established reward given to people who make claims of Nobel causes... I’m sure there will be sex trafficking in Africa because slave trafficking is still happening in Africans the Middle East...
Andy Jiao either way this guy seems with good intentions so I wish him the best and think he is very intellectual speaking a language that isn’t his own which is an amazing achievement these days.
@@mrpumperknuckles1631 Congonese people were colonized by France and speak French as their first language (alongo with congonese)...... you must not know much about the world. Or maybe you just neglect Africa in ur history smh
Did not know that these events are happening, or continue. Horrifying. The man is passionate about his cause. And he is right. Inhuman sadists do this sort of harm to others. Sadists who should be, no they need locked up never to be free.
À quel point est-il ridicule, est-ce-que est il difficile pour vous Docteur Mukwege de leurs dire que les auteurs de ces actes sont rwandais ? qui ne sait pas ce qui se passe au R.D.congo ? "hypocrites" si tout le monde est complice de ce qui se passe et qu'ils pillent le R.D.congo
Sadly, that happens in all wars but the sexual violence in Africa is on another scale entirely. Unlike other wars where rape is a byproduct, it seems like African men wage war on women themselves. In many regions, 90% of women have been raped, even areas where there is no active war going on. Even babies get raped. Many women are mutilated and tortured in hideous ways, many are killed in remote areas and we never know it happened.
