Why does MAG work in D.R. Congo?



Due to a series of armed conflicts that divided the Democratic Republic of Congo between 1996 and 2003, large parts of the country have suffered from fighting between government forces, different rebel factions and external militaries.

An estimated 3.3 million people are believed to have died as a result, and 2.3 million were displaced.

All along the former frontline, the remnants of conflict constitute a serious threat to the resident population, returnees and humanitarian organisations alike, as well as the ongoing peace process in the country.
