In the aftermath of the 1994 Rwandan genocide , over two million people fled into neighboring countries , in particular Zaire . The refugee camps were soon controlled by the former government and Hutu militants who used the camps as bases to launch attacks against the new government in Rwanda . Little action was taken to resolve the situation and the crisis did not end until Rwanda-supported rebels forced the refugees back across the border at the beginning of the First Congo War
