The Disasters Emergency Committee has just launched an appeal for funds for the conflict in the Congo.
Tomorrow, my brother (who works for a worldwide charity) is flying out to the Congo to get his organisation's part of the programme set up for a few weeks.
I will have to admit this is a little worrying. Still, he has spent much of his adult life in disaster zones (hopefully as the effect, not the cause) - Sudan, Sri Lanka, Rwanda, Somaliland - so I guess he'll do ok.
