Brutal armed conflict, particularly in the eastern provinces, displaces millions, cripples infrastructure, and fuels a devastating humanitarian crisis. While numerous factors contribute to this ongoing tragedy, the failures of the national intelligence agency, the Agence Nationale de Renseignement (ANR), play a significant role.
