Abstract: The conflict in the DRC is ongoing despite the existence of aggregate of actors towards managing the same, both the UN and the external forces. This paper presents well researched information about the said conflict in regards to perceptions of stakeholders on the persistence of the wrangle. In this paper we argue that the perception of key stakeholders on the value of peace in the DRC is negative. As a way forward, we assert that there is a need for altitudinal metanoia on the leaders and the rebel groups and other stakeholders of peace in the region. A more positive attitude should be sensitised and implanted in the minds and hearts of the respective stakeholders as a catalyst toward sustainable peace environment in DRC and the region at large. There is also the need to empower the people so that they can fight for peace and influence their leaders and others stakeholders to support the peace initiative in the country.
