Conflicts in and between Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda affect the whole Great Lakes Region.
allAfrica.com: Rwanda: Africans Better Positioned to End Wars (Page 1 of 1).
Africa's Great Lakes region has also in the recent years experienced political strife, armed conflict and population displacements with severe humanitarian consequences. The Great Lakes Region, which comprises of Burundi, Uganda the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Rwanda and Tanzania, have had long time cancer of civil wars.
Of course, the latter country has been a victim due to its proximity to the war ravaged areas. The regional conflict in the Great Lakes continues to affect the lives of millions of people.
The peace process in the DRC is ongoing but has largely stalled without the cooperation from the protagonists and as a result, conflict is not ending. There is however, likelihood that the fresh talks between the DRC and Rwanda may end the long-term conflict. Otherwise, there is little chance that the humanitarian situation in conflict-affected areas will improve.
