Association Lounge Alderman African cultural policies of the Province of Rome presented an interesting lecture entitled " The forgotten conflict: the crisis of the Great Lakes ", held in Rome on July 2. Icontro This is proposed as a starting point to know the reasons (even those that nobody wants to talk about) a war that lasts for years, and hear testimonies of those who faced up to the conflict. A dramatic conflict, a genocide that nobody talks about, including the widespread lack of interest from various media.
How did the conflict? After the fall of Mobutu in 1997, the former Zaire (now DRC) there was a marked political instability. Since then 4 million people have died because of the fighting or the conditions under which the refugees are forced to live. The region showing the strongest tensions is the North Kivu, where the clashes are both ethnic (significant heterogeneity of the population) and economic (gold, diamonds, coltan, copper and cobalt). Kivu was shaken by the wave of migrations caused by the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, where thousands of Hutus, Tutsis from scunfitti is riguiarono in North Kivu. The Rwandan Tutsis, to put an end to the raids, supported Congolese rebels led by Kabila. In 1997 when Kabila captured the capital of Zaire, broke contact with the Rwandans, the former alleati.Dopo peace of 2002, 2003 witnessed a new outbreak of violence because of Nkunda's rebellion against Kabila (Kabila's son, because his father was murdered in circumstances yet to be clarified in 2001). Nkunda was not convinced that Kabila would protect the Congolese Tutsi. He then came in January 2008, with the agreement between Kabila and Nkunda, But the fighting resumed in August.
