The region of Goma has become an epicenter of violence and collective terror recently in the news. That has seemingly been all that it has been, but instead of having news that is heavily terrifying and has the public filled with fear, it instead has been filled with the cries of peace and of happiness for the Amani festival. Originally this festival was scheduled for last year but the violence prevented them from doing it. Now, with the suppression of the M23 artists and other entertainers prepared for to perform for peace. The festival ran from Feb. 14 to the 16th and excited the massive crowd that saw it, allowing them to forget the war torn time they were in and focus on the joy and peace that could be had.
