History

This week, there have not been any pressing issues in the Democratic Republic of Congo, so to re-cap on the issues that have been the contributing factors that have put Congo in its state of desperation I will explain more of the civil unrest in the area as of now.
The three year civil war that took place in the DRC and is still going on unsupervised in certain areas of the region, is due to political uneasiness due to a desperate need for basic necessities such as water, access and control over rich minerals and other resources as well as various political agendas.
This has been fueled and supported by various national and international corporations and other regimes which have an interest in the outcome of the conflict.
The lack of aid to conclude all violent actions in the DRC is having a negative impact on the citizens as well as the civilians trust and support in the government.

  1. You've mentioned that the conflict "has been fueled and supported" by various national and international corporations. Could you explain more?

    A fuller history of the country and conflict would also be helpful. Perhaps you could use a BBC profile as a resource.
