1.What events led to the outbreak of war in the DR Congo?

The first event that led to the out break of the war was when in 1994 the Hutu's fled to Congo. Also when the Tutsi went to the rwandan patriotic army invaded the Kivus to get the remaining genocidaires. While trying to get them they killed thousands along the way. So when they start killing eight other countries got involved.

2. How many have died  in this war? Over what time frame has the deaths taken place? What countries and ethnic groups are involved?

In 1994 after the genocide five million people died in the congolese conflict  in the last ten years of the war. The ethnic group that was involved was the Hutus and the tutsi government. The people involved was Congolese tutsi, Laurent Nkunda, and a former general in congos army. The people was really teriffied when the government and the Nkunda's rebels was figthing  within eachother.   

3.What do you think could happen to stop the war/genocide in Congo?

What I think could stop the genocide is to try another peace offering between them. They can also try to put all the poeple who killed the rewndan president that started the genocide should be put in jail or just kill all of them dead. Maybe they could have not allowed the hutu militias from coming in congo. They also could try to move far away from each other.
