BATTLE FOR ZAIRE, ROUND TWO For the second time in 14 months, rebel forces have invaded the rich Shaba province of Zaire (formerly the Belgian Congo). In March of last year a similar invasion from Marxist Angola was repulsed. This time, however, the assault could prove to be more difficult to deal with. Last time, the rebels, remnants of the old Katangese units that fought the Central Congolese government in 1961, were trained but apparently not led into battle by their Cuban advisors. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
