Answer 1

The correct choice is:
"The atrocities in the DRC were triggered by fighting between Tutsis and Hutus in Rwanda spilling over the border. The two ethnic groups had a long history of tension."

Brief explanation: After the 1994 Rwandan genocide, Hutu militias and refugees moved into eastern DRC and Rwandan Tutsi-led forces pursued them across the border. That spillover of the Hutu–Tutsi conflict, rooted in long-standing ethnic tensions, helped spark and sustain widespread violence and atrocities in the DRC.
