Abstract |
|
|
| This study attempts to analyse the origins of the ongoing crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which
has escalated recently, specifically since the beginning of 2024, between the Congolese armed forces and various armed
groups in the east territory of the country located in the centre of the African continent, a territory rich in natural and mineral
resources. The study attempted to explain the roots of this crisis and its early stages, and also focused on the actors involved
in the conflict in eastern Congo, whether these actors were internal as Mar 23 Movement or regional such as Rwanda, which
ultimately leads to creating a vision to understand the overall aspects of the conflict and its entanglements, then attempts to
reach to the appropriate approach, that could help us to reduce conflict dynamics and avoid another regional war within this
area, which already suffering from severe turmoil and crises; Such as historical injustices, weakness of the governance
structure, legacy of the genocide in Rwanda that was transmitted to Kinshasa, the presence of armed and rebel groups, and
the role of neighboring countries in this context in fueling or calming the crisis.
Finally, the study recommends that resolving the crisis in eastern Congo requires a comprehensive approach that addresses
the root causes of the conflict, promotes good governance, and provides effective solutions. Strengthen the power and
effectiveness of institutions, promote economic development, and prioritise the protection of civilians and human rights.
Humanity. However, achieving lasting peace and stability in the region remains a daunting challenge.
