The Democratic Republic of Congo has been trapped in a cycle of conflict, with devastating consequences for its people.
The latest escalation in violence between the military and M23 armed group has forced 7.4 million people from their homes in two years.
The UN says more than 25 million people are in desperate need of aid.
And it's warned the latest M23 activity in the east carries the very real risk of provoking a wider regional conflict.
What will it take to bring peace to the DRC?
And what role do regional players have?
Presenter: Mohammed Jamjoom

Emilie Katondolo -- Peace activist who advocates for the rights of women. She grew up in Goma, in the eastern DRC
Greg Ramm -- DRC Country Director for Save the Children
Crystal Orderson -- Journalist for The Africa Report, a quarterly magazine that focuses on African politics and economics
