Call on the European Union to appoint a Special Representative for Peace in the Great Lakes Region
07/03/2024
While the European Union (EU) and its Member States state in their renewed strategy for the Great Lakes that "the security, stability and prosperity of the countries of the Great Lakes region remain a strategic priority for the EU", 17 European civil society organisations and platforms, including EurAc, are expressing their deep concern at the escalation of violence and the worsening humanitarian situation in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). They also question the inconsistent response of the EU and its Member States in the region.
