For Congo I would add that elections are key. Elections provide confidence in the population that their government, their representatives, respect the Constitution that they themselves have created. As I mentioned, these have been planned for several years and regularly delayed, which causes a lot of frustration and protests. Then the government comes in heavy-handedly and uses live ammunition to put down those protests.
I would say that Canada would need to redouble its efforts, at the minimum, pushing for those governance standards, which start with elections.
