Segurança humana e a crise migratória no leste da República Democrática do Congo (2019-2023)

Abstract

This article analyzes the conflict in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and its impact on human security and the migration crisis from 2019 to 2023. The article pursuits to identify the actions taken by the Félix Tshisekedi government to ensure security and prevent the migration crisis that ravages the eastern part of the country. For this purpose, we use qualitative research as our starting point, based on the deductive hypothesis that the Tshisekedi government's actions failed to pacify the region. The text demonstrates this hypothesis by exposing the worsening humanitarian crisis in the eastern DRC. It identifies that, in addition to the failure of Tshisekedi's administration, MONUSCO also failed in its mission to pacify the region. Therefore, the complexity of the conflict demands lasting solutions that depend on strengthening the Congolese state, consolidating its monopoly on the use of force in its territory, and the inclusion of affected communities.
