Rebel movements and proxy warfare: Uganda, Sudan and the Congo (1986–99)

Gérard Prunier

Gérard Prunier is at present the Director of the French Center for Ethiopian Studies in Addis Ababa

Abstract

Sudan and Uganda have for many years carried out an undeclared war. One little-known aspect of this conflict is the use of Zaire/Congo as an outside battlefield where proxy guerrilla organizations either fought each other or fought the armies of their sponsor’s enemy. From a small scale prior to 1996, the conflict grew to occupy a major place in terms of men engaged and battles fought after this proxy war morphed into the bigger ‘Congolese’ conflict which developed from the fall of President Mobutu and lasted until 2002.
