27 April 2006: Long-term development in DR Congo depends on lasting peace
GOMA, DR Congo, 27 April 2006 – Over the course of five days earlier this month, our small group travelled through eastern DR Congo, visiting Bunia, Beni and finally Goma, the largest town in the Ituri region. It was clear that UNICEF is providing truly lifesaving emergency interventions on the ground in these war-torn areas. But any hope of moving from humanitarian aid to long-term development will depend on achieving peace here.
