Violence in Congo is in large part driven by local bottom-up conflicts that
international
peace efforts have failed to help address.
The story starts from the fact that not only is Congo notable for being the world's worst ongoing humanitarian crisis, but it is also home to some of the largest
international
peacebuilding efforts in the world.
The

Why have the massive
international
efforts failed to help Congo achieve lasting peace and security?
The second central observation is that
international
peace efforts have failed to help address local conflicts because of the presence of a dominant peacebuilding culture.
Throughout the world, and throughout conflict zones, this common culture shapes the intervener's understanding of the causes of violence as something that is primarily located in the national and
international
spheres.
It shapes our understanding of the path toward peace as something again that requires top-down intervention to address national and
international
tensions.
And it shapes our understanding of the roles of foreign actors as engaging in national and
international
peace processes.
Even more importantly, this common culture enables
international
peacebuilders to ignore the micro-level tensions that often jeopardize the macro-level settlements.
In addition, these
international
peacebuilders view local conflicts as simply the result of national and
international
tensions, insufficient state authority, and what they call the Congolese people's so-called inherent penchant for violence.
The dominant culture also constructs intervention at the national and
international
levels as the only natural and legitimate task for United Nations staffers and diplomats.
In Congo, continuing violence is motivated not only by the national and
international
causes but also by longstanding bottom-up agendas whose main instigators are villagers, traditional chiefs, community chiefs or ethnic leaders.
And since then, these local disputes over land and local power have fueled violence, and they have regularly jeopardized the national and
international
settlements.
So we can wonder why in these circumstances the
international
peacebuilders have failed to help implement local peacebuilding programs.
And the answer is that
international
interveners deem the resolution of grassroots conflict an unimportant, unfamiliar, and illegitimate task.
And the result is that neither the internal resistance to the dominant ways of working nor the external shocks have managed to convince
international
actors that they should reevaluate their understanding of violence and intervention.
These understandings enable
international
peacebuilders to ignore the micro-level foundations that are so necessary for sustainable peace.
And what's fascinating is that this analysis helps us to better understand many cases of lasting conflict and
international
intervention failures, in Africa and elsewhere.
So if we want
international
peacebuilding to work, in addition to any top-down intervention, conflicts must be resolved from the bottom up.
And again, it's not that national and
international
tensions don't matter.
And it's not that national and
international
peacebuilding isn't necessary.
So
international
actors should expand their funding and support for local conflict resolution.
