The town was the scene of a decisive battle in December 2000 during the Second Congo War which resulted in both sides making more active efforts to achieve peace. Pweto and the surrounding region were devastated during the war. As of 2011[update] little had been done to restore infrastructure or rebuild the economy. The town is served by Pweto Airport. [...] Pweto today [edit]Pweto is the largest town between Moliro on the shore of Lake Tanganyika and the Katangan provincial capital Lubumbashi.[11] As of 2010[update] the population of Pweto was estimated at 24,767.[12] Although the civil war ended in 2003, the region has been severely damaged by the civil war and reconstruction has been slow. Basic government services are still not available, public infrastructure is in poor condition and the local economy is scarcely functional. Corruption and lack of confidence in stability are handicaps to investment.[13]
