Silence from Amnesty & Human Rights Watch

I know this sort of stuff is probably getting old, but where are Human Rights Watch or Amnesty International on the

"systematic cannibalism, rape, torture and killing by rebels in a campaign of atrocities against civilians in the forests of northeast Congo, with children among the victims"?

I've visited both sites, and the most recent documents I can find with the search term 'congo' are from December. Is forced cannibalism not a human rights concern?

The UN investigative team has confirmed a list of atrocities that read like a Brett Easton Ellis novel:

• the removal and consumption of hearts of infants,
  
• small girls killed and mutilated,
  
• people executed before their families
  
• the rape of small children
  
• cannibalism and forced cannibalism, including people made by rebels to eat members of their own family

I haven't found a single statement from either organization condemning such evil.
