1. Congo
The war which started in Congo in 1996 is one of the worst conflicts since WWII, and people living in this country still suffer greatly. The war later spread to the neighboring countries – Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Namibia, Angola, Chad, Libya, and Sudan. The name African World War proves the size of the conflict in this region and is definitely the reason why numerous refugees have appeared in Western Europe and the US. This war is actually closely related to that in Rwanda, with the same goals and military group, but the situation is much worse for civilians. One of the leaders of the military army, Thomas Lubanga Dyilo, has been arrested and accused of killing and rape, but many human rights organizations claim that this country is still not safe for civilians. This qualifies Congo for our list of countries involved with genocide today and the last 100 years.
