There most recent war which raged from 1998-2002 caused massive amounts of death along with the rebels and government still fighting over control. Since 1998, 3.9 million people have died in the congo, with less than 10 percent dieing from violence but more from preventable diseases susch as malaria, diarrhea, pneumonia and malnutrition.
