>Quick Background
You have the DRC government. After the previous asshole that ruined then nation and named it "Zaire" was overthrown, Laurent-Désiré Kabila was put in power by Rwanda and Uganda. Both nations are ruled by Tutsi guerillas that spent decades opposing Hutu regimes in both nations. They took power, the militias that did the Rwanda Genocide ran away into the DRC and won the favor of the previous dictator.
The only problem is that Kabila and his backers had a falling out. There was a ton of accusations as to why, but there isn't any reasons that really make a lot of sense. It could just be high school clique nonsense, or his backers wanted him to be a lapdog.
So Rwanda paratroopers landed in the southeast coast, took the only major dock, the biggest airport, a bunch of important areas, and almost took the capitol. Some South African nations freaked the fuck out and showed up to back up Kabila. Africa then was having it's WW2 and possibly it's WW1. Tanks, planes, large battles, and so on.
Then Kabila was shot in the head by an 18 year old, who was one of his child soldier bodyguards.
His son, as far as we know, was way more willing to work with others. The UN and such were optimistic.
