Kanyarwanda War
The Kanyarwanda War (French: Guerre de Kanyarwanda) was a conflict in the northeastern region of Congo-Léopoldville, specifically the newly-established province of North Kivu, between the Banyarwanda[1][2] and indigenous groups within North Kivu including the Hunde and Nande groups[3] that lasted from 1963 to 1966.[1] It was sparked by years of ethnic tensions between the Banyarwandan people (Hutu and Tutsi people who originated from that area as well), who had significant influence and power in North Kivu and surrounding provinces, and native groups such as the Hunde and Nande groups.
