The Democratic Republic of Congo, nestled within the Great Lakes Region of Africa, is home to stunning natural beauty and vibrant cultures, but it has also been touched by decades of violence that has claimed the lives of nearly 6 million people. This panel will examine the root causes of the conflict and the important role civil society plays in developing sustainable peace. Panelists include women’s rights activist and Gatumba massacre survivor Adele Kibasumba, filmmaker and entrepreneur JD Stier, and refugee rights advocate Ally Ntumba. Join us to learn more about the ongoing situation and the concrete action steps you can take to support the Congolese people.
