Thursday, April 21st 1977. Footage of President Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire (formerly Congo Kinshasa and now the DRC) presenting a group of prisoners who had been captured after a series of anti-insurgency operations during what is known as the Shaba I conflict. This war in what used to be known as Katanga, started when around 2,000 Katangan Congolese soldiers of the Front for the National Liberation of the Congo (FNLC) crossed into Zaire from Angola. The FNLC were backed by Angola, as well as, allegedly, the Soviet Union, East Germany and Cuba, while Mobutu's national army, Forces Armées Zaïroises (FAZ) received support from Morocco, Egypt, France and Belgium. The conflict is particularly notable because it involved the intervention of the "Safari Club", an alliance of national intelligence service organisations which organised covert operations in Africa during the post-Watergate period when investigations into CIA activity of the past by the Church Committee and the Pike Committee had curtailed the power of the CIA. The Shaba I conflict lasted from March 8 – May 26, 1977 and resulted in the expulsion of the FLC from Zaire. A second conflict, Shaba II, erupted in May 1978. It resulted in an agreement between Zaire and Angola not to support insurgecies in each other's country. Reuters Text: "The rally, attended by 60,000 Zaireans, was held in a football stadium. They'd been told there was to be a rally but they did not know the two prisoners were to be put on show. In the capital, there have been few reminders that there has been fighting going on in the country, and the rally appeared to be the most enthusiastic of the three President Mobutu has organised. President Mobutu received a rousing welcome from his countrymen. The reported invasion of the country by insurgent forces occurred early last month. Since then President Mobutu has charged the Soviet Union, Cuba and Angola with sending troops into Zaire to support the insurgents. The three countries have repeatedly denied Zaire's charges of involvement in the fighting. President Mobutu has also accused the Soviet Union of infiltrating agents into the framework of Zairean life in order to spread subversion. Then came the moment when the unheralded prisoners were brought out and the already enthusiastic crowd went wild. They were displayed in an army jeep and taken around the stadium. Referring to the Soviet Union's claims of non-involvement in the fighting, President Mobutu said, "They are liars". Later the two prisoners were presented to journalists at a news conference where captured arms and forged money were also on display. The forgeries were reported to be of rather poor quality. The two prisoners, captured at Kayembe, said they'd been trained by Cubans and Russians in Angola. They did say that Cubans were among their troops. Source: Reuters News Archive.
