Conditional Critical is an ongoing MSF project designed to highlight the plight of those caught up in the conflict in Eastern Congo.

Violent conflict has plagued this region for more than a decade. Hundreds of thousands of people are on the run, fleeing the violence in North Kivu, South Kivu and Orientale provinces. People are frightened. Many are sick or wounded. Others have been harassed or raped, or have had everything they own stolen.

The most recent additions to the Condition Critical site are four multimedia slideshows from duckrabbit (you can view them at the bottom of the homepage). As you may know, Benjamin, one half of duckrabbit, is also a co-founder of this site, so I won’t say too much about them for fear of embarrassing him, though I particularly liked the fact that they use the real voices and testimony of those caught up in the conflict.

There’s also a short history of the conflict in Eastern Congo and a series of eyewitness reports and testimony.
