Between 8 Nov 2021 and April 2022 AL Jazeera published a serial of
articles (except one i.e. an Al Jazeera team)
all by Canadian-French and better said Cree/Iroquois journalist Brandi
Morin about femicides of Canadian Indigenous women and girls of which each word is so
heartbreaking that it takes a lot of courage to read the whole serial. Still I challenge you to do so! I divided it according to the

<<German-funded inquiry into DRC atrocities slammed as ‘cover-up’
Photos appear to support the claim that Indigenous villagers were killed
in a drive to force them from Kahuzi-Biega Park.
A series of audio recordings, images and leaked documents obtained
exclusively by Al Jazeera’s Investigative Unit (I-Unit) appear to show
the failures of a German government-funded inquiry into reports of
killings at the Kahuzi-Biega National Park in the Democratic Republic of
the Congo (DRC). The Commission of Inquiry, which investigated
allegations that park guards and Congolese soldiers killed members of
the Batwa Indigenous community in the park between 2019 and 2021,
reported on June 1 that no widespread atrocities had taken place. The
inquiry was set up in April after a report published by the London-based
human rights organisation Minority Rights Group International (MRG)
documented a deadly campaign to expel Indigenous Batwa people from their
native land in the park.
The report concluded at least 20 members of the Batwa Indigenous
community were killed in the park by <joint contingents> of park guards
and Congolese soldiers in three waves of violent attacks.
A researcher and the journalist who authored the MRG report say that
since the report was published, they have been forced to go into hiding
after receiving a tip-off that armed men had been sent to kill them. A
series of photographs obtained by the journalist, Robert Flummerfelt,
and shared exclusively with the I-Unit, appear to show the bodies of
villagers in the park after alleged attacks by park guards and Congolese
soldiers. The photographs show several people who appear to have been
fatally shot and stabbed in the park after what Flummerfelt says were
violent raids between July 2019 and December 2021. The images, which Al
Jazeera was unable to independently verify, also depict a body that
appears to have been mutilated with a series of deep machete slashes
across its torso.
The journalist, Robert Flummerfelt, says he believes park guards and
Congolese soldiers carried out the raids as part of a coordinated
campaign to expel Indigenous communities from the park to make the area
more attractive for foreign conservationists and foreign tourists. He
alleges that at least 20 villagers were killed and Batwa women were
gang-raped. The Kahuzi-Biega National Park, which receives the majority
of its funding from the German government, is home to the critically
endangered eastern lowland gorilla, and it is one of the DRC’s most
important tourist attractions. The controversy over events at the park
escalated on June 1, when the German government-funded Commission of
Inquiry into the alleged killings dismissed Flummerfelt's claims and
found that park rangers and Congolese soldiers had not committed
widespread atrocities. The commission said park guards had been forced
to defend themselves against <armed> Batwa villagers, and that some
Batwa had been killed in crossfire when they were used as <human
shields> in clashes between park guards and poachers. The commission's
findings were condemned by Flummerfelt as <a cover-up. It can’t be
characterised in any other way,> he told Al Jazeera.>>
