Primary tabs
Join us for a conversation with Josaphat Musamba about the intersection of resource extraction, systems of governance, armed conflict, and security – and the urgent ecological crisis that is inextricable from the technologies that define our modern world.

He has worked for several NGOs in Eastern Congo as a consultant and liaison officer and was a member of the DR Congo UN Group of Experts 2016-2017 Mandate (Congolese staff).

Currently, he is working on the social anthropology of security practices and conflict dynamics in the Bwito chieftaincy (North Kivu) and Haut Plateaux of Fizi, Itombwe, and Uvira (South Kivu).
