Intense battles between the Congolese army and M23 rebels are causing displacement and tension in the region. The rebels are closing in on the capital of North Kivu, leading to a surge of people seeking basic necessities in Goma. The upcoming withdrawal of UN peacekeepers at the end of the year is expected to further exacerbate the situation.
The root causes of this conflict and the possibility of achieving lasting peace will be discussed on the show. Adrian Finighan will be joined by guests including Patrick Muyaya Katembwe, Lawrence Kanyuka, Crystal Orderson, and Fred Bauma to provide insights from various perspectives.
