La segunda guerra del Congo —conocida también como guerra mundial africana, gran guerra de África o la guerra del Coltán— fue el conflicto armado que tuvo lugar en gran parte del territorio de la República Democrática del Congo, con posterioridad a la primera guerra del Congo. Este conflicto se inició en 1998 y terminó formalmente en 2003, cuando asumió el poder un gobierno de transición bajo los términos del Acuerdo de Pretoria. Los combatientes provenían de nueve naciones, lo que lo convierte en el conflicto continental africano más grande del que se tenga noticia.

Operation Kitona
Operation Kitona was a Rwandan/Ugandan offensive that marked the beginning of the Second Congo War. Rwanda hoped to depose Laurent-Désiré Kabila and install a government more favorable to Rwanda's interests by quickly taking control of Kinshasa and the strategic western province of Bas-Congo. On August 4, 1998, joint Rwandan and Ugandan forces launched a surprise attack on Kitona airbase in Western Congo using hijacked civilian airliners. While initially successful in taking control of major ports and infrastructure, Zimbabwean and Angolan intervention prevented the Rwandans and Ugandans from taking control of Kinshasa. The invading forces were forced to withdraw to the jungles of Angola until they were evacuated by air to Rwanda in late 1998.

2001 Bunia clashes and massacre
The 2001 Bunia clashes and massacre was a sequence of interrelated attacks carried out on 19 January 2001 in and around Bunia, the capital of Ituri Province in northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, during a major intensification of Hema–Lendu conflict while the city was under the military control of the Ugandan People's Defence Force (UPDF). The violence began with a dawn attack by Lendu-Ngiti fighters near Bunia Airport, aimed in part at destroying a Ugandan helicopter used in earlier operations. The attack resulted in the massacre of about 50 Hema civilians and the wounding of at least 20 more, before UPDF troops pushed back the attackers and killed an estimated 60 Lendu-Ngiti fighters.

Bogoro massacre
The Bogoro massacre, which occurred on February 24, 2003, was an attack on the village of Bogoro in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) by the Nationalist and Integrationist Front (FNI) and the Front for Patriotic Resistance of Ituri (FRPI). The attackers allegedly went on an "indiscriminate killing spree", killing at least 200 civilians, imprisoning survivors in a room filled with corpses, and sexually enslaving women and girls. Two rebel leaders, Germain Katanga and Mathieu Ngudjolo Chui, have been charged by the International Criminal Court with war crimes and crimes against humanity over their alleged role in planning the attack.

Operation Artemis
Operation Artemis, formally European Union Force Democratic Republic of the Congo, was a short-term European Union-led UN-authorised military mission to the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2003, during the Ituri conflict. ARTEMIS is considered the first military operation led by the EU, the first autonomous EU operation, the first rapid response mission of the EU, first operation outside Europe, first operation applying the principle of the framework nation and first example of "relay operation", conducted in cooperation between the EU and the United Nations. The deployment of EUFOR troops quickly decreased the conflict's intensity. It marked the first autonomous EU military mission outside Europe and an important milestone in development of the European Security and Defence Policy.
