Opis

Why does war persist in the eastern DRC, despite agreements, mediation, UN missions and talk of peace? Is it a succession of local security crises, or the enduring expression of a regional and international geopolitical project? In Agression de la RDC: velléités expansionnistes ou prétextes sécuritaires, the author offers a radically political and strategic reading of the armed conflicts that have destabilized the DRC for over three decades. Far removed from humanitarian or strictly security-related narratives, this book demonstrates that the Congolese war is a structuring political fact, at the heart of the recomposition of power in the Great Lakes region and the global economy of strategic resources. Through a rigorous analysis of regional security doctrines, strategies of indirect interference, the ambiguous role of international organizations, and the strategic tolerance of major powers and multinationals, this book sheds light on the mechanisms of normalized aggression, often cloaked in the language of stabilization and the fight against armed groups.
