The Democratic Republic of the Congo is facing one of the worst humanitarian crises on the international stage as a record 6.9 million people are displaced from their homes, forcing them to seek asylum across Africa.

Since March of 2022, tensions have risen considerably, leading to the increased vulnerability of populations throughout the country, which brings us to the questions of how we got here, and where we may be heading next?
