On 2nd August 2024, the world came together to mark a significant event organised by the Congolese Action Youth Platform (CAYP) in collaboration with the civil society and grassroots activists around the world to remember the victims of the Congolese genocide for economic gain. This initiative, known as GENOCOST, took place simultaneously in 26 cities across the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and numerous other cities worldwide, including Atlanta, Brussels, Frankfurt, London, Lyon, Martinique, Nairobi, Ouagadougou, Sao Paulo, and Stockholm. The commemoration aimed to honour those who lost their lives in recent atrocities and to raise global awareness of the horrific crimes committed for economic exploitation in the DRC.
