The size, resources, and location of the
Democratic Republic of Congo have an impact on all of
Central Africa. The country has unexplored mining resources,
massive agricultural potential, and a population of more
than 60 million inhabitants. The second largest country in
Sub-Saharan Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo borders
nine countries and has complex economic, migration, and
political relations with each of them. Its development has a
significant impact on the economic growth and political
stability of the continent. The international community has
a long-standing involvement in the country. During the cold
war, Western countries supported the Democratic Republic of
Congo, despite its poor economic policies and political
repression. Following the end of the cold war, foreign
interest declined, reemerging around the turn of the
century. In the last 10 years, the international community
has invested considerable resources to stabilize the country
through international peacekeeping efforts. Rising commodity
prices have also ignited interest in the country's
unexploited natural resources. |
