Strengthening Regional Confict Resolution in DRC: A Diplomatic Approach

The ongoing conflict in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), exacerbated by the M23 insurgency, has escalated into one of the most complex and protracted crises in Africa. Key contributing issues include multiplicity of inconclusive regional initiatives, vested interests of political actors, the geopolitics of Eastern and Southern Africa, and identity politics and proxy wars.

Special Focus

Strengthening ties with South East Asia (SEA) countries to bolster Kenya’s economic fortitude

The brief posits that the transactional trade policy shift by the newly inaugurated 47th United States of America’s President Donald Trump offers an opportunity for Kenya to strategically align more with alternative trade partners in South East Asia (SEA) such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and Vietnam. The recent protectionist trade policies announced by the USA underscore the urgency for Kenya to shift from traditional trade allies to alternative trade partners in the Global South with better reciprocal trade policies

Weekly Influential Brief

Positioning Kenya as Eastern Africa’s Strategic Partner to Donald Trump’s Presidency

This brief examines strategies that Kenya can adopt to strengthen Kenya-United States of America (USA) relations following the election of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the USA. Under President Biden, Kenya enjoyed robust ties with the USA, marked by milestones such as President Ruto’s state visit to USA, support for Kenya's leadership in the Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS) to Haiti, and Kenya’s designation as a Major Non-NATO Ally (MNNA).
