Zaire's Rebels

NPR's Jennifer Ludden reports from Kinshasa on the surprisingly strong rebel movement which has emerged in eastern Zaire in the past two months. Led largely by ethnic Tutsis, the force is also made up of various Zairean tribes, and led by a Zairean opposition figure who helped lead a rebellion in the 1960's. The rebels have so far had a lot of success, easily capturing towns from the undisciplined Zairean army, which has devoted most of its time to retreating and pillaging.
