Join the African Students Organization (ASO) and the Center for African Studies for a virtual panel discussion on the ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). With rising tensions in the Great Lakes region, this forum will explore the historical roots of the crisis, the role of regional powers, Western involvement, and the humanitarian impact. Engage with experts as we unpack the complex dynamics of resource control, ethnic tensions, and global interests shaping the future of Africa’s second-largest country.
