Best Answer

It began as a war over riches and minerals People with guns were ranked above those without, simply because if they didn't listen to the people with guns they would die. As you can imagine, this created some conflict. It escalated and groups began to form. These groups often killed each other for more money and power. On more than one occasion these groups have tried taking the presidency, which is almost just as unstable. The scenario is actually technically not a genocide; because the killings are not aimed at any specific group of people. It is in fact aimed at their own people through selfish wants and desires. It has left the country in ruin and is still extremely unstable.
