I don't know what is being done about the Congo. If you live in the US, write your Congressman, write the President. Ask them to act. Emails will work, so will phone calls.

Also write the black members of Congress, even if they don't represent you, because they may have more reason to care about Africans.

Also write or call the embassies of neighboring countries and countries that you think can help.

Also write or call the UN, if that's your preference.

Another thing that must be done and is imperative but won't show results for a while - no aid without accountability. No more throwing money at a problem just to see it wind up in Swiss bank accounts in the name of the local honcho.
