A further look at rebel-to-party transformation in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Since the mid-1990s, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has witnessed several instances of armed conflict, the resolution of which has entailed efforts to bring about the political transformation of rebel movements behind those insurgencies. This article analyses the failed transformation of the National Congress for the Defence of the People (Congrès National pour la Défense du Peuple, CNDP), the rebel group behind the Third Congo War (2006-…
From rebels to politicians
This article analyses the transformation of two former Congolese rebel groups, namely the Congolese Rally for Democracy–Goma (RCD-Goma) and the Movement for the Liberation of Congo (MLC), into political parties following the conclusion of the Second Congo War (1998–2003) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). It is argued that three sets of factors influenced the process of the political transformation of the RCD-Goma and the MLC. These f…
TheMouvement du 23 Marsand the dynamics of a failed insurgency in the Democratic Republic of Congo
This article analyses the link between the decision by the Mouvement du 23 Mars (M23) to occupy the city of Goma in November 2012 and the group's demise a year later in the hands of the revamped Congolese national army supported by the Intervention Brigade of the United Nations. The article argues that the military defeat of the M23 presents peace stakeholders in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the Great Lakes region with a valuable op…
Warning whom, for which response

From Conflict to Ever-Eluding Peace
On June 30, 2010, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) celebrated fifty years of independence. From President Kabila's speech to the common feeling shared by ordinary Congolese throughout the cou
Monuc and the quest for peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo
When MONUC (the Mission de l'Organisation des Nations Unies en République Démocratique du Congo) was first deployed in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in late 1999, the territorial integrity of the DRC was at stake as the country was divided into autonomous fıefdoms controlled by the national government and several rebel groups. Concomitantly, the country also played host to a number of foreign national armies as well as non-state armed gr…
Challenges for a return to civilian rule in Guinea
More than a year after the death of then President General Lansana Conté in December 2008 and the military takeover by the Conseil National pour la Démocratie et le Développement hours later, the political transition in Guinea remains plagued by major uncertainties. The botched assassination of the President, Captain Moussa Dadis Camara, by his aide de camp, Lieutenant Aboubacar Sidiki Diakité, on 3 December 2009 has exacerbated the political cri…

Whose responsibility to Protect? Reflection on the dynamics of an ‘abandoned disorder’ in Somalia
Since 1991, Somalia has become the epitome par excellence of a collapsed state. In this situation, one is tempted to seek for the spheres or authorities entrusted with the responsibility to protect in that country. The quasi-abandonment of the ongoing ‘disorder’ in Somalia by major players in the international arena has simply meant the total inability of its Transitional Federal Government to survive a potential withdrawal by Ethiopia. This is c…
The ‘one-plus-four’ formula and transition in the Democratic Republic of Congo
In the aftermath of the signing of the ‘Accord Global et Inclusif’ (AGI) in Pretoria on 17 December 2002, not much was expected of President Thabo Mbeki's ‘imposed political monster’. In effect, after Mbeki came up with his ‘final plan’ providing for a transitional presidency made up of a president and four vice-presidents, many blamed ‘Mbeki's ignorance of Congolese political intricacies’. Mbeki's ‘one-plus-four’ formula was not only said to be …
