Introduction
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is the eleventh largest country in the world and has over $29 trillion in unexploited minerals and natural resources (News about Congo). Given this fact, how is it that the DRC ranks 172 in economic freedom? The simple answer is the country is afflicted with inadequate security, shoddy governance, and a long-lasting humanitarian crisis. It is imperative that the United States (U.S.) understands the framework surrounding the operational environment, strategic implications, and how they can use its instruments of national power as a strategy to affect the DRC. Social redistribution is a method that will assist in achieving U.S. strategic goals due to the ineptness and limited capacity

Conclusion
In summary, it is of strategic importance to the United States that a stable and secure DRC exists. Therefore, it is essential that the U.S. take an active role in providing solutions to the country’s issues. One of these solutions is creating a competent government capable of providing its population with basic humanitarian needs through a social redistribution system. The U.S., along with its international partners, can assist the DRC government in providing the framework for accomplishing this. Although critics may oppose this strategy due to its essence of socialism, an unpopular form of governance in
Few places are more treacherous than the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in Africa. For two decades, near-steady warfare has claimed millions of lives in the area.
Transition (summary, signpost, preview): We just discussed the problems surrounding the DRC including deadly disease and poor education. Next, I will explain significant causes of these issues.
At these moments, life in the Congo is a living nightmare. The eastern provinces of the Congo see violence every day. Women are getting raped at alarming rates. Children are constantly abused and forced to become child soldiers. There are no sources of medicine or even clean water. Anyone can get murdered at any time, and no one is even safe in their own homes.
Disease such as malaria are degrading the society and causing a lack of educated youth in the Congo. The children are the future of any society. The main goal of the United States is to have a well educated and effective group of children who will grow up and lead the country to success. The Congo off course would
In 1619, early American colonists began bringing in slaves from parts of Africa to aid in the production of tobacco and other crops. Abraham Lincoln became the President of the United States on November 6, 1860 and began to work towards ending slavery. The Birth of a Nation, which hit the big screen in 2016, is a historical film based on an enslaved Baptist preacher named Nat Turner who led the only successful slave rebellion in 1831. The making of this film has sparked a national controversy over its depiction of racism and a fictional rape scene.
I believe that the purpose of the DRC is to help individuals to become productive citizens in our community and to help reduce the entrance into “the revolving door”.
The Democratic Republic of Congo has always been an extremely poor country. They rank as the poorest country in the world but have a high number of natural resources (“World Without Genocide”). The Congo has an unemployment rate of around ninety-five percent, more than half of the Congo people do not have access to clean water, and their mortality rates among children is highest of any country in world (“Congo Voice”). Their economic situation made it even harder for the

The Republic of Congo’s government will continue to weaken and will not be able to work successfully. To strengthen the economy you must first have balance in the political development and democracy, which in fact is organized by policies modeled by The World Bank (International Monetary Fund 6).
In the 21st century, African Nations have been suffering with sovereignty, in the way where a majority of the nations people has been suffering from a lack of the rule of law. No different from the mainstream nations of Sub-Saharan Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo faces a rapid deterioration of their government. The “Fragile State Index “ has placed the Democratic Republic of Congo at 7th out of 178th countries in the world. Even though the people have suffered from the lack of trust between people of the nation and the government, which has ineffective laws and regulations. Furthermore, the government’s job is to unite people, encourage positive organization, and supply basic needs for its people. So why are the people
As the leader of the free world, it is vital that our nation demonstrates fiscal and political support for Côte d’Ivoire’s democratic transition. Côte d’Ivoire could easily be the catalyst that could stabilize democratic norms in the MENA region. By helping our foreign friend in its transition, the U.S. can follow through on its word, strengthen political ties, increase democratic norms, increase intelligence on rising international terrorist organizations, and most importantly develop a further peace between our country and the Arab
The United States National Security Strategy (2010) outlines four enduring interests, the fourth being “An international order advanced by U.S. leadership that promotes peace, security, and
Over the last 50 years, the world has struggled to maintain an economic balance and stability, while flourishing countries try to maintain a steady income to support its people and relations with other countries. Therefore, when a continent like Africa fails to maintain a stable government and economy, super powers such as America decide to intervene with its relations. Africa has great potential to become another pillar of the world’s economic structure with its mass amounts of uncultivated land. Unfortunately, corruption and irresponsible governments hinder that progress. Foreign aid while helpful should be limited to a yearly amount because it allows the government to repudiate responsibility and gives room for corruption; it creates a
The focus of this review is biomechanical in nature and builds on and extends previous reviews and overviews. While much is known about the biomechanics of the kicking leg, there are several other aspects of the kick that have been the subject of recent exploration. Researchers have widened their interest to consider the kick beginning from the way a player approaches the ball to the end of ball flight, the point that determines the success of the kick. This interest has encapsulated characteristics of overall technique and the influences of the upper body, support leg and pelvis on the kicking action, foot–ball impact and the influences of footwear and soccer balls, ball launch characteristics and corresponding flight of the ball. This review
Then comes the problem of the financial institution reticence to invest in economic and political life of their countries, prompting the government to make difficult decisions sometimes going against the wellbeing of the population due to the lack of financial means. (Environmental governance). Then slowly, far from being a regional problem, this scourge is taking an overall appearance because even the major economies are holding more on the matter of profit; for example, if the aspect of profit could be set aside in the proposed Keystone pipeline construction, the United States Senate would have found another way to rally their states with that of CANADA; also if the Congolese government did not fear
