Thousands of civilians in the Democratic Republic of Congo have fled their homes and are living in desperate conditions following the latest outbreak in violence in the eastern part of the country. 

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

More than 5 million people have died in this D.R.C war. The time frame that this event has taken place is in June 2007. The countries and ethnic groups that were involved in this war was Zaire, Uganda, and the Peacekeepers .

• What do you think can happen to stop the war in Congo? 
  

I think in order to stop this war is for both countries to under stand that violence is the last thing that people need on their minds. Also, that the people of Uganda are hurting children and women also. There seems to be no heart in their souls right about now. They seemed to be brain washed as to what they are doing. They wonder why the Peacekeepers are there in the first place. At least some group of people are thinking for them since they can't think for themselves
