Russell Feingold in Sunday Political Talk Show interviews during 2013-2015

On Foreign Policy: As special envoy to Congo, cajoled both sides of civil war

Feingold's assignment came just as a new group of rebels, trained and equipped by Rwanda, was gaining strength and even threatening to take the Congolese capital. Feingold has undertaken a dizzying round of talks in at least eight different African capitals, cajoling leaders face to face, negotiating with skittish rebels late into the night and strategizing with fellow diplomats, all in a very uphill effort to stop a long-running conflict in a region littered with failed peace deals. He said after the trek, "this is one of the favorite things I've ever done in my life."
