DRC eastern Congo security crisis

Entities: Democratic Republic of Congo · Pan‑African Parliament · United Nations Security Council · Aimé Boji Sangara · Rwanda

Overview

During July 2026, the Democratic Republic of Congo's ongoing security crisis in its eastern provinces continued to attract attention.

By the end of the month, the DRC government sought to raise the issue internationally, urging the Pan‑African Parliament to examine a mission report on North and South Kivu and preparing to use its rotating presidency of the UN Security Council in July to spotlight the crisis and allege continued Rwandan involvement.
