Millions of people have died in conflict in the Great Lakes Region of Central Africa in the last decade. For current peace initiatives to succeed many armed groups need to be disbanded and their members helped to rejoin society...
Buying Time for Peace is a 35 minute documentary film about the work of the Multi-Country Demobilization and Reintegration Program (MDRP).
Filmed in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Republic of Congo, Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda this film will take you on a journey into the heart of the Great Lakes region to show you the unique role of an international partnership that is trying to break the conflict cycle and create the conditions for peace in Central Africa.
Through the film you will meet and hear from adult ex-combatants, and children formerly associated with armed forces as they try to reclaim their lives after conflict. They are participating in the largest program of its kind in the world: the Multi-Country Demobilization and Reintegration Program (MDRP), a multi-agency effort that supports the demobilization and reintegration of ex-combatants in Angola, Burundi, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Uganda.You will also meet MDRP Specialists living and working in the region, such as Dinga, a former Colonel from Chad, now in Burundi, Gromo in Rwanda, who has spent most of his life working on humanitarian issues in Africa and who witnessed first hand the genocide in 1994, and Harald, who spends much of his time in the more unstable parts of eastern Congo.
