The crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo is often known as the ‘forgotten conflict,’ yet it is a war that has killed over 5 million people. This crisis, however, is not about numbers.

Famous for his portraits of Kylie Minogue, Kate Moss and the Queen, portrait photographer Rankin presents images from his visit to the Democratic Republic of Congo with Oxfam.

Rankin's images focus on the love and solidarity found in the midst of one of the world’s worst conflict zones. There are images and stories exploring romantic love, love lost, mother's love and the kindness of strangers, as well as photos taken by Congolese villagers with Rankin's guidance, providing an extraordinary insight into their everyday life.

We're calling on you to Share the Love and become part of one big caring community that is passionate about helping the people of the DRC and stopping the conflict. Please upload your picture to the From Congo with Love Flickr group. We will add your face to a virtual petition which will be handed to world leaders later this year.

Show how much you care about the plight of ordinary men, women and children in the DRC. Put yourself in the picture and join a growing movement of people who want to see an end to the conflict.
