Friends of the Congo, The African Great Lakes Action Network and Africans Rising will host a discussion on peace and justice in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Great Lakes Region on the 10th anniversary of the United Nations Mapping Exercise Report. Panelists will discuss the measures needed from the international community to address questions of impunity, lack of accountability and justice in the Congo and the Great Lakes Region of Africa. This discussion is of particular importance in the wake of the Rwandan government's illegal rendition and jailing of Paul Rusesabagina, the hero of Hotel Rwanda and the death threats levelled against Congolese Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Denis Mukwege.
Panelists:
Nii Akuetteh - Founding Executive Director, African Immigrant Caucus
Kambale Musavuli - Analyst, Center for Research on the Congo
Claude Gatebuke - Co-founder and ED of African Great Lakes Action Network
Judi Rever - Author of In Praise of Blood
Moderator: Emira Woods, Founding Member, Africans Rising
