　こちらの場合、各勢力の間の交渉・対話は一応可能で、国際的な取り組みに一定程度の対応がなされている様子。

「The Special Envoy also paid tribute to Angolan President João Lourenço, who also heads the AU, for his efforts under the Luanda process to lift Rwanda’s defensive measures against the DRC and to neutralize the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) armed group.

The Special Envoy also acknowledged the Doha initiative, led by Qatar, welcoming a meeting last month between the Presidents of the DRC and Rwanda as well as consultations between delegations from the two countries and the M23.

「She noted that the rate of sexual violence against children has reached "shockingly high levels.” More than 40 per cent of the nearly 10,000 cases of rape and sexual violence reported in January and February involved children.」

　―ハイチじゃ80％だっけ？ということを思い起こしたり―いやあまあ、比較対象がダメだというのはその通りなのだが、紛争地帯の話に慣れると…基準がおかしくなって…。
