I saw this on The NewsHour last night (emphasis added):
Speaking at a Geneva conference two weeks ago, Jan Egeland said: "Measured in human lives lost, I think that Congo is the number one problem in the world today." Egeland added that the number of casualties amounts to: "...a tsunami every month, year in and year out, for the last six years..."

[Imported comment* originally authored by Mike McD.] That's almost 13 million people killed in the last 6 years. Is that really the case?
