The Pygmy Genocide: The Secret Murder of the Little People
1996
The civil war in the Democratic Rebublic of the Congo (DRC) starts as well as the genocide of the Pygmy peoples
2003
two tribal militias planned and implemented a campaign called "Effacer Le Tableau" or "Erase the Board," in which they systematically exterminated local forest pygmies.
2008
A leaked document revealed that forestry projects designed by the World Bank for the DRC completely ignored the rights of the pygmies
1994
The tribal Hutu Interahamwe slaughtered more than 30% of the pygmy population in their area, the largest percentage of any of the ethnic groups killed at the time. Yet most reporters missed that simple fact -- despite the fact that the extermination of the pygmies is in many ways similar to the Nazi massacre of Jews, and is justified by roughly similar appeals to theories of racial superiority.
1994-2014
Pygmies are being murdered, raped, eaten, by militas and the UN is doing nothing to stop it.
