Background and Causes: Just two years before, the First Congo War had occurred Uganda, Angola, and the Tutsi government of Rwanda openly supplied Laurent Kabila's rebel forces in a proxy war against the Congolese government, headed by Joseph Mobutu The accepted cause of Rwanda's decision was that Rwandan rebel groups were operating from Congolese territory Kabila had been fighting Mobutu for decades, but with the new support he was able to overwhelm the government forces and, in 1997, seize the national capital Zaire was renamed the Democratic Republic of the Congo The following year, probably attempting to consolidate his new government, Kabila fired his Rwandan advisors and ordered all of their personnel to leave his country immediately
