Why so many people died in Democratic Republic of Congo?

Why still so many people died in Democratic Republic of Congo even after six years of its civil war?

People died, not because of gun, because of disease and hunger

Followed the location recording, I saw the women got her miscarriage and watched her surrounded by blood, and heard her weak voice, it was a terrific documentary opening, I had to admit that.

The Democratic Republic of Congo ended its civil war in 2002, however, up to date six years later, lots of civilians were still living in a horrible condition and still were many people dying.

Like the women described at the beginning, she would died if there was no anti-biotic medicine which carried by the doctor followed by a BBC journalist.

People were dying not because of guns, because of diseases and hunger, there was no food. A family were described in the documentary, have already lost six children in the last couple of years.

Local people were difficult to access health care facilities, Malaria and other diseases frequently cause death.

That is reason why still so many people died even six years later after end of its civil war.

Before the Fall -- Memorising Mark Speight

I could admit that when I read this article, by Jay Burridge, just feel a great sadness, and even let the tears flow.

The sadness coming from the loss of an excellent children's TV presentor, from Jay's lyric style of memorising his best friend, from the clearest awareness of how drag could kill a talented individual.

Who's Mark?

Jay remembered that when he first saw Mark, a muscular chap with peroxide hair, dressed to impress in a tight-fitting, three-piece pinstripe suit.

The funniest thing that Jay describes is one of Mark's trait, if he didn't know what to do or say, he'd just laugh and fumble about for comic effect.

After meeting Natasha Collins, also a children's TV presentor, Tasha replaced Jay becoming Mark's cloest friend.They were forever clowning about.

Death of Mark

The tragedy begins from Tasha's death, police suspects Mark and arrested him for further questioning, Jay and other concerned friends only got Mark's news from press.

Ultimately knowing that Tasha's death is drug-related.

...

Roughly 3 months later, Mark died just around the corner from Jay's family home to Paddington.

The contemplate that Jay and Mark's other concerned friends made is he had decided enough was ENOUGH.

Behind the death

For a person who lived his life in the spotlight, he couldn't manage to rebuild his life, and literally he lost everything.

Not only the love of his life, but his career,house,money and reputation.

Though he hadn't charged with any offence, the simple assoociation with drugs would completely ruin his life, and stay with him forever.

The word that I got a big shock from Jay's narration is what Mark told him: he had now understood what was meant by a living nightmare.
