The complex conflict in the Congo, which has been simmering for years, recently erupted again, with rebels led by dissident General Laurent Nkunda capturing the Congolese Army post of Rumangabo, and nearby Virunga National Park headquarters. Fighting near the park headquarters continues, and in addition to creating a severe humanitarian crisis, it has led to questions as to whether the gorillas are able to be protected. Fleeing rangers have left vulnerable the Park’s Mikeno sector, which is the gorillas’ home.
