Abstract
The Congo wars 1996-2003 underscore the importance of scale of regional conflicts. In many aspects, Congo crisis’s had been interpreted as the extension of the Rwandan genocide. The chapter stresses the significance of the colonial legacy. I trace the brutality of the Belgian colonization of Congo as a framework to grasp the ongoing structural challenges the nation faced since independence.
