Profiter de la paix …

Qui seront les bénéficiaires de l'accord de paix en RDC ?

L'accord de paix signé en juin 2025 entre le Rwanda et la République démocratique du Congo (RDC) sous l'égide de l'administration Trump suscite de vives inquiétudes quant aux intérêts qui vont en bénéficier. Plutôt que d'assurer une paix durable au peuple congolais, cet accord semble destiné à favoriser les intérêts commerciaux et financiers avides d'accéder aux vastes richesses minières du pays., Photo du haut : La RDC et le Rwanda signent l'accord de paix.

Profit off Peace?

Meet the Corporations Poised to Benefit from the DRC Peace Deal

The peace agreement signed in June 2025 between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) under the auspices of the Trump administration raises serious concerns about whom it truly serves. Rather than securing lasting peace for the Congolese people, the deal appears poised to benefit corporate and financial interests eager to access the country’s vast mineral wealth., Top photo: The DRC and Rwanda signed the peace agreement in Washington D.C. on June 27, 2025.

What We Can Learn from the Palestinian Resistance in the West Bank

As the eyes of the world have been on Gaza, violence in the West Bank has been escalating to near record levels. According to a report(link is external) by the United Nations Works and Relief Agency (UNWRA), 40,000 Palestinians in the West Bank have been displaced by Israeli forces in just the first two months of 2025, making this the largest displacement of civilians since 1967. These forced removals occur alongside the highest rates of Israeli settler terrorism in the West Bank in over two decades.

Tourism over Cultural Heritage

The Theft of Maasai Lands Destroys Ancestral Culture and Traditions

In a village just a few kilometers away from the Ngorongoro Crater – a top tourist destination in Tanzania – the Maasai celebrate Enkipaata – an ancient rite of passage – where boys become warriors as they transition into adulthood. The threat of forced evictions of over 100,000 Indigenous Maasai in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area now endangers this tradition.

From Abuse to Power

Ending Fortress Conservation in the Democratic Republic of Congo

From Abuse to Power: Ending Fortress Conservation in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Oakland Institute exposes conservation’s counterintuitive deep ties to the extraction of natural resources and abuse of Indigenous Peoples in the Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

De l’abus au pouvoir : mettre fin à la conservation-forteresse en République démocratique du Congo

Dans un nouveau rapport, De l’abus au pouvoir : mettre fin à la conservation-forteresse en République démocratique du Congo, l’Oakland Institute expose les liens profonds et contre-intuitifs entre la conservation et l’extraction des ressources naturelles et les abus envers les peuples autochtones dans l’est de la République démocratique du Congo (RDC). Depuis plusieurs décennies, la conservation de la nature dans le pays donne lieu à l’accaparement des terres et à la violence contre les communautés autochtones. Le gouvernement et les ONG n’ont pas su répondre au problème à ce jour.
