Congo Homework

1.)What events led to the outbreak of war in the DR Congo?

In 1994, after the Rwandan genocide, teh Hutu militias responsible for perpetrating the deaths of hundreds of thousands fled across the border to Congo, along with more than a million Rwandan Hutu civilians who feared for their lives. Since then, some of the perpatrators have remained in the Kivus, the part of Congo that borders Rwanda with disastrously destabilizing consequences. In 1996 and again in 1998, the Tutsi-led Rwandan Patriotic Army invaded teh Kivus ostensibly to track down teh remaining genocides. They killed hundreds of thousands of others in the process and at least three other countries were involvedin teh fighting. The war continues in the Kivus to this day. Another chapter in a bloody saga that could have ended long ago.

2.)How many have died in this war? Over what time frame has the deaths taken place? What countries countries and ethnic groups are involved?

In the last 10 years of fighting, more than 5 million people have died in the Congolese conflict. However mostly civilians who haven't had access to enough food or health care because of the fighting. As a U.N. soldier, he watched the 1994 genocide happen in Rwanda. So all these deaths happened from 1994 during the Rwanda Genocide to 2004 when some of the violence ended in between the DS Congo War. There were three countries that were involved in this Congo Conflict Rwanda because that's where it started. Congo because that's were the war begun. And now Kivus and that's where the war in now and currently taking place.


3.)What do you think can happen to stop the war/genocide in Congo?

One thing I think can happen to stop the war is they replace the new president because he is disturbing the peace. I think that they should make peace and they should live together by all circumstances. The citizens of Congo should be more loyal to the people that come to their country and actually welcome them. Not run them out and now since they did that there is currently a war. And the war is all over people doing the smart thing and running away from another war and so from a group of people running away causes another war. So in they should all just merge the countries so in the end every on can learn a lesson and all be friends again living in peace and harmony.
