The war and genocide in Rwanda in 1994 had significant repercussions for neighboring Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo). The influx of approximately 1.2 million Rwandan refugees, including many Hutu militants, destabilized Zaire's eastern provinces and exacerbated existing ethnic tensions. This situation ultimately contributed to the First Congo War in 1996, which led to the overthrow of dictator Mobutu Sese Seko. Furthermore, the chaos surrounding the Rwandan crisis set the stage for ongoing conflict and humanitarian crises in the region.
