Africa Faith and Justice Network, In late May, the provincial government of the South Kivu province and the church in the eastern Congo raised the alarm, stating that they had evidence of the imminent preparation of a war against the Congo coming from the east. The Democratic Republic of the Congo has always been at war at all fronts. Who are its enemies? An analysis reveals three., The first major project of Congo Global Action (CGA)took place from March 20 -22 in Brussels. CGA members in Brussels organized the conference entitled – Congo: After the elections, next steps? The International Rescue Committee (IRC) was the main host, with support from several student clubs. Together, they organized the successful conference at the Catholic University of Louvain la Neuve. More than 100 people attended the three-evening conference. The majority of the attendees were university students and first and second generation Congolese immigrants to Europe., n the May/June 2007 newsletter, Jacques Bahati wrote “the foreign multinationals [have] been looting Congolese natural resources, leaving nothing to the people and nurturing war by arming rebel factions.” During my time at AFJN, I have been researching one such example: the mining industry in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and its effects on the DRC’s water supply.
