the content on this article needs modification. a minor point is that the history is too heavily joined to european entry into the region. more important, the historical account under "Africa's World War" is biased and poorly executed. the bias is presented at times as being again "foreigners," but more often it misrepresents rwanda's role. the vague term "the people" referring to the congolese, as if they were undifferentiated in their opposition to rwandans, is meaningless in the region and in east congo; the reason for kabila's ending his relation with Rwanda and expulsion of the Tutsi military is not even mentioned, and the break is misrepresented; the use of "looting" as a reason is incorrect and vague. the entire section is poorly written and executed and poorly explain how groups like RCD-Goma functioned, who "Hutus" were, as if they constituted a single group. those who have some knowledge of the events and history would be very disturbed, especially if those with little knowledge of the region were to accept this as a version of official history.
