For example, in the civil war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (former Zaire), rather than rich, non-African countries intervening, neighbouring African countries became involved (see also Second Congo War).
I borgerkrigen i den Demokratiske Republik Congo (tidligere Zaire), blev et halvt dusin afrikanske nabolande involveret frem for intervention fra rige, ikke-afrikanske lande (se også den anden krig i Congo).
