| Summary/Abstract |
The United Nations Organisation Stablisation Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUSCO) finds itself operating in an environment that is becoming increasingly complex. Its current involvement in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) may signify a realisation that the drafters of the mission's mandate may not have come to terms with significant shifts in the geopolitical landscape of the Great Lakes region. The anticipated drawdown and withdrawal of MONUSCO is expected to have serious implications for stability and peace in the DRC. Unless an internal solution with unequivocal support from the Congolese people is found, the continent will continue to be faced with a problematic Great Lakes region. Africa's cautious approach to the Congolese crisis will require it to deal with increasingly more difficult questions that may require radical reponses.
