“Congo in Limbo”, shows a population still suffering the effects of the conflict in everyday life : disease, malnutrition, under-development, murder and violence...In 2006, the Democratic Republic of Congo embarked on a course designed to restore political process, and reconciliation. But the rebuilding of the country was prevented by the failure to demobilize the militia and the failure to establish a new national army. The situation was critical in Eastern Congo, in the regions of Ituri and Kivu, with it’s great mineral wealth and it’s strategic position bordering Uganda and Rwanda. In 2007, 437,000 persons had to flee their villages to escape fighting, rape, and forced recruitment of child soldiers. Basic community values were attacked. After the last wave of violence in Kivu in 2007, the number of displaced people is estimated at 800 000 persons. Peace agreements drawn up in January 2008 have not changed the situation. One sees in Cédric Gerbehaye photographs, civilians are always the first victims, and armed groups and members of national military forces continue to make illegal gains from the country’s natural resources which provide a source of income to fund the conflict.
