Abstract
Since 1994, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has seen a mass movement of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) within its borders. The impact of more than 1.2 million Rwandan refugees coming into Congo following the Rwandan genocide in 1994 drastically affected the eastern region and brought international media attention with it. The internal politics of the DRC have been significantly transformed since that time with the end of Mobutu’s “kleptocratic” regime, the sudden rise to power of Laurent Desire Kabila, and finally the new leadership of his son, Joseph Kabila. Subsequently, the DRC has witnessed its own movement of populations, stimulated by internal violence and civil war.
