War returns to the DRC

with Brendon Verster, Theo Klein and Jervin Naidoo | Online | February 13, 2025

Conflict has escalated in the eastern DRC after March 23 Movement (M23) rebels seized Goma – the largest city in the eastern DRC and North Kivu’s capital – at the end of January. Unlike their brief 2012 occupation, M23 is now better armed, backed by Rwanda (despite Kigali’s denials), and facing exhausted Congolese forces. With peace talks failing, tensions threaten to spill over into Burundi, Rwanda, and Uganda, risking a third Congo war. Join us as we explore the conflict’s political and economic impact on the DRC and its neighbours.

Webinar
Africa: What to expect from elections in 2023

with Pieter Scribante, Louw Nel, Francois Conradie and Zaynab Mohamed | Online | January 31, 2023

Thirteen African countries are scheduled to hold presidential or legislative elections this year. This webinar will focus on the four elections of greatest potential impact: Nigeria, home to the largest population in Africa; Zimbabwe, where the fractious and unloved Zanu-PF has already unleashed violence on its opponents; Gabon, where President Ali Bongo may try (again) to cheat to get a third term; and the DRC, where armed conflict is complicating the already massive task of registering 50 million voters across a territory the size of Western Europe. We will also touch on the elections in Eswatini, Libya, and Madagascar.

Africa Watchlist 2023

with Jee-A van der Linde | Online | December 6, 2022

Africa’s economic resilience will be tested in 2023 as the west and east battle it out for the fastest-growing region. What are the factors that might precipitate recessions in the continent’s largest economies, and where could the next debt restructuring take place? A flare-up in tensions may lead to conflict between the DRC and Rwanda, jeopardising economic integration within the East African Community. Zimbabwe heads to the polls next year – will we see meaningful change this time? In this webinar we will take a closer look at these key themes for Africa in 2023.
