What events led to the outbreak of war in the DR Congo?
towards my understanding and research the war never decease.Its still going on because of the death of their former president.this event took place 14 years ago.from my opinion Congo's people can hold a grudge.

How many have died in this war?
There is over 5 million people who have died in this war. Some committed suicide because they were afraid to be killed by soldiers and others died because of the untreated health problems and much more.
Over what time frame has the deaths taken place?
The time frame the deaths have taken place was with in 10 years. The Tutsis- led the Rwandan Patriotic Army to take over the Kivus, the part of the Congo that borders Rwanda, in 1996 and in 1998.



What countries and ethnic groups are involved?What do you think can happen to stop the war/genocide in Congo?
To my understanding and research nothing can happen to stop this genocide.Almost everything has been done already to stop this genocide/war. The biggest peacekeepers of the world have even tried to stop the war, and it seems like nothing happened. They even tried to get them to sign some papers to stop the war and arm down, which they did.Obviously that wasn't the answer because they continued to fight.I think what needs to happen to stop the genocide/war is that they should put aside their differences and forget about it, because what they are fighting for in my opinion its not necessary.
