The village of Mayi Moya, near Beni, has suffered from unreported violence of unknown severity.  In 2016, Newsweek reported 700 deaths in the area but acknowledged that local sources were claiming much higher numbers.

Today Dorcas messaged that she has accepted 8 orphans from Mayi Moya.  I’m not sure how recently they became orphans, but eastern Congo problems won’t be immediately solved with the end of violence.  It will be just be the start of the recovery.
