From 1999 to 2015, armed conflicts persist in the Province of Ituri. What justifies this persistence? How to analyze its dynamics? In order to answer these questions, we set out to present the context of the emergence of armed conflicts in Ituri and to analyze its dynamics.
After analysis, we have come to the conclusion that the multiplicity of actors (state and non-state) involved in these conflicts with different issues is not conducive to the effective resolution of these armed conflicts. These conflicts emerged in a fragile state where Laurent Désiré Kabila's regional and international allies had wagered the end of his regime. In its dynamics, these conflicts favored the creation of different local armed groups, first on an ethnic basis, and then on the basis of several interests following the evolution of internal, regional and international socio-political relations. This justifies the play of alliances and counter-alliances between different actors and consequently the persistence of these armed conflicts.
