Abstract: This paper aims to demonstrate why the geopolitics of the African Great Lakes region can be both an obstacle and an asset to the effective implementation of the AfCFTA in the DRC. It begins by noting the negative factors unfavourable to the successful implementation of the AfCFTA in the DRC before presenting the positive factors favourable to the operationalisation of the AfCFTA in this country. But also this paper considers that the negative factors of the African Great Lakes region are not inevitable-and that the positive factors, when properly operationalised, can override any obstacles to the implementation of the AfCFTA.
