Democratic Republic of Congo: What chance of peace?

The African country where war killed 5 million people in a conflict that ended only fifteen years ago is in trouble again. What will it take to keep the peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo? The DRC has one of the biggest UN peace-keeping force anywhere in the world. Why isn’t it helping? Joining us at the Roundtable is Ugo Solinas, Senior Political Affairs Officer at the United Nations Department of Peacekeeping Operations; Ben Shepherd, Consulting Fellow to the Africa programme at Chatham House; Francine Mukwaya Sodi, founder of Kitunga Ya Mboka, a health and education community organisation based in the DRC; and Jordan Anderson, a Country Risk Analyst on the Africa team at IHS Markit. Roundtable is a discussion programme with an edge. Broadcast out of London and presented by David Foster, it's about bringing people to the table, listening to every opinion, and analysing every point of view. From fierce debate to reflective thinking, Roundtable discussions offer a different perspective on the issues that matter to you. Watch it every weekday at 15:30 GMT on TRT World.
