About

Congo Watch is an independent, English-language news site dedicated to one of the world's most under-reported crises: the ongoing conflict and humanitarian emergency in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Millions of people have been displaced by fighting in eastern DR Congo, yet the story rarely reaches international audiences. Our goal is simple: to make it easier to follow what is happening — the armed conflict, the humanitarian situation, health emergencies, regional politics and the economics of Congo's minerals.

How we work

Each article is written to summarise developments reported by established news organisations and humanitarian agencies. Every story links to its original source so readers can verify the facts and read further. Articles are reviewed by a human editor before publication, and we aim for a neutral tone.

We are not affiliated with any government, political party, company or armed group.
