A Short, Recent History of the DRC
This video from The Economist gives a very short, recent history of the DRC, beginning in the 1990s to present. The site also contains short, clear videos of other areas of conflict in Africa, such as Sudan. It clearly states the players in the conflict. It would have been excellent if the presenter had gone back to the period of independence to trace some of the issues that contribute to the current story.

This video of the recent DRC history is so informative. I had heard about the Rwandan genocide but I don't think I've heard much about the conflict and turmoil in the DRC... Also, I am surprised that I've never heard of the assasination of Patrice Lumumba. I'm shocked at the part the US played in his assasination.
