The Democratic Republic of Congo: Background and Current Developments
The Democratic Republic of Congo: Background and Current Developments Ted Dagne Specialist in African Affairs February 4, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R40108 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress The Democratic Republic of Congo: Background and Current Developments Summary In October 2008, the forces of the National Congress for the Defense of the Congolese People (CNDP), under the command of General Laurent Nkunda, launched a major offensive against the Democratic Republic of Congo Armed Forces (FARDC) in eastern Congo. Within days, the CNDP captured a number of small towns and Congolese forces retreated in large numbers. Eastern Congo has been in a state of chaos for over a decade. The first rebellion to oust the late President Mobutu Sese Seko began in the city of Goma in the mid-1990s. The second rebellion in the late 1990s began also in eastern Congo. The root causes of the current crisis are the presence of over a dozen militia and extremist groups, both foreign and Congolese, in eastern Congo, and the failure to fully implement peace agreements signed by the parties. Over the past 14 years, the former Rwandese armed forces and the Interhamwe militia have been given a safe haven in eastern Congo and have carried out many attacks inside Rwanda and against Congolese civilians. A Ugandan rebel group, the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), is also in Congo, despite an agreement reached between the LRA and the Government of Uganda. In November 2008, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon appointed former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo as his envoy to help broker a peace agreement to end the crisis in eastern Congo. -

Terrorism in Africa: the Imminent Threat to the United States ”
Prepared Statement of Dr. J. Peter Pham Director, Africa Center Atlantic Council before the United States House of Representatives Committee on Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence on “Terrorism in Africa: The Imminent Threat to the United States ” Wednesday, April 29, 2015, 12:00 p.m. Cannon House Office Building, Room 311 Washington, D.C. Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Higgins, Distinguished Members of the Subcommittee: I would like to begin by thanking you not only for the specific opportunity to testify before you today on the subject of terrorism in Africa, but also for the sustained attention the United States House of Representatives has, in general, given to this challenge. In its oversight capacity, the House has been very much ahead of the curve over the course of the last decade and half and it has been my singular privilege to have contributed, however modestly, to the effort. It was at a 2005 briefing organized by the Subcommittee on International Terrorism and Nonproliferation of the then-Committee on International Relations, that al-Shabaab was first Page 1 J. Peter Pham Prepared Statement at Hearing on “Terrorism in Africa” April 29, 2015 mentioned as a threat not only to the security of Somalia, but also to the wider East Africa region and, indeed, the United States. The following spring, a joint hearing of the same Subcommittee on International Terrorism and Nonproliferation and the Subcommittee on Africa, Global Human Rights, and International Operations first raised the alarm about the expanding crisis in the Horn of Africa occasioned by the takeover of Somalia by Islamist forces, including al-Shabaab. -

There are various reasons that have been advanced as to why Uganda is in the DRC. These include the safeguarding of Uganda's security interests on her Western border, Museveni's desire to become a hegemonic power in the Great Lakes region, and the desire by the Museveni government to see a change in leadership in Kinshasa.
