This was a terrible war and hardly anyone has heard about it. Have any of you? And how much do you know?

I have heard of this war and seen with my eyes what it has done to the people, land and communities. I have lived in eastern Congo. Yet this civil war is very complicated with many actors who are not even Congolese. Many are stealing resources, and the local populations are suffering greatly. The recent elections have been pulled off without too many problems, but there is still a lot of work to be done. Let us hope that Joseph Kabila does better than his predessors (Laurent Kabila and Mobutu). Check out the website that i've listed below. Some friends of mine did a photo essay of some of the women who have been raped by the Interhamwe (Rwandan Hutu militia) living/hiding out in the Congo forests.

Not sure which war you are talking about. All I know is that Congo/Zaire has been in continuous chaos since the Belgian exploiters left, except during the robber regime of Mobutu.
