Congo Assignment

Greetings,

This week is Congo week. You may have noticed, if you pay attention to the news, that the Democratic Republic of Congo is on the brink of fighting again. The civil and political unrest has been going on for years. Your top secret assignment is thus: understand the history behind the unrest in the DRC, and explain what the latest developments are. You should also be aware of the cost in terms of human life and human rights.

Job #1: Complete the handout using the following websites:

Job #3: Analyze the role the United Nations and the European Union are playing in the affair.
