First Congo War

AD – MPE: 0.01

ND – MPE: 0.23

On his website “Necrometrics” White cites estimates for the number of people killed in the First Congo War from 1996 to 1997, which range from 0.2 to 0.3 million. Most of the victims were Hutu refugees, who were killed by the RPF and AFDL with strong support from Rwanda and Uganda. The US supported Rwanda, Uganda and Kabila. France supported Mobutu. I blame advanced democracies for 2 to 6 percent of the war victims.

Plausible estimates for the number of civilians killed by nondemocracies range from 0.18 to 0.28 million. I choose 0.23 as the most plausible estimate. 0.01 is the most plausible estimate for the number of civilians killed by advanced democracies.
