African wars refer to various conflicts that have occurred across the continent, often driven by factors such as colonialism, ethnic tensions, and competition for resources. Notable examples include the Second Congo War, which involved multiple African nations and resulted in millions of deaths, and the Rwandan Genocide, where ethnic violence led to the deaths of around 800,000 people in just 100 days. These wars have had significant impacts on the political and social landscape of Africa. They often result in humanitarian crises, displacing millions and creating long-lasting instability. Efforts for peace and reconciliation continue in many regions, highlighting the need for sustainable solutions to prevent future conflicts.
