    Rwanda, Uganda

    This paper explains the political and economic complexities of the ongoing Ituri crisis, focusing on the role of land.

The paper argues that the ambigous Bakajika land law, introduced in 1973 and responsible for the emergence of a vast class of landless people, lies at the root of large-scale poverty, insecurity and spiralling violence.
