What's Happening in the DRC?

In this episode, the Round Room team explores the current situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo. While some may call the situation a genocide due to the ethnic components involved, it is hard to make this conclusion due to the several other factors at play like politics, religion and economy. Expect to hear about the historical factors at the base of this conflict and learn of the conflict currently playing out in the border between the DRC, Rwanda, and Burundi. This podcast is hosted by Monica Rivera Sosa and Natalie Vasileff. We would love to thank our writers who put together the script for this episode: Iselin Bratz, Haley Clough, Hank Jones, and Melanie Pozo. We'd also love to thank our team of fact-checkers: Paloma Castrillo and Rocio Sola Pardo. And, of course, we'd love to thank our sound editor and designer, Aadi Sinha.
