Laurent Kabila: The Rise and Fall of Congo's President | African Biographics

It’s been over 20 years since the assassination of the Democratic Republic of Congo's former president Laurent-Désiré Kabila at the hands of his child soldiers. Kabila was the leader of the rebellion that overthrew President Mobutu of Zaire in 1997 and restored the country's name. What many don’t know about him is how he spent most of his life in exile, engaged in the illegal gold and diamond trade and wild schemes to overthrow the dictatorship of Joseph-Désiré Mobutu, his immediate predecessor. Along the way, he briefly recruited Che Guevara in 1965, and the armies of Uganda and Rwanda, which helped bring him to power in 1997. In this episode of African Biographics we look at the rise and fall of Laurent Desire Kabila of the DRC. ***************************************************************************************************** Sources: https://reliefweb.int/report/angola/h... https://www.blackpast.org/global-afri... https://www.sahistory.org.za/people/l... https://www.britannica.com/biography/... https://www.theafricareport.com/57205... https://mg.co.za/article/2001-01-19-w...
