Seizing This Moment
of Hope: Towards a Secure Future in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Seizing This Moment of Hope: Towards a
Secure Future in the Democratic Republic of the Congo argues
that increasing security for civilians is the most pressing
humanitarian priority as the situation in the Democratic Republic of
the Congo improves. The report calls on the international community and
the Congolese government to end the violence by strengthening the
Congolese armed forces, expanding the UN peacekeeping force in the
country and enforcing an existing embargo on arms and natural
resources. The report also provides recommendations on how the country
can continue to maintain progress after the presidential runoff
election on October 29 by providing concrete steps for improving
humanitarian assistance, funding and coordination.Read the press release.
