Central African genocide

In the waning years of the 20th century, ten million people were murdered in a small, remote and virtually roadless region in the northeast part of Central Africa. In the southern region of the Sudan, two million people belonging to various Nilotic peoples including Dinka, Nuer and Shilluk were killed by Sudanese Arabs from the North. Roughly five and a half million died in the Congo, mainly during the Second Congo War but also in relatively smaller holocausts such as the Ituri conflict and the mass [...] of Pygmies known as "Effacer le tableau". In Uganda, 300 thousand people were murdered during the regime of Idi Amin and 500 thousand during the rule of his successor, Milton Obote. Amin's genocides targeted the Acholi and Lango peoples; these two groups went on to [...] other groups (mainly the Baganda) under Obote's regime. In the early 1970s, over 150 thousand Hutu people were killed by Tutsi people in Burundi by order of General Michel Micombero. Twenty years later, one million Tutsi people were murdered by Hutu people during the 1994 Rwandan [...].

These deaths are not usually considered together, as one [...]. But they should be because they are interlinked. In the Rwandan [...], the people who had been the victims in Burundi (the Hutu) murdered the ethnic group that had killed them (the Tutsi), and these new victims later played a role in the Congo [...]. In all of these deaths, the victims were killed by people from a different ethnic group, people who hated the victims' ethnic group. Ten million deaths in close proximity have left a zone of devastation in Central Africa.
