Africa says world set `` red line '' on chemical weapons that ca n't be crossed . She asks : Why does world have no such red line on abhorrent weapon of mass rape ? She says in Congo and Syria , rape is `` normalized , '' does n't draw threat of intervention . Wolfe : Rwanda should rethink ties to Congo , which backs Congo militia known for atrocities .
