CHARLOTTE, N.C. — By day, Sylvester Ngoma teaches high school technology classes.

At night, he propels himself into the war bleeding in his native Congo.

The north Charlotte resident spends much of his free time on a Web site he created in 2000 about one of the most violent places on earth.

He is among a growing number of African natives using the power of the Web to report news, call for international support and challenge governments.

The Web site, congovision.com, is now one of the largest such sites run by a native Congolese. It attracts as many as 100,000 visitors a month from across the globe.

“The Congo has been suffering from the complicity of silence,” said Alafuele Kalala, a 2006 Congolese presidential candidate and biochemist working in Washington, D.C. “Web sites like his are extremely important because slowly more people are becoming aware of what is happening in the Congo — the extent of the suffering.”

Congovision tries to follow every twist and turn of the conflict using daily dispatches from a network of sources inside the country.

Ngoma, 43, interviews politicians and academics. He receives alerts from human rights groups, political parties and nongovernmental organizations. He publishes photos often not seen in mainstream outlets.

“I have a good life here,” he said. “But every day you hear on the news: Today, 300 people killed. Today, they buried a woman alive. You see pictures of people shot and raped … I want the conflict to end.”

Ngoma fled the Congo for the United States in 1996. The former English as a Second Language teacher has since watched from afar as his country crumbled and his people suffer from hunger, disease and genocide. More than 5 million have died.

In 1999, he had returned to the Congo to teach at a technology workshop when he was approached and asked to do something to help his country.

So he launched a Web site.

He now spends hours every day scouring African, British, French, Belgian and U.S. media for news.

Ngoma works out of his living room. He writes and does interviews for his online radio show on his living room table.

He tapes them with an $80 recorder that sits on top of a CD player he uses for music during breaks.

He edits the interviews with a $100 program on his PC.

He recently spent over a week writing and rewriting a column entitled “Root Cause of Instability and Genocide in Eastern Congo.”

“I don’t go more than two or three days without taking a peek at it,” said Raphael Basisa, a Congo native and real estate investor in Charlotte. “Congovision is the only place we can get credible information.”

Now an American citizen, and the father of a daughter still in Africa, Ngoma says he’s frustrated that the world has not done more to stop the conflict.

“Every month 45,000 people die,” Ngoma says. “This is the deadliest conflict since the Second World War. When is the world going to stand up and say enough is enough?”
