ITURI : BETWEEN HOPE AND TRAGEDY

Ituri, in eastern DRC, is a land of stark contrasts. Rich in natural resources and cultural diversity, it remains scarred by decades of intercommunal violence, armed conflicts, and mass displacement. Villages burned, schools abandoned, families shattered — tragedy is daily life.

Yet signs of hope endure.

Women rebuild lives, youth commit to peace, and local NGOs tirelessly promote dialogue, justice, and education.

Ituri moves cautiously, balancing memories of massacre and desire for future. Despite ongoing insecurity, inhabitants resist with dignity and determination. In this wounded land, every act of solidarity and reconciliation shines as a fragile but persistent light against darkness.
