This resolution expresses strong support for the sovereignty and democratic aspirations of the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) amidst ongoing conflict, humanitarian crises, and political instability, particularly in the eastern regions. It highlights the plight of millions of Congolese civilians who have been displaced due to violence and lack access to essential services. The resolution references the Strategic Partnership Agreement signed between the United States and the DRC, aimed at fostering peace, stability, and economic development, as well as the Washington Accords for regional cooperation. Despite these agreements, violence continues to escalate, undermining efforts for peace and stability.

The New Hampshire House of Representatives calls on the U.S. government to enhance diplomatic efforts and humanitarian assistance to address the ongoing armed conflict and the needs of displaced populations. It emphasizes the importance of prioritizing the well-being of the Congolese people over resource extraction and urges the U.S. to fulfill commitments related to judicial reform, anti-corruption measures, and educational cooperation as outlined in the Strategic Partnership Agreement. The resolution encourages collaboration with international partners to support peacebuilding initiatives and calls for ongoing monitoring and reporting to Congress on the situation in the DRC.
