Abstract :
In this article, we analyse the strategic work
carried out by Radio Okapi in the Democratic Republic
of Congo between 2002 and 2022, as part of the
InternationalM ission peace operations in this country in
the heart of Africa. Created in 2002, UN Radiohas,
thanks to the expertise of Fondation Hirondelle, played
an important role in the process of reunification,
pacification, democratization, stability and development
of the DRC. Our qualitative and quantitative survey on
Surveymankey reveals that Radio Okapi is the
MONUSCO service that has had the greatest impact on
the daily lives of Congolese.
Through his journalistic production, Radio Okapi
has shownhimself asa symbol of national unityand
proof of Congolese cultural identity for the past 20 years.
Even if at one point, by talking about armed groups and
rape in the east, it seemed to develop a paradoxical
communication, Radio Okapi has, throughits
information and broadcasts, contributed a lot to the
advent of ademocratic culture in the DRC. This justifies
theopinion in favor of its perpetuation after the
departure of MONUSCO.
