The United States has a vital role to play in promoting peace and stability in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Yet, too often, policies and partnerships have overlooked the plight of the Congolese people, allowing exploitation and aggression to continue unchecked.
At the US-CONGO Strategic Network, we work to shape U.S. foreign policy so it prioritizes accountability and justice. We call for strong measures — sanctions, arms embargoes, and tougher scrutiny of international deals that benefit from conflict. Our goal is a long-lasting, sustainable peace rooted in respect for human rights and sovereignty. Together, we can build a future where the United States is a force for good in Congo.
