It was founded through an amalgamation of other Hutu groups in September 2000, including the former Army for the Liberation of Rwanda (ALiR), under the leadership of Paul Rwarakabije. It was active during the latter phases of the Second Congo War and the subsequent insurgencies in Kivu.

In December 2008 DR Congo and Rwanda agreed to attempt to disband the FDLR, though they will have to destroy the organization by force or otherwise shut it down. On January 20, 2009, the Rwandan Army, in concert with the Congolese government, entered the DR Congo to hunt down lingering FDLR fighters.

As of 2010, the FDLR remains active as part of the ongoing conflict in Kivu. In 2020, an FDLR commando unit ambushed DR Congo park rangers in Virunga National Park, killing 12 rangers, a driver, and 4 civilians. It is believed that the vehicles transporting these people were mistaken by the FDLR for a convoy escorting a Congolese general.

Previously in 2019, their leader Sylvestre Mudacumura had been killed during an attempted arrest (he was wanted by the ICC for a number of war crimes).
 
In February 2021 the FDLR was accused of killing Luca Attanasio, the Italian ambassador to the DRC. However, investigations revealed that a local gang had killed Attanasio in an attempted kidnapping for ransom.
