Democratic Republic of the Congo: The Giant with Feet of Clay

Gilles Gasser

A chapter in The Humanitarian Response Index 2008, 2009, pp 168-176 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract After decades of spiralling conflict, rampant anarchy, and the collapse of the state, 2007 was a year of relative stability in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Key political events took place in 2006 and 2007: the presidential and parliamentary elections, the formation of a new coalition government, and an institutional transition. Despite the violence, allegations of fraud, and suspicions of conspiracy surrounding this political process, Congolese institutions seem to be on a new track.
