Peace and Conflict Resolution

The Democratic Republic of Congo has been at war since 1996 up to now. Externally the war is supported by neighboring countries mainly Uganda and Rwanda and internally there are so many armed groups. There are so many causes which we need to address in order to live a peaceful country. What is unique is that young people are the most involved directly in various conflicts and wars. Root causes range from the lack of faire system to access power especially the whole election process, the external influences in order to loot the minerals, the lack of a strong security service and the Army, the absence of the authority of the state in various places, the access and ownership of land, the lack of development activities, the colonial injustices and lack of peaceful resolutions of conflicts are among some causes.

We are so much involved in peace activities at each level and at the same time advocate for peace and conflict resolutions with all actors in order to create better opportunities for development.
