Successive waves of armed conflict, mind-numbing atrocities against civilian populations and the persistent pillage of innocent villagers' meagre possessions have been the reality of Eastern Congo since 1996. There have been at least 3 million overwhelmingly civilian casualties and constant military interventions of a partisan and economically self-interested kind by Uganda, Angola, Zimbabwe and Namibia in what is the world's least reported and least understood major war. With the aftermath of the Rwandan genocide still exercising its shockwaves, and United Nations troops in position, but apparently powerless to secure the lives of ordinary citizens, this book throws new light on the interventions of other African powers in the region and cuts through the highly tendentious, competing historical myths that people in the region and beyond resort to in trying to make sense of what is happening.
