Lake Edward: when anarchy and the risk of “savanahization” contribute to fish scarcity and tensions between Congo and Uganda

The risk of the “savanization”, that tropical humid and dry season preceding desertification, could be one of the major factors leading to the scarcity of fish in Lake Edward, due to human activity in this region located between the Democrtic Republic of the Congo, DRC and Republic of Uganda. This assertion can be documented from findings of those involved in the fishing business and the recent scientific research. In addition, there are challenges of regulation and innovation in the fishing industry. However, the solution suggested by an accredited fishing institutein the region is still at the embryonic stage, as the shortage of fishes is making it difficult for fishermen and provoking geopolitical conflict. Here is an investigation conducted by Claude Sengenya of actualite.cd and Hervé Mukulu of lavoixdelucg.org on the causes and consequences of the scarcity of fish in the former Lake Idi Amin, of which Congo-Kinshasa owns 75% of the contiguous surface area in the Virunga protected area.
