In August 1998, Rwanda and Uganda backed a rebellion against the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Subsequently, DRC provided training, arms, and supplies to ALIR in exchange for ALIR's assistance in countering the rebellion.  ALIR had now secured financial backing to counter the Rwandan government, one of ALIR's principal objectives.   However, ALIR also targeted innocent civilians, including the murder of eight foreign tourists in 1999.  In 2001 ALIR was superseded by another organization, Democratic Front for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR).   FDLR has forged alliances with other Rwandan insurgent groups, including some non-Hutu organizations.  In 2002, Rwandan forces withdrew form eastern Congo and the DRC government ceased its financial support of ALIR/FDLR.

Recent reports have noted the Army's increased anti-gay rhetoric and worry that this may be a precursor to attacks on gays and lesbians.

The Army of the Corsican people is a Corsican separatist organization. The group is responsible for a series of small bombings beginning in late 2004.  One of the bombings targeted Bordeaux's city hall as the city's mayor, Alain Juppe, was in court on corruption charges.  The Army of the Corsican People's attack on Bordeaux marked a significant departure from past Corsican separatist violence by targeting mainland France.  Previously, most attacks by Corsican separatists had been restricted to the island of Corsica.  The group's intention is to minimize casualties while maximizing the visibility of the Corsican separatist movement.  The Army of the Corsican People claims to strive for an end to violence in Corsica and describes its attacks as warnings to France's ruling party, the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP).

While the Army of the Corsican People is a relatively new group, it is safe to say that it will continue low-level attacks in the immediate future.  Corsican separatist violence is likely to become an increasingly problematic issue for the French government as the Army of the Corsican People strives to increase pressure on the UMP to relinquish control of Corsica.
