在1994-96年刚果民主共和国（当时的扎伊尔）难民危机期间，卢旺达种族灭绝的胡图人在卢旺达胡图难民营附近建立了军事训练基地。武装分子储存武器，重新巡航和训练难民战士，并对卢旺达图西族领导的新政权发动跨界袭击。好战分子领导人对他们操纵胡图族难民和完成对图西族种族灭绝的计划幸灾乐祸。种族灭绝的胡图族领导人让·博斯科·巴拉亚格维扎在难民营中夸口说：”即使（图西族领导的卢旺达爱国阵线）赢得了军事胜利，他们也不会拥有权力。我们有人口。“'1996年底，武装团体的力量日益增强，引起卢旺达入侵扎伊尔，并袭击难民。国际人道主义组织一直定期向难民营和军事基地运送粮食和用品，直到入侵打乱了它们的行动。美国慈善机构CARE的首席执行官查尔斯·塔普（Charles Tapp）当时承认：“我们将为那些犯下种族灭绝罪的人提供食物。“2自难民危机以来，刚果东部已成为一场区域战争的中心，十几个国家和反叛团体相互交战，掠夺该地区的资源。估计有330万人死于战争，大多数死于可预防的疾病和营养不良。3
During the 1994-96 refugee crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo (then Zaire), Hutu perpetrators of the Rwandan genocide established military training bases adjacent to the Rwandan Hutu refugee camps. The militants stockpiled weapons, re-cruited and trained refugee fighters, and launched cross-border attacks against the new Tutsi-led regime in Rwanda. The militant leaders gloated about their manipulation of the Hutu refugees and their plan to complete the genocide of the Tutsi. From the camps, the genocidal Hutu leader Jean Bosco Barayagwiza boasted that" even if [the Tutsi-led Rwandan Patriotic Front] have won a mili-tary victory they will not have the power. We have the population."'In late 1996, the growing strength of the militant groups provoked a Rwandan inva-sion of Zaire and attacks against the refugees. Until the invasion disrupted their operations, international humanitarian organizations regularly delivered food and supplies to the refugee camps and military bases. The chief executive of the American charity CARE, Charles Tapp, admitted at the time," We are going to be feeding people who have been perpetrating genocide." 2 Since the refugee crisis, eastern Congo has become the epicenter of a regional war in which more than a dozen states and rebel groups have fought each other and plundered the region's resources. An estimated 3.3 million people have died as a result of the war, mostly from preventable diseases and mal-nutrition. 3
