Six-Day War (2000)

The Six-Day War (Guerre des Six Jours) was a series of violent confrontations between the Ugandan and Rwandan armies at the city of Kisangani from Monday 5 to 10 June 2000 in Congo-Kinshasa during the Second Congo War. Per the group, Justice et Libération, a human-rights organisation based in Kisangani, the violence caused around 1,000 deaths and wounded at least 3,000, with the majority being civilians. The event is called the "Six Day War", not only due to its literal six-day duration, but due to its sharing its 05 to 10 June timeline with the Six Day War between Israel and the Arab League in 1967.

Kisangani was also a scene of violence between Rwandan and Ugandan troops in August 1999 and 5 May 2000. However, the conflicts of June 2000 were the most lethal, and seriously damaged a large part of the city with more than 6,600 rounds fired.
