"Congo (DR) conflict: in detail", Reuters AlertNet

"Democratic Republic of Congo, a vast country in the heart of central Africa, is trying to find its feet on the path to peace after a five-year conflict dubbed 'Africa's world war' that involved seven countries and enveloped the region. The country's first post-war elections were held in 2006, but the vote highlighted a deep east-west divide along ethnic and linguistic lines. Furthermore, many observers say ongoing violence in more remote areas could destabilise the peace process and re-ignite the regional war that officially ended in 2003. The largest U.N. peacekeeping force in the world is stationed in Congo, with 17,000 troops, and the International Criminal Court in The Hague has launched investigations into war crimes. [...] Dozens of heavily armed groups - some of them still reportedly backed by influential politicians or foreign governments such as Rwanda and Uganda - stoke ethnic rivalries and vie for control of valuable natural resources."

Genocide Teaching Project

The Project provides resources to teach about the legal concept of genocide in high schools, including a discussion of the Genocide Convention (1948), a brief overview of genocides that have taken place throughout history, and the types of behavior and actions which may lead to genocide. Our two lesson plans include a 90-minute lesson on the genocide in Rwanda and a 45-minute lesson on the current violence in Darfur, Sudan. After the students learn about these two crises, the lessons conclude by having the students identify actions they can take - as individuals and as a group - to impact the situation in Sudan and to ensure that genocide does not happen again. Therefore, the Center encourages high-school teachers as well as advocates and practitioners to use these lesson plans to teach young people about the need to take responsibility for egregious abuses and to speak out for those with no voice.
