war films and martial arts, earning him the nickname “War Bus” from his
schoolmates in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Given the amount of conflict Kabila has
been involved in throughout his career, the nickname was pretty spot on.

victory of the Alliance of Democratic Forces for the Liberation of
Congo-Zaire (AFDL), studying at the PLA National Defense University in Beijing,
