Justice has yet to be served in the case of Bitondo Nyumba,a 56-year-old woman who died as a result of injuries she suffered when she was attacked and raped by government soldiers in May 2005. But with a new government recently taking office in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), now is the time to renew calls for justice.
