M23 Movement, Rwandan Military and the War in Congo: A Call for Peace

Toussaint Kafarhire, S.J,  the current President of the African Studies Association of Africa, ASAA; political scientist, and expert on social justice, religion, democracy and peace, political violence and conflicts in Africa Great Lakes Region, analyzes the unfolding crisis and war in Congo. Prof Kafarhire helps us to understand the complexities of this destructive war, the people responsible for this unacceptable situation and suffering, and how peace can be restored in the Congo. Together with Kafarhire, we call for an end to the conflict. We call for dialogue among all the stakeholders. We appeal to the Rwandan government to withdraw its forces from Congo, and appeal for respect for human lives and  a ceasefire to give peace and dialogue a chance.
