The Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Dennis mcwiggy, works tirelessly and without giving in to fear for many years to heal and heal the wounds of women victims of rape in the forgotten war in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Two and a half months before decisive elections in his country, the Nobel Prize rulers rewarded a voice among the most critical voices of President Joseph Kabila, who had come to resonate at home and Abroad.

"man ceases to be ansa when he loses the ability to make love and give hope to others," said Doctor Mokogi in 2015 for staff at the Banzi hospital, which is run by the South Kivu provincial capital Bukavu.

A 63-year-old doctor, mokugui, is the son of a clergyman, married and August five Children. He finished his studies in France in Angers and then returned to his country and decided to stay there in the darkest Hours.

A European who has worked with him for several years in Banzi said that he is a believer and he is doing his job "with the guidance of his value and does not know how to surrender."

Because of his struggle for the restoration of the dignity of the Kivu women, He is a spokesperson for the millions of civilians threatened by armed groups or criminal gangs in Kivu that are rich in coltan used in the automotive battery industry and are entering the electronic equipment industry.

He himself was targeted and escaped in October (october 2012) from an assassination attempt. After a brief period in europe, he returned to Bukavu in early 2013.

He travels twice a year and this year he has been assigned to visit Iraq to see the conditions of the victims of Rape. Apart from that, he resides at the Banzi Foundation under the Permanent protection of the United Nations Mission in the CONGO.

"he is a straight and honest man, but he does not tolerate with any negligence and seeks to make Banzi a prestigious centre with recognized International standards," said the doctor at the Banzi hospital Levi Lohrere. Its foundation receives funding from the European Union.

Born on March (march) 1955 in bukavu, while the Congo was a Belgian colony, the third was among nine Children. After studying medicine in neighboring burundi, he returned to a town to be trained at Limera Hospital on the central plateau in South Kivu.

Discover the pain of women who do not receive the necessary care and constantly suffer from post-natal injuries that make them prone to permanent urinary incontinence.

After specializing in obstetrics and gynecology in france, he returned to Limera in 1989 to revive the gynaecology Department.

When the first DRC war broke out in 1996, the hospital was completely destroyed. In 1999, he founded the Panzi hospital, which was designed to facilitate childbirth for Women. the centre soon became a rape clinic with the sinking of Kivu in the horror of the Second Congo War (1998-2003) and the crimes of mass rape.

This  "war on women´s bodies" as the doctor calls it, is still going on today.  "in 2015 we noticed a significant decline in sexual violence, but it has been rising since the end of 2016-2017," the doctor said in an interview with Agence France Presse in March last March.

A deep and serene voice in europe, the United States and asia, Kouphi mukwígi, whose activism and dynamism in 2014 led to the formation of a masculine feminist movement called "in-maine Kongo " (v-men Congo).

He is involved in a global campaign that calls on major multinationals to monitor supply chains to ensure that they do not purchase "blood ore" that contributes to the violence in eastern congo, which is related to the trade in Coltan Ore.

Since 2015, while the Democratic Republic of the Congo is mired in a political crisis punctuated by violence, the "man who heals women´s wounds" is denounced in a documentary about his struggle with this title, "the climate of persecution (...) and the narrowing of the space of fundamental freedoms" in his country.

At the end of last June (june), Makugui encouraged the Congolese to "peacefully struggle" against the Joseph Kabila regime and called on them not to bet on the elections scheduled for the next 23 December (december), which he said, "we already know that they will be forged."

"people who do not like us are in response to the Kinshasa boycott of a humanitarian conference on the Democratic Republic of the congo," he told Agence France Presse in March last March.

To those who think that he is interested in politics, he says that most of his attention is focused on Panzi patients, but he will never abandon his right to express his Opinion.
