Download Is there a solution to violence in the DRC?
The Democratic Republic of Congo is looking for help from it’s neighbours to solve the problem of rebel militias in the east of the country. The government recently imposed temporary martial law in the troubled eastern provinces of North Kivu and Ituri - a region that has more than one hundred known armed groups. These groups have been responsible for thousands of deaths and led to the displacement of millions of people. A delegation from the Ugandan army recently arrived in the region to help set up a joint operation. And the Rwandan President, Paul Kagame, has offered his support in the country’s struggle to restore peace in the region. In today’s episode of Africa Daily Nancy Kacungira looks at whether there’s a solution to the violence in the country.
