Congolese colonel sentenced in landmark rape case
A Congolese colonel was sentenced to 20 years in prison for crimes against humanity in a landmark rape case in the Central African country, considered to be the rape capital of the world.
An expert in the use of rape as a tool of war today said Congolese soldiers raped Central African women as ``punishment'' for supporting rebels who attempted to overthrow then president Ange-Félix Patassé.
