Which countries supported the rebels during the Second Congo War?

During the Second Congo War (1998–2003), the rebel factions attempting to overthrow the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo were primarily supported by the governments of Rwanda and Uganda.1

By the end of 1998, these two countries had backed rebel forces that controlled approximately one-third of the country. While the Congolese government, led by Laurent Kabila, received military support from Angola, Namibia, and Zimbabwe, the Rwandan and Ugandan governments provided critical backing to the various rebel groups throughout the conflict. These neighboring states, along with the armed groups themselves, were also noted for profiting from the illicit exploitation of valuable mineral resources in the eastern provinces, such as gold, diamonds, and coltan.1
