	Congo War
		The Northeastern part of the Congo is possibly the richest part of the DRC both in terms of mineral and agricultural resources, and therein may also lie the reasons for promoting conflicts.
		Congo's five-year war is officially over and a transitional government is trying to shepherd the vast African nation to elections next year, but the peace process has come to a halt, largely because of the continued presence of armed groups in the east.

		In the first war, the notion that the war was a “revolution” or a “war of liberation,” coupled with generalized antagonism toward Mobutu, resulted in a considerable amount of Congolese and foreign support for the “rebel” forces.
		In the second war, much of the Congolese population was convinced that they were being invaded by the much disliked Rwandans, Ugandans, and, in some eyes, simply the Tutsi.

		Kahuzi-Biega National Park, Congo - Beneath a pair of extinct volcanic peaks in eastern Congo, on the edge of a verdant tropical rain-forest, an enormous silverback gorilla named Chimenuka lounges on his back, two feet propped against a tree.
		In a second, the 180kg gorilla springs upright, beating his chest, grunting and charging forward, forcing his guests to cower before slipping away on all fours into a curtain of thick underbrush.
		Eastern lowland gorillas, the tallest apes on earth, live only in Congo and inhabit a broad band of forests that stretch from Lake Albert near the Ugandan border to the northern tip of Lake Tanganyika on the frontier with Burundi.

		The most important impact of the Second Congo War on internal affairs has been the massive loss of independence by all the Congolese political forces and a sharp decline in the standard of living of ordinary people.
		If the leadership of the internal parties to the Second Congo War may turn out to be less than adequately compromising during the planned-for national dialogue, much the same can be expected from the foreign parties which, today, control different areas of the Congo.

	The African Stakes of the Congo War
		All this is inflicted to such an extent that one has termed the conflict ‘the most deadly war ever documented in Africa or anywhere in the world during the past half-century.’[1] And yet, with very few exceptions, events in the Congo hardly ever make the news.
		Finally we are presented with three broadly lateral chapters on the proliferation of arms, the economic impact of the war, and the issue of refugees and internally displaced persons.
		Similarly, since it is often argued that the current (low to medium intensity) war in the Congo is dragging on because of the economic motives of the parties involved, it would have been useful to extend the analysis of the economic impact of the war to the corporate world as another stakeholder in the conflict.
