Masisi Territory is a territory located within the North Kivu Province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
 Its political headquarters are located in the town of Masisi.
 Masisi Territory has constantly been subjected to the conflict between the Congolese army and militias, which has plagued the eastern Congo since the ending of the Second Congo War.
 Hutu and Tutsi militias originating from the Rwandan genocide and the Congolese civil war, and Mai-Mai groups, are involved in these episodes of conflict, which also relates to Rwandan border security and the control of eastern Congo's minerals by rebel groups and business interests.
 Armed groups have systematically targeted the civilian population.
The Congo Arab war (also known as the Congolese-Arab war and the Belgo-Arab War) took place in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo between the forces of Belgian King Leopold II's Congo Free State and various Zanzibari "Arab" slave traders led by Sefu bin Hamid, the son of Tippu Tip.
 Fighting occurred in the eastern Congo between 1892 and 1894.
 It was a proxy war, with most of the fighting being done by native Congolese, who aligned themselves with either side and sometimes switched sides.
 The causes of the war were mainly economic, since Leopold and the Arabs were contending to gain control of the wealth of the Congo.
 The war ended in January 1894 with a victory of Leopold's forces.
 Initially King Leopold II collaborated with the Arabs but competition over the control of ivory and Leopold II's humanitarian pledges to the Berlin Conference to end slavery, turned his stance to confrontational.
 The war against the Swahili-Arab economic and political power was presented as a Christian anti-slavery crusade.
The Free Republic of the Congo (French: "République Libre du Congo" ), also often referred to as Congo-Stanleyville, the Stanleyville government, or the Gizenga regime, was a short-lived rival government to the Republic of the Congo (Congo-Léopoldville) based in the eastern Congo and led by Antoine Gizenga.
The Mpama are an ethnic group that today live in eastern Congo and western Democratic Republic of Congo, mainly along the Congo River.

King Leopold II, the Belgian king and ruler of the Congo Free State, acquired the Lado Enclave in South Sudan from Britain in 1894 as part of a territory exchange which gave the British a strip of land along the eastern Congo for Belgian access to the navigable Nile.
 However, the territory was overrun with Mahdist rebels who had established their stronghold at the town of Rejaf, which occupied a valuable position for trade along the Nile river.
 After a wave of new funding from the Belgian government in 1895, King Leopold ordered an expedition to be led into the Lado Enclave to expel the Mahdists and fortify Rejaf as a strategic military and trading outpost.
The Stokes Affair (French: "L'Affair Stokes" ) or the Stokes-Lothaire Incident was a diplomatic incident between the Congo Free State and the British government in 1895.
 The affair emerged when Charles Stokes, an Irish trader and former Christian missionary, was arrested for illegal trading in the Congo and hanged without trial on 15 January 1895.
 The Belgian officer responsible for the execution, Captain Lothaire, was convinced that Stokes had been selling guns to Muslim rebels in the Eastern Congo in exchange for ivory.
 Lothaire was accused by the British public of having failed to provide Stokes with due process of law.
 He was charged with murder in Belgium but was acquitted to public outcry in the British Empire.
