| Summary/Abstract |
By 1958 Israel considered ties with the Congo one of its most important economic and foreign policy objectives on the African continent. Yet, previous accounts of Israel's activities in Africa during the 1960s have left its relations with the Congo unexplored. This article examines the civilian and military dimensions of Israeli involvement in the Congo from 1958 to 1968, focusing primarily upon Israel's relationship with the regime in Leopoldville (renamed Kinshasa in 1966). This study evaluates the success of Israeli civilian assistance but demonstrates that Israel's principal contribution to the survival of pro-Western rule in the Congo remained that of significant military assistance which it extended to that regime both before and after Mobutu's 1965 coup.

| Summary/Abstract |
During the last years the DRC has made itself known in the world for terrible acts of violence committed by armed men - militia and the regular army - against the civilian population. The voices of the soldiers and combatants have so far been absent in the accounts of this violence. This silence is problematic, both because it makes it harder to understand such violence, but also because it reinforces stereotypes of African warriors as primitive and anarchic, driven by innate violence and tribal hatred. Enquiry into the particular discursive as well as material circumstances of the armed conflict in the DRC, which might better redress the complex and interrelated context in which 'people in uniforms' commit violence, is consequently impeded. The story we recount here emerges from soldiers within the main perpetrator of violence in the DRC today: the Integrated Armed Forces. The soldiers' interview texts challenge the dominant representation of soldiers and combatants in the DRC. The soldiers made sense of the prevalence of violence (in which they too had participated) in several interrelated ways, none of which reflected any expression of 'natural' (if dormant) violent tendencies, hatred or vengefulness for the enemy.

| Summary/Abstract |
From 2003 to 2006, the volatile political environment in the Democratic Republic of Congo conditioned the implementation of disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR), and army integration programmes, as well as the functioning of related coordination mechanisms. Programmes and modalities for coordination were constantly adjusted - in relation to the multitude of challenges that arose, divisions within the transitional government, and the interests of bilateral partners. To be effective, international partners should coordinate advocacy, leverage, planning and assistance for security sector reform (SSR) from the earliest phases of a peace process. Moving sensitive reforms in the security sector forward in a coordinated and coherent manner requires a continuous, unified and carefully prepared political effort by international partners

| Summary/Abstract |
Although the war in Congo officially ended in 2003, two million people have died since. One of the reasons is that the international community's peacekeeping efforts there have not focused on the local grievances in eastern Congo, especially those over land, that are fueling much of the broader tensions. Until they do, the nation's security and that of the wider Great Lakes region will remain uncertain
