The war was started by Rwandan Tutsis using local Conglese rebels as aid. They regarded raids by Rwandan Hutu refugees across the porous border of the two countries as a constant threat. They also felt that they could put a puppet government in power, in the shape of the leader of the Congolese rebels' Laurent Kabila and deposing the dictator Mobutu.
