ICG: DRC- Consolidating the Peace

International Crisis Group's latest report on the Democratic Republic of Congo states elections were a milestone in the peace process but much remains to be done to consolidate the gains. A return to full-scale war is unlikely but violence in Bas-Congo and Kinshasa in early 2007 with over 400 people killed and renewed threats of war in the Kivus show the country's fragility.

ICG: Northern Uganda- Seizing the Opportunity for Peace

International Crisis Group reports on peace negotiations between the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and the Ugandan government which still have a chance of ending one of Africa’s longest, most brutal conflicts. The present process benefits from greater - if still inadequate - external involvement, and has made some significant gains, notably removing most LRA fighters from Northern Uganda.
