The War in DRC

Date: March 06 - February 25

Time: 1pm

Location: LA 115

Description:

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is enormously rich in natural resources such as copper, gold, diamonds, and uranium. However, these valuable minerals are extracted by foreign multinational companies, who benefit more from them than the local people. Additionally, the DRC is embroiled in a conflict with militias from neighboring Rwanda in its eastern region, a war that has claimed millions of lives and persists despite international mediation between the parties at war. In this presentation, Jupuy N. Kukembila will provide an overview of the DRC, its people, and its vast mineral wealth. He will also explore the underlying causes of the conflict and the role of the international community in perpetuating the war.
