Ben Affleck tours refugee camps in Congo

GOMA, Congo (AP) — Ben Affleck is talking to children and aid officials in refugee camps in war-torn eastern Congo in an effort to raise awareness of the conflict that has displaced at least 250,000 people. The actor has visited the Central African country four times since 2007 and also has made a documentary about its problems. “I’m not an expert in international affairs or diplomacy, but it doesn’t take that to see the tremendous suffering here,” he told The Associated Press on Thursday in Goma, the regional capital. “It’s not something that we as human beings can, in good conscience, ignore.”
