Summary/Abstract |
THERE HAS BEEN no stable peace for a long time now in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC or DR Congo), the key Central African country. Latent war in its eastern provinces has been going on for longer than one decade wiping off its democratic achievements and impeding the country's development. Arbitrary actions of the military, mass rapes, tortures, and the turning into slaves of young children and teenagers make thousands of people abandon their homes and flee for safety.1

Summary/Abstract |
THE YEAR 1960 has come to be known as the Year of Africa as 17 states of the Black Continent became independent that year, throwing off the chains of colonialism. Among them was the Belgian Congo, the then name of today's Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo), the world's most populated Francophone country and, in terms of area, the largest country in Sub-Saharan Africa. The Belgian Congo became independent on June 30, 1960. Today, June 30 is DR Congo's main national holiday.

Summary/Abstract |
THE FIRST Russia-Africa summit, which took place on October 23 and 24, 2019 in Sochi, was one of the most important foreign policy events of the outgoing year (the present authors had the privilege to attend this important international forum). Russia hosted a successful top-level meeting and established dialogue with an entire continent. The summit was attended by delegations from all 54 African states. Moscow took advantage of the occasion to deliver its message: "Russia is returning to Africa." And it is returning as a good old friend, as well as a reliable and time-tested partner.
