drc: PEACE TOMORROW?

This paper offers analysis and political reflection that tries to look behind the issues in the Congo and identify the roots of the problems. Some of the issues addressed is the present situation in North Kivu against the background of the history of the region and the political, social, economic and cultural situation of the South. It is claimed that in this region people speak too often in empty slogans without touching the concrete reality that the population is experiencing, and especially without talking about the failures of civil society.
