rough start and now it's even worse, when your wikipedia page has

Human rights

Main article: Human rights in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Further information: Sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Child soldiers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Military macho-violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and International Criminal Court investigation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

The eastern part of the country in particular has been described as the "rape capital of the world" and the prevalence of sexual violence there described as the worst in the world.[200][201]

You know it's not in a good place
