Forced Migration Review issue 36, entitled ‘Democratic Republic of
Congo: Past. Present. Future?’ is now online at
http://www.fmreview.org/DRCongo/
The Democratic Republic of Congo is unfortunately synonymous with its
dreadful past and its terrible present, despite its beauty, complex
history and unachieved potential. Locked not only into its own internal
troubles but also into those of the Great Lakes region, it has provided
more than enough material on forced migration, violence and political
quagmires for the latest issue of FMR.
While the articles contained in this issue of FMR make grim reading,
they also offer glimmers of hope for better outcomes, at least
potentially, alongside analysis of how and why these things have been
happening. Authors come from Congolese civil society, UN agencies and
NGOs, Congolese and donor governments, and international research – and
include articles by the former UN Relief Coordinator John Holmes and the
former Humanitarian Coordinator in DRC Ross Mountain. This issue also
contains a further seven articles on other forced migration-related
subjects.
It will be published in English, French and Spanish, with a slightly
shorter edition in Arabic.
If you usually receive a print copy of FMR, you do not need to request
this issue unless you require multiple copies. (FMR issue 36 will be
distributed together with an FMR special supplement on HIV/AIDS,
security and conflict, which is already online at
http://www.fmreview.org/AIDS/.)
If you do NOT usually receive a print copy of FMR and would like to
receive a copy of FMR issue 36 for your organisation, or multiple copies
for distribution to partners and policy/decision-makers or for use at
conferences/workshops, PLEASE contact the Editors as soon as possible at
