The Congo Research Group’s polling analysis from January 2023 on Congolese sentiments towards the Eastern African Community regional force was highlighted in a recent issue of Foreign Policy Magazine‘s Africa Brief.
Nearly 70 percent of Congolese people believe the EAC force to be ineffective, according to a survey by the Congo Research Group at New York University’s Center on International Cooperation and its Kinshasa-based research partners, Ebuteli and BERCI. Instead, about 61 percent would prefer that Russian troops tackle the M23 crisis.
