The Conflict monitoring research conducted by the Centre for Research Training and Publications (CRTP) in 2024 revealed early warning indicators pointing to a likely escalation of conflict in South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), with the 2025 situation confirming the emergence of new conflict fronts in both countries. In South Sudan, fragile peace processes and rising ethnic tensions continue to fuel instability, while in the DRC, renewed armed group activity and disputes over critical minerals have intensified violence, particularly in the east. The research underscores the urgent need for immediate and coordinated measures to prevent further deterioration. Ethiopia remains in a fragile state, still recovering from the northern conflict, while inter-ethnic clashes persist in northern regions. In Kenya, growing public agitation for political and economic accountability especially among the youth must be addressed to safeguard national peace and stability. CRTP emphasizes that without swift and inclusive interventions, the region risks deeper instability and prolonged humanitarian crises.
