Despite some positive political and economic progress observed in the Central African Region and the DRC in particular, the future of the region remains uncertain. Due to many unaddressed issues, including the multidimensional manifestations of humanitarian crises, the region is fragile with the potential for a relapse into violent conflict. Moreover, the DRC's humanitarian crises have yet to be effectively addressed as consequences and promoters of insecurity and violence. Based on the \"humanitarian-security-development\" paradigm as an inclusive operational framework, \u003ci\u003eHumanitarianism and Security\u003c\/i\u003e articulates the trend of peace recovery in the DRC as contingent upon issues of security and the refugee\/internally displaced population crisis. It claims and demonstrates that effective solutions must incorporate considerations of pre-colonial security dynamics, the place and role of identity within the humanitarian discourse\/strategies, the determinants of transitional public security (TPS), and the various dynamics regarding the return and re\/integration processes, into one operational framework. This framework must be accompanied by a continued effort to build strong local institutions as a critical component to the sustainability of operations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eYvan Yenda Ilunga \u003c\/b\u003eis an Instructor of Political Science at James Madison University, USA.
