Crucial to this overthrow were the concerted international efforts to cover up or at least minimize the body count associated with the invasion, which marked the beginning of a long and ugly conflict that has stripped Congo of its sovereignty, its safety and its resources. Rwanda's 30-year assault on Congo traces the roots of Kagame's campaign and the impunity granted by the United States and its allies. It explores the early US support to Kagame's rebels from the 1980s to their seizure of power in Rwanda in 1994, via Uganda, Washington's geopolitical lynchpin on the African continent. The author examines the tactics Rwanda has used to infiltrate and subjugate Congo in a military campaign that has left millions of Congolese dead, created wealth for Rwandan oligarchs and enriched multinationals and international elites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJudi Rever is an investigative journalist from Montreal who covered the overthrow of Congo's dictator Mobutu Sese Seko and the humanitarian crisis that ensued in 1997.
