The DRC Crisis refers to a series of ongoing conflicts and humanitarian issues in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), primarily stemming from political instability, ethnic tensions, and competition for resources. It includes various armed conflicts involving government forces, rebel groups, and foreign militias, resulting in significant loss of life, displacement of populations, and widespread suffering. The crisis has roots in the Rwandan genocide of the 1990s, which led to an influx of refugees and contributed to the destabilization of the region.
