dc.description.abstractPeace Support Operations (PSO’s) exit in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been a quintessence of challenging exit strategies by UN peacekeeping efforts. The challenging exit strategies of PSO’s in DRC have adequately affected the stability and sustainable peace of the country over a period of time since independence. Prior, PSO’s in DRC have either been forced to withdraw or abandoned their mandate prematurely. The lack of a clear plan before the onset of the mission has led to extended periods of stay in the host nation. Expansion and transition of PSO’s mandate midway also led to a prolonged period of stay in the host nation. The resultant effect of the uncoordinated exits is manifested in the increasing conflict in DRC. Threats to sustainable peace are notable due to rising insurgency against PSOs and citizens. The local perception of the DRC to PSO’s is negative. Both regional and international efforts have adopted various strategies for stabilizing DRC with little success. There is a dart in studies of the exit strategy of PSO’s and sustainable peace in DRC. This study was anchored on peace theory to account for the previous PSOs' intervention in DRC since, previous exit strategies, external efforts made, local perception of PSOs in DRC, and threats posed. The study used qualitative methods to inquire about local and international perceptions. The article aims to proffer advice to the UN on the planned PSO exit strategy to aid in sustainable peace and stability.en_US
