This earlier battle, which at some point entailed 9 African nations and 20 rebel teams, caused 5.4 million fatalities. The present problem fixate control over the DRC’s large mineral sources, which are important for international sectors, consisting of electrical car batteries, mobile phone, and fridges. The DRC’s head of state has actually charged Rwanda of funding rebels destabilizing the nation.

With over 120 armed militias in the area and boosted armed forces costs by the DRC, the danger of a bigger battle is high. International and local leaders have to action in quickly to bring both nations to the settlement table and stop the hazard of battle.
