Africa’s World War

 Africa Is Heading Toward Another Deadly War

It’s a repeat, like Israel-Hezbollah in 2006, of a war that raged between the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Rwanda and Uganda between August 1998 and July 2003. 

By the time it ended, nine African countries and 20 rebel groups were involved. At least 5.4 million people died through fighting, disease and malnutrition. Seven million were displaced. 

Africa’s World War — or the Great War of Africa, as it came to be known — was the world’s deadliest conflict since World War II.
