Africa Daily - Podcast autorstwa BBC World Service
A decades-long civil war has killed thousands and displaced millions in the eastern parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Neighbouring countries such as Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi have also been sucked into the conflict. DR Congo accuses Kigali of sponsoring the M23 rebels, which have recently escalated the conflict after a period of calm. Rwanda denies this, but President Kagame recently acknowledged he was preparing for the worst…with many people suggesting he meant a possible armed confrontation. However, on Wednesday leaders of the two countries met in Angola and agreed to de-escalate the situation. So is there hope of bringing the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo under control?
