Vivian van de Perre’s calling is to help nations transition from conflict to peace. Now the deputy head of peacekeeping in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), she leads a life-saving operation in the rebel-held city of Goma.

“It's tragic and it's unimaginable, but at the same time, people live their lives and they do the best they can, and they remain generous and warm, despite the circumstances that they live in. You go to these places and you see the worst and you see the best, and it's all in one package, and it is just something that really, really touches you. It's not like a regular job.”

A recent peace accord has raised hopes of an end to the violence that has plagued eastern DRC for the past three decades. In this episode, recorded before the peace agreement, Vivian van de Perre reflects on the impact of funding cuts on active war zones, on peacekeeping as a delicate balancing act, and shares why she falls for every place she serves.

“[Losing colleagues is] heartbreaking, and you can't think about it all day long, because it will be so demoralizing you have to keep going. Nobody expects to not come back.”

Episode 30 with Dave and Donna Jacobsson

AfricaNow! October 15, 2025 DRC: Peace Agreement, Sportswashing, Minerals & More

Topic and Guest: Today the show focuses on the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).  Due to the continued external destabilization of the country, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has nearly 7 million people have been displaced, and since the late 1990s over 6 million have been killed in the country due to conflict. Earlier this year we saw the Rwandan-backed armed group M23 control towns in the eastern part of the DRC.  On June 27 the DRC and Rwanda formally signed the Washington Agreement in Washington, DC, U.S., and on July 19 the two parties signed the Doha Declaration of Principles in Doha Qatar to end the conflict in eastern DRC.  But unfortunately so far peace has not been sustained.  Featured on the show is a recent conversation with Maurice Carney, Executive Director of Friends of the Congo in which he dissected the peace agreement and the missing issue of justice for Congolese people in the agreement.  The conversation also focused on the role of the continued neo-colonial role of multinational corporations and countries who are exploiting the DRC’s vast resources; unpacking sportwashing in the context of the conflict in the DRC and more.
