The Congo War Has Been Called 'The Deadliest Conflict Since World War II'
Conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo has taken the lives of millions of people. Connected to the Rwandan Genocide of 1994, violence in Congo began during the First Congo War (1996-97) after Rwandese forces entered Congo to track down refugees. The conflict spiraled into the Second Congo War (1998-2003), drawing in multiple other African nations.
Estimates vary, but somewhere around 5 million people have perished since 1998, making it "the deadliest conflict since World War II."
