Justice for Congo: Western Imperialism in the DRC

From Palestine to Congo, acts of imperialist violence echo and reinforce each other. The four women panellists will shed light on actors, strategies, and discourses that support neocolonial and extractivist exploitation of the DRC. We will discuss the concrete consequences for local people, connections with modes of consumption in countries in the North, the debt issue, the plundering of resources, the complicit silence of governments, and the many resistance movements that are organising.

📍 Autumn meeting 2025 - Auberge Simenon, Rue Georges Simenon 2, Liège
📅 11 October – 4 to 6 p.m.
