Former FDLR fighters face severe reintegration barriers as they attempt civilian life after leaving the militia, with limited access to employment, education, and social services in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Disarmament programs lack adequate funding and follow-up support, leaving ex-combatants vulnerable to recruitment back into armed groups or rival militias. The integration failures compound instability in the region by perpetuating a pool of trained fighters with few alternatives to violence. Without sustained economic and social investment in returnee communities, the cycle of militia recruitment will persist.
