Charu cha Congo, panji pa Chingelezi, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), panji kuti Congo-Kinshasa panji kuti Zaire, ni charu icho chili ku Central Africa. Kuyana na caru, DRC ni caru caciŵiri pa vyaru vikuruvikuru mu Africa, na ca 11 pa vyaru vikuruvikuru pa caru cose. Mu charu ichi muli ŵanthu pafupifupi 112 miliyoni. Msumba ukuru wa charu ichi ni Kinshasa. Charu ichi chili na mphaka na Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania (kujumpha Nyanja ya Tanganyika), Zambia, Angola, the Cabinda enclave of Angola na South Atlantic Ocean.
Charu cha DRC, icho chili mu chigaŵa cha Congo Basin, ŵanthu ŵakakhalanga mwenemumo vyaka 90,000 ivyo vyajumpha.[6]Kumanjiliro gha dazi, Ufumu wa Kongo ukalamuliranga chigaŵa cha mumphepete mwa mlonga wa Congo kwambira m'ma 1400 m'paka m'ma 1800. Ku chigaŵa cha kumpoto na kumafumiro gha dazi kwa charu ichi, maufumu gha Azande, Luba, na Lunda ghakalamulira kwambira mu ma 1500 m'paka mu 1900. Themba Leopold II la ku Belgium likapoka wanangwa wa kukhala mu caru ca Congo mu 1885 ndipo likati caru ici nchake, ndipo likati ni Congo Free State. Kwambira mu 1885 m'paka 1908, ŵasilikari ŵake ŵakachichizga ŵanthu kuti ŵagwirenge ntchito ya kupanga mphira. Mu 1908, Leopold wakaleka malo agha, ndipo ghakazgoka koloni la Belgium.
Pa Juni 30, 1960, charu cha Congo chikapoka wanangwa kufuma ku Belgium, ndipo nyengo yeneyiyo chikaŵa na magulu ghakupambanapambana gha ŵanthu awo ŵakakhumbanga kujipatura. Mu 1971, Mobutu wakasintha zina la charu ichi kuŵa Zaire ndipo wakaŵika muwuso wankhongono m'paka apo wakawuskikira mu 1997.[1] Kufuma apo, zina la charu ichi likasinthikaso, ndipo kufuma mu 1998 m'paka mu 2003, pakaŵa Nkhondo Yachiŵiri ya ku Congo.[7][8][9][10] Nkhondo iyi yikamara mu nyengo ya Joseph Kabila uyo wakawusa charu ichi kufuma mu 2001 mpaka mu 2019, apo wanangwa wa ŵanthu mu chalo ichi ukaŵa wambura kuzirwa ndipo wakachitanga viheni vinandi nga nkhukomeka, kutambuzgika, kujalirika mu jele mwakutalulira na kukanizga wanangwa wa ŵanthu.[11] Pamanyuma pa mavoti gha 2018 mu charu ichi, Kabila wakasankhika na Félix Tshisekedi.[12] Kufuma mu 2015, kumafumiro gha dazi kwa DR Congo ndiko kuli nkhondo ya ŵasilikari mu Kivu.
Charu cha Democratic Republic of the Congo chili na vinthu vinandi chomene vyakuthupi, kweni chili na masuzgo gha ndyali, kusowa kwa vinthu vyakukhumbikwa, vimbundi, kweniso vyaka vinandi vya malonda na vyakukolerana.[13] Besides the capital Kinshasa, the two next largest cities, Lubumbashi and Mbuji-Mayi, are both mining communities. The DRC's largest export is raw minerals, with China accepting over 50% of its exports in 2019.[1] Mu chaka cha 2021, charu cha DR Congo chikaŵa pa malo 179 pa vyaru 191. Kuzakafika mu 2018, ŵanthu pafupifupi 600,000 ŵa ku Congo ŵakaŵa kuti ŵachali kukhala mu vyaru vyapafupi. Ŵana mamiliyoni ghaŵiri ŵakufwa na njara, ndipo ŵanthu mamiliyoni 4.5 ŵali kufumamo mu vikaya vyawo cifukwa ca nkhondo. Charu ichi chili mu wupu wa United Nations, Non-Aligned Movement, African Union, COMESA, Southern African Development Community, Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie, na Economic Community of Central African States.
Kwiza kwa zina
Zina la charu ichi lili kufuma ku zina la Mlonga wa Congo, uwo ukujumpha mu charu ichi. Mlonga wa Congo ni mlonga wakunyang'amira comene pa caru cose ndiposo wacitatu pa mtunda. Komiti yakuwona vya ku Upper Congo (Comité d'études du haut Congo), iyo yikambiska na Themba Leopold II la ku Belgium mu 1876, kweniso wupu wa International Association of the Congo, uwo wakambiska mu 1879.
Awo ŵakendeskanga ngalaŵa ku Europe ŵakathya Mlonga wa Congo zina la Ufumu wa Kongo na ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Bantu awo ŵakakhalanga mu charu ichi. Lizgu lakuti Kongo lili kufuma ku chiyowoyero cha Kongo (icho chikuchemekaso Kikongo). Samuel Henry Nelson, mulembi wa ku America, wakati: "Panji lizgu lakuti 'Kongo' likung'anamura kuwungana pa wumba ndipo lili kufuma ku lizgu lakuti konga, 'kuwungana' (transitive)". Zina la mazuŵa ghano la ŵanthu ŵa ku Kongo lakuti Bakongo, likamba kumanyikwa kukwambilira kwa m'ma 1900.
Boma la Democratic Republic of the Congo likamanyikwanga na mazina agha: Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Republic of the Congo-Léopoldville, Democratic Republic of the Congo na Republic of Zaire, pambere lindasinthe zina lakuti Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Pa nyengo iyo charu ichi chikapokera wanangwa wake, chikachemekanga kuti Republic of the Congo-Léopoldville kuti chiŵe chakupambana na charu chinyake cha ku Congo-Brazzaville. Pa 1 Ogasiti 1964, charu ichi chikazgoka DRC, kweni pa 27 Okutobala 1971 President Mobutu Sese Seko wakachitiska kuti chichemeke Zaire (zina lakale la Congo River).
Lizgu lakuti Zaire lili kufuma ku lizgu la Chiphwitikizi ilo lili kufuma ku lizgu la Chikikongo lakuti nzadi ("mlonga").[14][15][16]Mlonga uwu ukachemekanga Zaire mu vyaka vya m'ma 1500 na 1700. Vikuwoneka kuti mu vyaka vya m'ma 18 C.E., mu Chingelezi ŵakawuchemanga kuti Congo, ndipo mu vyaka vya m'ma 19 C.E., ŵanthu ŵakamba kuzunura za Zaire.
Mu 1992, wupu wakuwona vya wanangwa wa ŵanthu ukazomerezga kuti charu ichi chichemeke "Democratic Republic of the Congo". Pamasinda, pulezidenti Laurent-Désiré Kabila wakawezgerapo zina la charu ichi apo wakawuskapo Mobutu mu 1997. Kuti charu ichi chiŵe chakupambana na charu chinyake, nyengo zinyake chikuchemeka Congo (Kinshasa) panji Congo-Kinshasa. Zina lake nyengo zinyake likuzgoreka kuti DR Congo,DRC, the DROC and RDC (mu Cifurenci).[17]

Mbiri Yakwambilira
Malo agho sono ghakucemeka Democratic Republic of the Congo ghakaŵa na ŵanthu vyaka 90,000 ivyo vyajumpha, nga umo vikulongolereka na ivyo vikachitika mu 1988 apo ŵakabowozga futi ya Semliki ku Katanda.[18][19]
Ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Bantu ŵakafika ku Central Africa mu vyaka vya m'ma 1000 B.C.E., ndipo ŵakamba kusamira kumwera. Ŵanthu ŵakamba kuliska viŵeto vyawo mwaluŵiro chomene chifukwa cha kulondezga nthowa za ŵaliska na za ŵanthu ŵa mu nyengo ya Iron Age. Ŵanthu awo ŵakakhalanga kumwera na kumwera ca kumanjiliro gha dazi, ŵakagwiliskiranga nchito vyakupangira vinthu vyakuthupi. Mu nyengo iyi, ŵanthu ŵakamba kugwiliskira ntchito visulo. Ici cikapangiska kuti ŵanthu awo ŵakakhalanga kumafumiro gha dazi na kumwera kwa dazi ŵafumemo mu vikaya vyawo. Mu vyaka vya m'ma 900 C.E., ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Bantu ŵakamba kuthandazgika chomene, ndipo kufuma apo, maufumu gha Bantu ghakaŵako.

Ŵalongozgi ŵa boma la Belgium ŵakasanda vinthu ivi kufuma mu 1870 m'paka mu 1920. Munthu wakwamba uyo wakendeskanga ni Henry Morton Stanley, uyo wakendeskanga maulendo agha na Themba Leopold II la ku Belgium. Vyaru vya kumafumiro gha dazi kwa Congo vikaŵa na masuzgo ghanandi cifukwa ca kuthereskeka kwa ŵazga, comenecomene na ŵanthu ŵa ku Arabia na Swahili awo ŵakaguliskanga ŵazga.
Leopold wakakhumbanga kuti caru ca Congo ciŵe cikaya cake.[20]Mu viphalizgano vyakulondezgapo, Leopold, uyo wakaŵa pulezidenti wa gulu la ku Africa lakucemeka Association Internationale Africaine, wakayowoya kuti wakukhumba kovwira ŵanthu.
Themba Leopold likapokera wanangwa wa kukhala mu caru ca Congo pa ungano wa ku Berlin mu 1885 ndipo likapanga caru ici kuŵa cake. Wakacichema kuti Congo Free State. Mu nyengo ya muwuso wa Leopold, ŵakamba kupanga vinthu vyakupambanapambana, nga ni njanji iyo yikendanga kufuma ku mtunda wa mumphepete mwa nyanja kuya ku msumba wa Leopoldville (uno ni Kinshasa).
Mu charu cha Free State, ŵanthu awo ŵakakhalanga mu vigaŵa ivi ŵakachichizganga ŵanthu kuti ŵapange mphira. Leopold wakasanga ndalama zinandi cifukwa ca kuguliska ganyuzi. Pakukhumba kukanizga ŵanthu kugura mphira, ŵasilikari ŵa boma ŵakacemeka ndipo ŵakamba kudumura viŵaro vya ŵanthu ŵa ku malo agha.
Mu nyengo ya 1885-1908, ŵanthu mamiliyoni ghanandi ŵa ku Congo ŵakafwa cifukwa ca kusuzgika na matenda. Mu vigaŵa vinyake, ŵanthu ŵakakhira comene. Ŵanthu ŵanyake ŵakuti matenda gha mu tulo na nthomba vikakoma pafupifupi hafu ya ŵanthu awo ŵakakhalanga mu vigaŵa vyakuzingilizga Mlonga wa Congo.
Uthenga wakuti ŵanthu ŵakamucitiranga nkhaza ukayamba kuthandazgika. Mu 1904, Roger Casement, uyo wakaŵa kazembe wa Britain ku boma la Boma ku Congo, wakaphalirika na boma la Britain kuti wasande nkhani iyi. Lipoti lake, lakucemeka Casement Report, likakhozga ivyo ŵanthu ŵakayowoya. Nyumba ya Malango ya ku Belgium yikapangiska Leopold II kuti wambe kusanda nkhani iyi. Ivyo vikalembeka vikakolerana na ivyo Casement wakayowoya, wakati ŵanthu ŵa ku Congo "ŵakakhira na hafu" mu nyengo iyi. Ntchakusuzga kumanya unandi wa ŵanthu awo ŵakafwa chifukwa palije ukaboni wakukwana.

Kusintha kufuma ku Congo Free State kuya ku Belgian Congo kukaŵa kwakupambana, kweni kukaŵaso kukolerana. Kazembe waumaliro wa boma la Congo Free State, Baron Théophile Wahis, wakalutilira kuwusa mu charu cha Belgian Congo. Kujura caru ca Congo na usambazi wake ku vyaru vya Belgian kukalutilira kuŵa cifukwa cikuru ico cikapangiska kuti caru ici cikure.
Ŵalongozgi ŵa vigaŵa ŵakalongozganga chigaŵa ichi, ndipo pakaŵa malango ghaŵiri (makhoti gha ku Europe na makhoti ghanyake gha mu charu ichi). Makhoti gha ŵanthu ŵa mu vyaru ivi ghakaŵa na mazaza ghachoko waka ndipo ghakaŵa pasi pa boma. Ŵalara ŵa boma ku Belgium ŵakazomerezga kuti mu Congo muleke kuŵa ndyali, ndipo ŵasilikari ŵa Force Publique ŵakakanizganga ŵanthu kuwukira boma.
Charu cha Belgian Congo chikakhwaskika na nkhondo ziŵiri za caru cose. Mu Nkhondo Yakwamba ya Caru Cose (1914-1918), nkhondo iyo yikacitika pakati pa ŵasilikari ŵa Force Publique na ŵasilikari ŵa German ku German East Africa, yikasintha na kuŵa nkhondo ya pa wumba. Gulu la ŵasilikari la Force Publique likathereska ŵanthu ŵanandi apo likalutanga ku Tabora mu Seputembala 1916 pasi pa muwuso wa Jenerale Charles Tombeur.

Mwaluŵiro Force Publique yikagaluka, ndipo pa Julayi 11 chigaŵa cha Katanga (chakulongozgeka na Moïse Tshombe) na South Kasai ŵakamba kulimbana na ŵalongozgi ŵaphya. Ŵanandi mwa ŵanthu 100,000 ŵa ku Europe awo ŵakakhalako pamanyuma pakuti charu cha Congo chazakaŵa na wanangwa uwu ŵakachimbira mu charu ichi. Pamanyuma pakuti wupu wa United Nations ukakana wovwiri uwo Lumumba wakapempha kuti waparanye gulu lakujipatura, Lumumba wakapempha wovwiri ku Soviet Union, iyo yikapokelera na kutuma wovwiri wa ŵasilikari. Pa Ogasiti 23, ŵasilikari ŵa Congo ŵakanjira mu South Kasai. Lumumba wakafumiskika pa udindo pa 5 September 1960 na Kasa-Vubu uyo wakamususka pakweru chifukwa cha kukoma ŵanthu na ŵasilikari ŵa ku South Kasai kweniso chifukwa cha kunjizga maboma gha Soviet mu chalo ichi. Lumumba wakayowoya kuti ivyo Kasa-Vubu wakacita vikaŵa vyambura kuzomerezgeka na dango, ndipo pakaŵa suzgo pakati pa ŵalongozgi ŵaŵiri aŵa.[23]
Pa 14 Seputembala, Koloneli Joseph Mobutu, na wovwiri wa United States na Belgium, wakawuskapo Lumumba pa udindo wake. Pa Janyuwale 17, 1961, Lumumba wakapelekeka ku boma la Katangan na kukomeka na ŵasilikari ŵa Katangan awo ŵakalongozgekanga na ŵa Belgian. Mu 2001, Nyumba ya Malamulo ya ku Belgium yikachita kafukufuku ndipo yikasanga kuti charu cha Belgium "chikwenera kuŵa na mulandu" wa kukoma Lumumba.
Pa Seputembala 18, 1961, apo ŵakadumbiskananga vya kuleka kuwombera, ndege yikawa pafupi na Ndola ndipo Dag Hammarskjöld, mulembi mukuru wa wupu wa United Nations, wakafwa pamoza na ŵanthu wose 15.

Maboma ghanandi gha Joseph Ileo, Cyrille Adoula, na Moise Kapenda Tshombe ghakaŵa gha nyengo yicoko waka.
Pa nyengo yeneyira, ku mafumiro gha dazi kwa caru ici, ŵakugaluka awo ŵakakhozgekanga na boma la Soviet na la Cuba, awo ŵakacemekanga kuti Simbas, ŵakamba kuwukira boma la Congo, ndipo ŵakapharazga kuti ku Stanleyville kuli "Republic of the Congo". Mbumba ya Simba yikacimbizgika mu Stanleyville mu Novembala 1964 mu nyengo ya "Operation Dragon Rouge". Mu Novembala 1965, ŵasilikari ŵa boma la Congo ŵakathereska ŵakugaluka ŵa Simba.
Lumumba wakaŵa kuti wasora Mobutu kuŵa mulara wa ŵasilikari ŵa gulu liphya la nkhondo la Congo, Armée Nationale Congolaise. Pakugwiliskira nchito uheni uwo ukaŵapo pakati pa Kasavubu na Tshombe, Mobutu wakasanga wovwiri wakukwana mu ŵasilikari kuti wapange boma. Mu 1965, pambere Mobutu wandawuskemo boma, pakaŵa ungano wa ŵanthu awo ŵakakhumbanga kusintha malango gha charu. Mu 1971, Mobutu wakasinthaso zina la charu ichi, ndipo pa nyengo iyi wakaŵa "Republic of Zaire".[24][25]

Maboma gha ku United States ghakamovwira comene Mobutu cifukwa cakuti wakasuskanga cikomyunizimu. Pakaŵa chipani chimoza pera, ndipo Mobutu wakajiphara kuti ni mulara wa boma. Nyengo na nyengo wakacitanga maungano agho iyo yekha ndiyo wakaŵa wakunjilirapo. Nangauli pakaŵa mtende na kukhazikika, kweni boma la Mobutu likaŵa na mulandu wa kuswa wanangwa wa ŵanthu, nkhaza za ndyali, kusopa munthu na vimbundi.
Kuumaliro wa 1967, Mobutu wakawuskapo ŵalwani ŵake wose, panji kuŵanjizga mu muwuso wake, kuŵakaka, panji kuŵapangiska kuŵa ŵambura nkhongono. Kuumaliro wa m'ma 1960, Mobutu wakalutilira kusinthiska maboma na ŵantchito kuti ŵalutilire kulamulira. Joseph Kasa-Vubu wakati wafwa mu Epulero 1969, pakaŵavya munthu uyo wakaŵa na wanangwa wa kuwusa. Kuuyambiro wa m'ma 1970, Mobutu wakayezga kuti Zaire yiŵe caru cakulongozga mu Africa. Wakendanga kanandi waka mu Africa yose apo boma likayowoyanga chomene vya nkhani za ku Africa, comenecomene izo zikakhwaskanga vigaŵa vya kumwera. Charu cha Zaire chikaŵa paubwezi na vyaru vinyake vya mu Africa, chomenechomene Burundi, Chad, na Togo.
Vimbundi vikazara comene mwakuti mazgu ghakuti "le mal Zairois" panji "matenda gha ku Zaire", agho ghakung'anamura vimbundi vikuru, unkhungu, na kuwusa uheni, ghakafuma kwa Mobutu. Wovwiri wa caru cose, comenecomene mu nthowa ya ngongoli, ukasambazga Mobutu apo wakazomerezga kuti vinthu vya mu caru nga ni misewu vileke kwenda makora. Zaire yikazgoka boma la ŵanthu ŵambura mulandu apo Mobutu na ŵabwezi ŵake ŵakayegha ndalama za boma.[26]

Kuzakafika mu 1996, pamanyuma pa Nkhondo ya ku Rwanda na kukoma ŵanthu ŵanandi, kweniso apo boma la Ŵatutsi likamba kuwusa mu Rwanda, gulu la ŵasilikari ŵa Ŵahutu (Interahamwe) ŵakachimbilira ku chigaŵa cha kumafumiro gha dazi kwa Zaire. Ŵakakolerana na ŵasilikari ŵa Zaire kuti ŵambiske nkhondo na Ŵatutsi ŵa ku Congo.
Ŵasilikari ŵa ku Rwanda na Uganda ŵakanjira mu Zaire kuti ŵawuskepo boma la Mobutu. Gulu ili likakolerana na ŵanthu ŵanyake ŵakususka boma, awo ŵakalongozgekanga na Laurent-Désiré Kabila, ndipo ŵakazgoka Alliance of Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Congo. Mu 1997, Mobutu wakacimbira ndipo Kabila wakanjira mu msumba wa Kinshasa, wakajizgora yekha pulezidenti na kuzgora zina la caru ici kuŵa Democratic Republic of Congo.[28][29]
Kabila wakalomba kuti ŵasilikari ŵa vyaru vinyake ŵawelere ku vyaru vyawo. Ŵasilikari ŵa ku Rwanda ŵakawelera ku Goma ndipo ŵakambiska gulu liphya la ŵasilikari ŵakuwukira boma la Tutsi lakucemeka Rassemblement Congolais pour la Démocratie kuti ŵarwe na Kabila, apo Uganda yikambiska gulu la ŵasilikari lakucemeka Movement for the Liberation of Congo, ilo likalongozgekanga na Jean-Pierre Bemba.

Ŵasilikari ŵa ku Angola, Zimbabwe, na Namibia ŵakanjilirapo pa nkhondo iyi.
Kabila wakakomeka mu 2001.[30] Mwana wake Joseph Kabila ndiyo wakatora malo ghake ndipo wakacema kuti paŵe maungano gha mtende. Ŵalinda ŵa mtende ŵa UN, MONUC, awo sono ni MONUSCO, ŵakafika mu Epulero 2001. Mu 2002-03 Bemba wakachitapo kanthu mu Central African Republic mu zina la pulezidenti wake wakale, Ange-Félix Patassé. Ivyo ŵakadumbiskana vikapangiska kuti paŵe phangano la mtende apo Kabila wakeneranga kugaŵana mazaza na ŵakugaluka. Kuzakafika mu Juni 2003, ŵasilikari wose ŵa vyaru vinyake kupaturako ŵa ku Rwanda ŵakafumamo mu Congo. Boma lakwimira boma ili likimikika m'paka pa nyengo iyo mavoti ghazamusankhikira. Pa 30 Julayi, 2006, boma la DRC likachita chisankho chakwamba. Iyi yikaŵa nyengo yakwamba kufuma mu 1960, apo kukaŵa maungano ghacigaŵa, ndipo ŵanandi ŵakagomezganga kuti ghazamumazga vivulupi mu cigaŵa ici. Ndipouli, mphindano pakati pa Kabila na Bemba yikazgoka nkhondo pakati pa ŵanthu awo ŵakakolerana nawo mu Kinshasa. Ŵasilikari ŵa MONUC ŵakamba kuwusa msumba uwu. Mu Okutobala 2006, pakaŵa mavoti ghaphya, ndipo Kabila ndiyo wakatonda.

Laurent Nkunda, chiŵaro cha Rally for Congolese Democracy Goma, munthavi wa Rally for Congolese Democracy uwo uli mu gulu la ŵasilikari, wakapatuka pamoza na ŵasilikari ŵakugomezgeka kwa iyo na kupanga National Congress for the Defense of the People (CNDP), iyo yikamba kuwukira boma. Kasi mbanjani awo ŵakaŵagomezga? Ku Rwanda, boma la Rwanda likukhumba kuti boma la Rwanda liŵawovwire kuti ŵarwe na gulu la Ŵahutu la Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR). Mu Malichi 2009, pamanyuma pa phangano pakati pa DRC na Rwanda, ŵasilikari ŵa ku Rwanda ŵakanjira mu DRC na kukora Nkunda ndipo ŵakazomerezgeka kulondezga ŵasilikari ŵa FDLR. CNDP yikalemba phangano la mtende na boma umo yikazomera kuŵa chipani cha ndyali na kuŵika ŵasilikari ŵake mu gulu la ŵasilikari. Mu 2012, Bosco Ntaganda, mulongozgi wa CNDP, na ŵasilikari ŵakugomezgeka kwa iyo, ŵakagaluka na kupanga gulu la ŵasilikari ŵakugaluka la March 23 Movement (M23), ŵakayowoya kuti boma laswa phangano.[31]

In the resulting M23 rebellion, M23 briefly captured the provincial capital of Goma in November 2012.[32][33] Vyaru vyapafupi, comenecomene Rwanda, vikususkika kuti vikupeleka vilwero ku gulu la ŵakugaluka na kuŵawovwira kuti ŵambe kuwusa caru ici. Mu Malichi 2013, wupu wa United Nations Security Council ukazomerezga kuti ŵasilikari ŵa United Nations Force Intervention Brigade ŵaparanyenge magulu agha. Pa Novembala 5, 2013, gulu la M23 likapharazga kuti ŵasilikari ŵara ŵamara.
Kweniso, kumpoto kwa Katanga, Mai-Mai uyo wakapangika na Laurent Kabila wakafumako kwa Kinshasa apo Gédéon Kyungu Mutanga wakapangiska kuti Mai Mai Kata Katanga waparanyike mu msumba wa Lubumbashi mu 2013. Nkhondo ya ku Ituri yikacitika pakati pa gulu la Nationalist and Integrationist Front na Union of Congolese Patriots awo ŵakatenge ŵakwimira mafuko gha Lendu na Hema. Ku kumpoto kwa kumafumiro gha dazi, gulu la Lord's Resistance Army la Joseph Kony likasamuka ku misasa yawo ya ku Uganda na South Sudan kuya ku DR Congo mu 2005 na kuzenga misasa mu Garamba National Park.
Nkhondo ya ku Congo yikulongosoreka kuti yikaŵa nkhondo ya ndopa zinandi comene kwambira pa Nkhondo Yachiŵiri ya Caru Cose. Pa Disembala 8, 2017, ŵasilikari 14 ŵa UN na ŵasilikari 5 ŵa Congo ŵakakomeka mu kuwukira kwa ŵakugaluka ku Semuliki mu chigaŵa cha Beni. Ŵanthu ŵakaghanaghananga kuti ŵakugaluka aŵa ŵakaŵa ŵasilikari ŵa ŵasilikari ŵa Democratic Forces. Kafukufuku wa UN wakalongora kuti munthu uyu ndiyo wakapangiska ngozi iyi.
Mu 2009, nyuzipepara ya The New York Times yikati ŵanthu pafupifupi 45,000 pa mwezi ŵakulutilira kufwa mu charu cha Congo. Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakufwa na matenda kweniso njara. Malipoti ghakulongora kuti pafupifupi hafu ya ŵanthu awo ŵakufwa mbana ŵa vyaka vinkhondi kukhilira pasi. Kanandi ŵanthu ŵakukoma ŵanthu, kunanga katundu, kusuzgana pa nkhani za kugonana, ndipo ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakuchimbira mu nyumba zawo. Kafukufuku munyake wakulongora kuti chaka chilichose ŵanakazi ŵakujumpha 400,000 ŵakukoleka na mwanalume mu Democratic Republic of Congo. Mu 2018 na 2019, charu cha Congo ndicho chikaŵa na ŵanthu ŵanandi chomene ŵakusuzgika pa nkhani za kugonana. Kuyana na wupu wa Human Rights Watch na wa New York University Congo Research Group, ŵasilikari ŵa ku DRC ŵakoma ŵanthu ŵakujumpha 1,900 kufuma mu Juni 2017 m'paka Juni 2019.[34]
Nyengo ya Kabila mu ofesi na viwoneskero vinandi vyakwimikana na boma
Mu 2015, ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakamba kususka ivyo Kabila wakachita. Chiphokoso ichi chikamba pamanyuma pakuti nyumba ya mafumu ya ku Congo yazomerezga dango ilo usange lingazomerezgekaso na nyumba ya mafumu ya ku Congo, lingapangiska kuti Kabila walutilire kuŵa na mazaza mpaka apo boma lizamuchitira kalembera wa ŵanthu. Nangauli dango ili likapokelereka, kweni pakaŵavya fundo iyo yikapangiska kuti Kabila wakhalenge pa mazaza m'paka paŵe kalembera. Kulembeka kwa ŵanthu kukwenera kuchitika, kweni kulije kukolerana na nyengo iyo mavoti ghakucitikira. Mu 2015, paumaliro wa 2016, kukaŵa mavoti ndipo mu Congo mukaŵa mtende.[35]
Pa Novembala 27, 2016, nduna ya vyalo ya ku Congo Raymond Tshibanda yikati ku nyuzipepara kuti palije mavoti agho ghachitikenge mu 2016, pamanyuma pa 20 Disembala, umaliro wa nyengo ya pulezidenti Kabila. Pa ungano uwo ukacitikira ku Madagascar, Tshibanda wakati boma la Kabila "likadumbiskana na ŵanthu awo ŵakumanya vya mavoti" kufuma ku Congo, United Nations na kunyake, ndipo "ŵapangana kuti ndondomeko ya kulembeska ŵanthu awo ŵafumenge mu mavoti yimare pa Julayi 31, 2017, ndipo mavoti ghachitike mu Epulero 2018". Ŵanthu ŵakamba kususka ivyo vikachitika pa Disembala 20, apo Kabila wakamalizga kuwusa. Mu vyaru vinandi, ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakakomeka ndipo ŵanyake ŵakakakika.
Nkhaza za mu vigaŵa
Kuyana na Jan Egeland, uyo pasono ni Secretary General wa Norwegian Refugee Council, vinthu mu DRC vikasuzga comene mu 2016 na 2017 ndipo ni suzgo likuru la ŵanthu na nkharo iyo yikuyana waka na nkhondo za ku Syria na Yemen. Ŵanakazi na ŵana ŵakucitirika nkhaza za kugonana ndiposo "kucitirika nkhaza mu nthowa yiliyose". Padera pa nkhondo ya ku North Kivu, nkhaza zikasazgikira mu chigaŵa cha Kasai. Magulu agha ghakakhumbanga kusanga golide, dayamondi, mafuta, na cobalt kuti ghaŵe na ndalama zinandi mu vigaŵa ivi na vyaru vinyake. Kweniso pakaŵa mphindano za mafuko na mitheto, kweniso visambizgo vya cisopa na suzgo la ndyali. Egeland wakuti ŵanthu ŵakugomezga kuti vinthu mu DRC ni "viheni comene" kweni nadi, vyahenipa comene. "Nkhondo zikuruzikuru za ku Congo izo zikaŵa pa nkhani yikuru comene vyaka 15 ivyo vyajumpha, zikuweleraso ndipo zikuhenipa comene".[36] Ŵanthu ŵanyake ŵakuti chifukwa cha nkhondo iyi, ŵana pafupifupi 2 miliyoni ŵakufwa na njara.
Wupu wa Human Rights Watch ukati mu 2017, Kabila wakalemba ŵasilikari awo ŵakachitanga nkhondo ya March 23 kuti ŵamazge vivulupi ivyo vikachitikanga mu charu chose chifukwa chakuti wakakana kufumapo pa udindo wake. Iwo ŵakati: "Ŵalwani ŵa M23 ŵakendeskanga misewu ya mu misumba yikuru ya ku Congo, ŵakawomberanga panji kukora ŵanthu awo ŵakasuskanga panji waliyose uyo ŵakamuwonanga kuti ni munthu muheni kwa pulezidenti".
Ku Masisi, nkhondo yikuru yikamba pakati pa ŵasilikari ŵa boma na mulongozgi wankhongono wa nkhondo, Jenerale Delta. Gulu la United Nations ku DRC ndilo likuru chomene ndipo ndakudura chomene pa ntchito ya kusungilira mtende, kweni likamalizga ntchito ya kuzenga misasa 5 kufupi na Masisi mu 2017, pamanyuma pakuti boma la United States likakhumbanga kuti ndalama zichepeko.
Pa Meyi 10, 2018, Denis Mukwege, uyo ni dokotala wa matenda gha ŵanakazi wa ku Congo, wakapokera chawanangwa cha Nobel cha mtende chifukwa cha kuyezgayezga kwake kumazga nkhaza za kugonana.
Nkhondo ya mafuko ya 2018
Nkhondo ya mafuko yikamba pa 16-17 Disembala 2018 ku Yumbi mu chigaŵa cha Mai-Ndombe. Ŵanthu pafupifupi 900 ŵa mtundu wa Banunu ŵakufuma mu mizi yinayi ŵakakomeka na ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Batende mu mphindano za malipiro gha mwezi uliwose, malo, minda na maji. Ŵanthu 100 ŵa mtundu wa Banun ŵakachimbilira ku cirwa ca Moniende mu Mlonga wa Congo, ndipo ŵanyake 16,000 ŵakaluta ku chigaŵa ca Makotimpoko mu Republic of Congo. Ŵasilikari ŵakagwiliskira nchito nthowa zakuyana na za ŵasilikari, ndipo ŵanyake ŵakavwara yunifomu ya ŵasilikari. Ŵalara ŵa boma na ŵasilikari ŵakakanizgika kuŵawovwira.[37]

Pakati pajumpha vyaka vinayi kufuma apo ŵakalemberanga malango ghaŵiri, ndipo pakaŵa maboma gha vigaŵa vyakupambanapambana, kweniso maboma gha vigaŵa vyakupambanapambana mu charu chose. Mu 2003, boma la Georgia likakhazikiska nyumba ya malango iyo yikaŵa na nyumba ziŵiri, ya Senate na National Assembly.
Pakati pa milimo yinyake, wupu uwu ndiwo ukapanganga dango liphya la caru. Wupu wakulongozga ukaŵa na ŵanthu 60, ndipo pulezidenti na ŵachiŵiri kwa pulezidenti ndiwo ŵakalongozganga. Kweniso pulezidenti ndiyo wakaŵa mulara wa ŵasilikari. Dango lakwamba likapangaso wupu wakweruzga uwo ukaŵa wakujiyimira pawekha.[43]
Ndondomeko ya malango ya mu 2006, iyo yikumanyikwaso kuti Ndondomeko ya Ndondomeko ya Ndondomeko ya Charu Chachitatu, yikamba kugwira ntchito mu Febuluwale 2006. Ndipouli, likapika mazaza pamoza na dango lakwendera lumoza m'paka pa nyengo iyo ŵanthu ŵakasankhikira. Kuyana na dango liphya ili, wupu wakulongozga ukaŵa na nyumba ziŵiri.
Boma, kweni pulezidenti yayi, ndilo likuŵa na mulandu ku Nyumba ya Malamulo. Dango liphya likapelekaso mazaza ghaphya ku maboma gha vigaŵa. Pa nyengo iyi, Khoti Likuru Chomene likamara ntchito yake ndipo likagaŵikana mu vigaŵa vitatu. Sono Khoti Likuru Chomene ndilo lili na mazaza ghakulongosora fundo za boma.
Nangauli chalo ichi chili mu chigaŵa cha Central African United Nations, kweni chili ku chigaŵa cha Southern Africa (SADC).[43]

Chifukwa cha unandi wa vinthu ivyo vikukhumbikwa pa caru cose ndiposo vinthu ivyo vikucitika mu vyaru nga ni China, India, Russia, Brazil, na vyaru vinyake, vyaru vyakupambanapambana vikukhumbikwira kuti vyaru vyakupambanapambana vilondezgenge nthowa ziphya zakovwira kuti viwone na kuvikilira vinthu vyakukhumbikwa pa umoyo wawo. Pakulongosora za kuzirwa kwa DRC ku wupu wa United States National Security, mulimo wa kukhazikiska gulu lakuzirwa la ku Congo ni ndondomeko yiphya ya U.S. ya kuzgora ŵasilikari ŵa charu ichi kuŵa ŵantchito.
Pali vilato vya ndyali na vya ndyali kuti ku Congo, uko kuli vinthu vinandi vyakuthupi nga ni cobalt, kuŵe mtende. Cinthu cikuru comene ico ŵakugwiliskira nchito ni cobalt, iyo ŵakugwiliskira nchito pakupanga vigaŵa vya injini. Kweniso ŵakugwiliskira nchito cobalt pa kupanga visulo vya magineti, kweniso pa kupanga vinthu vyakuti vingapwetekeka yayi.

Gulu la ŵasilikari la Forces Armées de la République Démocratique du Congo (FARDC) lili na ŵasilikari pafupifupi 144,000, ndipo ŵanandi mwa ŵasilikari aŵa ŵali mu gulu la ŵasilikari ŵa pa mtunda. FARDC yikapangika mu 2003 pamanyuma pa Nkhondo Yaciŵiri ya Congo ndipo yikasangamo magulu ghanandi gha ŵakugaluka. Chifukwa cha kuŵapo kwa ŵakugaluka awo ŵakaŵa ŵambura kulongozgeka makora, kweniso chifukwa cha kusoŵa ndalama kweniso chifukwa cha kurwa nkhondo na magulu ghakupambanapambana kwa vyaka vinandi, boma la FARDC likusuzgika na vimbundi na ukavu. Mapangano agho ghakalembeka paumaliro wa Nkhondo Yachiŵiri ya ku Congo ghakakhumbanga kuti paŵe ŵasilikari ŵaphya "ŵakukolerana, ŵakunozgekaso, na ŵakukolerana" awo ŵakaŵa na ŵasilikari ŵa boma la Kabila (FAC), RCD, na MLC.

Boma la Democratic Republic of the Congo lalemba chikalata cha UN pa nkhani ya kukanizga vilwero vya nyukiliya.[46]
Vimbunda
Mubali munyake wa Mobutu wakalongosora umo boma likapokeleranga ndalama mu nyengo ya muwuso wake. Tikapempha munthu munyake kuti watore ndalama 5 miliyoni. Wakalutanga ku banki na mazaza gha Mobutu na kutora ndalama 10. Mobutu wakatora yimoza, ndipo ise tikatorako zinyake 9". Mobutu wakambiska vimbundi kuti ŵanthu ŵaleke kumususka.
Mobutu wakwenera kuti wakaba ndalama zakukwana madola 4.5 biliyoni apo wakaŵa pa udindo. Iyo wakaŵa wakwamba yayi kuŵa na vimbundi mu charu cha Congo. Mu Julayi 2009, khoti la ku Switzerland likadumura kuti nyengo yakumalira ntchito ya kupokera ndalama za mu caru cose yakujumpha $6.7 miliyoni izo Mobutu wakaŵika mu banki ya ku Switzerland, yili kumara, ntheura ndalama izi zikwenera kuweleraso ku mbumba ya Mobutu.
Pulezidenti Kabila wakambiska Commission of Repression of Economic Crimes apo wakayamba kuwusa mu 2001. Ndipouli, mu 2016 gulu la Enough Project likalemba lipoti ilo likati charu cha Congo chili na nkhaza.
Mu Juni 2020, khoti ku Democratic Republic of Congo likasanga kuti mulara wa boma la President Tshisekedi, Vital Kamerhe, wali na mulandu wa vimbundi. Wakalangika kuti wagwire nchito zinonono kwa vilimika 20, pamanyuma pakuti wapika mulandu wa kunanga ndalama za boma zakukwana madola 50 miliyoni. Wakaŵa munthu wakuzirwa comene uyo wakeruzgika cifukwa ca vimbundi mu DRC. Kweni Kamerhe ŵakamufumiska mu Disembala 2021.
Mu Novembala 2021, kafukufuku wa khoti wakususkana na Kabila na ŵabwezi ŵake wakajulika ku Kinshasa pamanyuma pa kuvumbukwa kwa kukanizga ndalama zakukwana madola 138 miliyoni.[47]

Kabila wakambiska kafukufuku wa khoti la International Criminal Court mu Democratic Republic of Congo mu Epulero 2004. Mu Juni 2004, khoti la International Criminal Court likamba mulandu uwu. Ŵana ŵachoko waka ndiwo ŵakugwira ntchito ya usilikari mu DRC, ndipo mu 2011, ŵakawona kuti ŵana 30,000 ŵachali kugwira ntchito na magulu agha. Ku United States, ŵanthu ŵakugwiriska nchito ŵana na kuŵachichizga. Ivyo Dipatimenti ya Vya ntchito yikasanga pa nkhani ya ntchito za ŵana mu DRC mu 2013 na vinthu vinkhondi na cimoza ivyo vikupangika na makampani gha migodi mu charu ichi vili pa ndondomeko ya Dipatimenti iyi ya December 2014 ya vinthu ivyo vikupangika na ntchito za ŵana.[48]

Nkhaza ku ŵanakazi
Vikuwoneka kuti ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakuwona kuti nkhaza izo ŵanakazi ŵakuchitirika ni nkharo yiwemi. Kafukufuku uyo wakachitika mu 2013 na 2014 pa DHS (pp. 299) wakalongora kuti ŵanakazi 74.8% ŵakakolerana na fundo yakuti mfumu wangachita makora kuti watimbe muwoli wake mu nyengo zinyake.
Mu 2006, Komiti ya Wupu wa United Nations pa Nkhani ya Kumazga Kusankhana Mtundu, yikati yikudandawura kuti mu nyengo ya nkhondo iyi, ŵanthu ŵakuwona kuti kukhozgera wanangwa wa ŵanakazi na kuyana kwa ŵanalume na ŵanakazi ni nkhani yakuzirwa yayi.[50][51]Ŵasilikari ŵa Democratic Republic of the Congo na magulu ghakwimikana nawo ŵakugwiliskira nchito vimbundi, nkhaza za kugonana, na wuzga wa kugonana nga ni vilwero vya nkhondo. Chigaŵa cha kumafumiro gha dazi kwa charu ichi chikuchemeka "malo agho ŵanthu ŵakuchitira nkhaza ŵanalume panji ŵanakazi ŵankhongono pa charu chose".
Ku DRC nako ŵanthu ŵakukoma ŵanakazi, nangauli ŵakukoma ŵanthu ŵanandi yayi. Ŵanakazi 5 pa 100 ŵaliwose ndiwo ŵakuŵa na suzgo ili.[52][53] Dango ili likukanizga munthu waliyose uyo wakuswa viŵaro vya mu thupi panji vyakugwiriskira ntchito makora viŵaro vya mu thupi lake, kukhala mu jele vyaka viŵiri panji vinkhondi na kupelekeka cilango ca ndalama zakukwana 200,000.
Mu Julayi 2007, Wupu wa International Committee of the Red Cross ukayowoya kuti uli na wofi na umo vinthu viliri kumafumiro gha dazi kwa DRC. Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakuchimbilira ku malo ghakuvikilirika usiku. Yakin Ertürk, uyo ni mulaŵiliri wapadera wa UN pa nkhani ya nkhaza izo zikucitikira ŵanakazi, wakati wakendera chigaŵa cha kumafumiro gha dazi kwa Congo mu Julayi 2007. Ertürk wakasazgirapo kuti: "Magulu gha vigeŵenga ghakuwukira ŵanthu ŵa ku malo agha, kupoka vinthu vyawo, kuŵakolelera, kukora ŵanakazi na ŵana, na kuŵagwiliska nchito nga mbazga". Mu Disembala 2008, GuardianFilms ya The Guardian yikafumiska filimu yakulongosora ivyo ŵanakazi na ŵasungwana ŵakujumpha 400 ŵakayowoya.
Mu Juni 2010, wupu wa Oxfam ukati chiŵelengero cha ŵanthu awo ŵakukoleka mwankhaza ku Democratic Republic of Congo chikukwera chomene. Ndipo ŵasayansi ŵa ku Harvard ŵakasanga kuti chiŵelengero cha ŵanthu awo ŵakukoleka mwankhaza chikukwera maulendo 17. Mu Juni 2014, buku la Freedom from Torture likalemba kuti boma likuzunura ŵanakazi awo ŵakuchita ndyali na kuŵachitira nkhaza. Ŵanakazi awo ŵali mu lipoti ili ŵakasuzgika mu malo ghanandi mu caru, kusazgapo msumba wa Kinshasa na malo ghanyake agho ghakaŵa kutali na uko kukaŵa nkhondo.
Mu 2015, ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa mu charu ichi na ŵakuwaro, nga ni Filimbi na Emmanuel Weyi, ŵakayowoyapo kuti ntchakukhumbikwa kukanizga vivulupi na kusuzgika kwa vinthu apo mavoti gha mu 2016 ghakizanga.[54][55]

Banki Yikuru ya ku Congo ndiyo yikulaŵilira ndalama za ku Congo. Mu 2007, Banki ya Caru Cose yikadumura kuti yipenge ndalama zakukwana madola 1.3 biliyoni ku Democratic Republic of Congo. Boma la Congo likamba kudumbiskana vya kunjira mu wupu wa Organisation for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa (OHADA) mu 2009.
Charu cha DRC chikuwoneka kuti chili na vinthu vinandi chomene vyakuthupi.[56][57][58] Ku DRC kuli mafuta gha coltan ghakukwana 70 peresenti pa caru cose, cobalt yimoza pa vigaŵa vitatu, dayamondi yakujumpha 30 peresenti, na mkuŵa wakukwana cigaŵa cimoza pa vigaŵa 10.[59][60]
Nangauli charu cha Democratic Republic of the Congo chili na vinthu vinandi vyakuthupi, kweni chuma chake chakhala pachoko chomene kwamba m'ma 1980. Mu vyaka vya m'ma 1970 na 1980, charu cha DRC chikasanganga ndalama zakukwana 70% pa ndalama izo chikaguliskiranga ku vyakumera. Kufika mu 2005, 90% ya ndalama za DRC zikafumanga ku migodi. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Congo ŵali pakati pa ŵanthu ŵakavu comene pa caru capasi. DRC Congo ndiyo yili na GDP ya pacoko comene pa caru cose, panji pafupifupi yose.

Pamanyuma pa kunozga vinthu, kampani iyi yikambaso kupanga mkuwa mu Disembala 2007 na cobalt mu Meyi 2008.
Mu Epulero 2013, mawupu ghakwimikana na vimbundi ghakavumbura kuti boma la Congo likapokera yayi ndalama zakukwana madola 88 miliyoni kufuma ku migodi nangauli ntchito ya kunozga migodi yikendanga makora. Ndalama izo zikasoŵanga zikaŵa za mu 2010 ndipo wupu wa misonkho ukeneranga kuzipeleka ku banki.

Boma la Congo likwendeska njanji na kampani yakuchemeka Congo Railroad Company (Société nationale des chemins de fer du Congo), Office National des Transports Congo na Office des Chemins de fer des Ueles (CFU). Nga umo viliri na vinthu vinyake vinandi mu Congo, misewu ya njanji njakunyongoloka, yaukazuzi, yakuzura na ŵanthu kweniso njakofya.
Msewu
DRC yili na misewu yichoko chomene yakuŵikika pa msewu kuluska charu chilichose ku Africa. Kuti ivi viwoneke makora, mtunda wa msewu mu charu chose ukujumpha makilomita 2,500. Matadi mpaka ku Lubumbashi, mtunda wa makilomita 2,700 (1700 mi) pa msewu). Pa ŵanthu ŵakukwana 1,000,000, pali msewu wa makilomita 35 wakuŵaŵa. Malipoti ghakulongora kuti Zambia na Botswana ni vyaru vya mtunda wa makilomita 721 na 3,427.
Misewu yitatu mu msewu wa Trans-African Highway yikujumpha mu DR Congo:
- Msewu wa Tripoli-Cape Town Highway: Msewu uwu ukujumpha kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa charu pa National Road No. 1 pakati pa Kinshasa na Matadi, mtunda wa 285 km (177 mi) pa chigaŵa chimoza cha vigaŵa vyakwenda makora.
- Msewu wa Lagos-Mombasa: DRC Congo ni nthowa yikuru iyo yikusoŵa mu msewu uwu wa kumafumiro gha dazi na kumanjiliro gha dazi ndipo yikukhumbikwira kuzenga msewu uphya kuti wendenge makora.
- Msewu wa Beira-Lobito: Msewu uwu ukujumpha mu Katanga ndipo ukwenera kuzengekaso pa utali wake wose.
Maji
Charu cha DRC chili na misewu ya maji yitali comene. Pafupifupi vigaŵa viŵiri pa vigaŵa vitatu vya charu ichi, ŵanthu ŵakwenda pa maji.
Mphepo
Kufumira mu Juni 2016, DRC Congo yikaŵa na ndege yikuru yimoza (Congo Airways) iyo yikendanga mu DRC Congo. Ndege ya Congo Airways yikaŵa pa chiŵanja cha ndege cha Kinshasa. Wose awo ŵakwendeska ndege awo ŵavomerezgeka na DRC ŵalekeskeka kuluta ku ma eyapoti gha European Union na European Commission, cifukwa ca kupeleŵera kwa malango ghakwendeskera ndege.
Makampani ghanandi gha ndege ghakuyegha ndege ku chiŵanja cha ndege cha Kinshasa ndipo ghanyake ghakuyegha ndege ku chiŵanja cha ndege cha Lubumbashi.[63]
Magesi
Kufika mu 2008, mafuta gha makara na makara ghakaŵanga mu vyaru vinandi. Boma la DRC lili na vinthu vyakukhumbikwa pakupangiska magesi kufuma ku mlonga wa Congo. Charu ichi chili na makuni 50% gha mu Africa na milonga iyo yingapeleka nkhongono ya maji ku vyaru vyose vya mu Africa, mwakuyana na lipoti la UN lakukhwaskana na kuzirwa kwa chalo ichi na udindo wake wa ku Africa.
Wupu wa Société nationale d'électricité ndiwo ukupanga na kupeleka magesi, kweni ŵanthu 15 pera mu charu ichi ndiwo ŵali na magesi. DRC njumoza wa vyaru vitatu ivyo vili na magesi. Ivi ni Southern African Power Pool, East African Power Pool, na Central African Power Pool.[64]
Renewable energy
Chifukwa cha ungweru wa dazi, caru ca DRC cili na mwaŵi ukuru wa kupanga vinthu vya zuŵa. Ku DRC kuli magesi gha zuŵa ghakujumpha 836 agho ghali na nkhongono yakujumpha 83 MW. Magesi agha ghali mu Equateur (167), Katanga (159), Nord-Kivu (170), vigaŵa viŵiri vya Kasaï (170), na Bas-Congo (170). Kweniso, makina gha Caritas 148 ghali na nkhongono ya 6.31 MW.[65]
