Operation Kitona was a Rwandan/Ugandan offensive that marked the beginning of the Second Congo War. Rwanda hoped to depose Laurent-Désiré Kabila and install a government more favorable to Rwanda's interests by quickly taking control of Kinshasa and the strategic western province of Bas-Congo (today Kongo Central). On August 4, 1998, joint Rwandan and Ugandan forces launched a surprise attack on Kitona airbase in Western Congo using hijacked civilian airliners. While initially successful in taking control of major ports and infrastructure, Zimbabwean and Angolan intervention prevented the Rwandans and Ugandans from taking control of Kinshasa. The invading forces were forced to withdraw to the jungles of Angola until they were evacuated by air to Rwanda ending December 24, 1998.

Operação Kitona foi uma ofensiva ruandesa e ugandense que marcou o início da Segunda Guerra do Congo. Ruanda esperava destituir Laurent-Désiré Kabila e instalar um governo mais favorável aos interesses ruandenses, tomando rapidamente o controle de Kinshasa e da estratégica província ocidental do Bas-Congo (hoje Kongo Central). Em 4 de agosto de 1998, forças conjuntas ruandesas e ugandenses lançaram um ataque surpresa na base aérea de Kitona, no oeste do Congo, usando aviões civis sequestrados. Embora inicialmente tenha conseguido tomar o controle dos principais portos e infra-estruturas, a intervenção do Zimbabué e de Angola impediu os ruandeses e os ugandenses de assumirem o controle de Kinshasa. As forças invasoras foram forçadas a retirar-se para as selvas de Angola até serem evacuadas

Today the operation is studied for its daring initial aerial assault, as well as the intelligence failures on the Rwandan side.

Hoje, a operação é estudada pela ousada agressão aérea inicial, bem como pelas falhas de inteligência no lado ruandês.
