What’s Next for the Congo? With H.E. Georges Nzongola-Ntalaja

May 15, 2025 – On January 23, M23 rebels launched an offensive on Goma in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, reigniting a conflict that has plagued the Great Lakes region and drawn in neighboring African countries since the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Now, on the brink of another multinational Congo War, the region and the world wait to see what comes next.

We sat down with a former UN Ambassador from the DRC to explore the growing conflict, the involvement of international actors like the U.S. and China, and possible paths to peace.
