The Second Bagongo War is an ongoing military conflict in Bagongo, with some minor spillovers into neighbouring countries in Afruika. It started in August 2019 after the shootdown of a plane carrying Bagongolese President Michael Zuluka, killing him and many other Butu government officials. Zuluka's successor, Arthur Bukenya, accused the Miyazenga-dominated rebel group FROLIBO, led by ousted President Paul Mugerwa, of having conducting the attack. Several days afterwards, Butu child soldiers stormed the National Assembly during an emergency session and massacred dozens of Miyazenga politicians. The government then ordered the beginning of a mass genocide against the Miyazenga, with thousands being killed by soldiers and Butu militias, ending the peace brought about by the OAC-mediated Gola Accords in 2017 after the First Bagongo War. The conflict continues to escalate.
