THE CONGO TRAP

Viac o knihe

The book delves into the ongoing complexities of the Democratic Republic of Congo's social conflict, despite a seemingly hopeful 2014. It argues that the UN Stabilization Mission (MONUSCO) is ill-equipped to tackle the root causes of instability, such as land disputes and societal fragmentation. Highlighting the challenges faced by peacekeeping efforts, the author contends that the UN's involvement has inadvertently deepened the conflict, particularly following the controversial 2006 elections, which undermined necessary reforms for true stabilization.
