Understanding the Crisis in Kivu

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the Great Lakes region, particularly Kivu, the study explores the historical divisions among the Kiyarwanda-speaking populations, including the Banyamulenge, Banyamasisi, and Banyaruchuru. It examines the current crisis in the DRC in light of local and international interests, especially post-genocide Rwanda and the citizenship crisis in Kivu. Mamdani proposes a dual program of action emphasizing global responsibility for Rwanda and a comprehensive research agenda addressing the state crisis in the DRC, advocating for justice, democracy, and reconciliation.
