		AFDL pronouncements, the only ones to be heard, focused on the progress of the war, the rebuilding of the country and encomiums to the rebel leaders.
		AFDL, with the support of the Rwandan Patriotic Army, took a direct part in the conflict, using three helicopters to destroy, among other cities, Masisi, where the hospital was burned down and the patients murdered.
		For instance, it was reported that public beatings of AFDL opponents are commonplace, as is the bastonnade, a practice reminiscent of the colonial era.

	Africa Update Archives
		Indeed, once faced with the fundamentally anti-Kins hasa reformist platform of the AFDL, the Kinshasa-based opposition (pro-Mobutu and "radical opposition" alike) will close ranks against Kabila by relying on their shared clientelist roots and experiences (note that most of the "radical opposition" members were part of the clientelist network from which they benefited immensely).
		First, because Kabila and the AFDL were not part of the clientelist politics of the Mobutu regime, and because they control the only viable military force, they are better suited than any other political group to govern during the transition period.
		In committing themselves to the dismantlement of clientelist politics, Kabila and the AFDL accept ipso facto a new role for political parties, including a constructively active participation in the framing of the new constitution that will serve as the document of reference for governing the country after the three years of transition.

	FWDP -- Geostrategies in the Great Lakes Conflict and Spatial Designs for Peace
		From September 1996 various militias within the AFDL were engaged in combat with both the Zaïrean Army, Hutu militias, and various ethnic allies.
		The numerous militias of the AFDL consolidated their territorial gains and then advanced both northward along the Ugandan border to just short of the Sudan border and westward toward Kisangani, the head of the navigable part of the Zaïre river and Zaïre's third largest city [still held by Zaïrean troops in late February].
		Uganda's President Museveni is a Tutsi descendant and a solid ally of the AFDL and the Tutsi-dominated regimes in Rwanda and Burundi.

		The AFDL is also reported to have received support in personnel and military equipment from Burundi, Uganda and Angola and fighters from as far away as Somalia, Eritrea and Ethiopia, although their involvement in killings and other abuses has remained unclear.
		In almost all cases, foreign governments that were known to have influence on the AFDL limited their concern to facilitation of the repatriation of refugees, and paid negligible attention to measures to prevent massacres of the refugees.
		When the AFDL seized vehicles and fuel used by humanitarian organizations it must have been aware that the life-saving activities of these organizations would be severely inhibited and many refugees and displaced people could lose their lives as a result.

		Some members of the AFDL are reported to have spat in the mouths of their victims, a practice that many say is meant to humiliate the victims.
		It is clear that most of the detentions carried out by the ANR or the AFDL without the authorization of the judiciary or any other independent authority do not conform to many of the principles and standards which have received international recognition, nor to international treaties which the DRC is obliged to abide by.
		The AFDL has publicly stated that one of the main reasons for taking up arms against the government of former President Mobutu was the discrimination exercised by the former government against members of the Tutsi ethnic group in South and North-Kivu.

	Operation Assurance: The Greatest Intervention That Never Happened
		Yet, despite Kabila's assertion that the AFDL was a new force for good in the region and not interested in mass slaughter, the evidence pointed to the contrary.
		The AFDL continues to deny massacring Hutus in east Zaire, yet they also continue to prevent unhindered access to areas of reported atrocities.
		The AFDL were able to secure a bridgehead in Kivu from which they launched their meteoric campaign in the rest of the country.

	Report of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (former Zaire)
		Public support for AFDL can be accounted for by what Kabila said when he launched his drive for power, namely, that his struggle was motivated by the non-observance of the CNS agreements.
		AFDL pronouncements, the only ones to be heard, spoke only of the progress of the war, the rebuilding of the country and encomiums to the rebel leaders.
		Ndakpala Bulunda, a university professor and AFDL chairman in Rungu, was murdered by soldiers in Isiro Eastern Province, on 16 December.

	The EastAfrican
		When the AFDL's representatives started calling the BBC offices in Nairobi in late 1996, claiming they would march all the way to Kinshasa, journalists dismissed them with a weary shrug as yet another unknown guerrilla movement, the length of its constituent acronyms only rivalled by its obscurity, making wild plans and farcical claims.
		Anywhere else in the world, the AFDL story would have probably been one of raids on helpless villages, a few clashes with the army, limited annexations of land.
		At the first hint of an encounter with the AFDL and their Rwandan and Ugandan allies, Zaire's hated army was grabbing what it could find, stealing the four-wheel drive vehicles owned by the aid agencies and heading for the interior.

		Since March 15 therefore, the AFDL has had a relatively easy time taking control of important regions of the country, thanks to the complicity of the FAZ, along with that of the Zairian population, and even of those in positions of responsibility within the country.
		As the AFDL forces continue to advance towards Kinshasa, the level of uncertainty is rising among both the population and the political class.
		In order to maintain security, the AFDL has entrusted former FAZ major, Loange Mungelu, a graduate of the Ecole Royale de Belgique, with the task of establishing a police force which will operate independently of the regular army, and which will be in direct contact with the population.

	Amnesty International 24 March 1997
		Among other measures, Amnesty International has called upon the AFDL to cease attacking refugee camps and for members of the former Rwandese Armed Forces (commonly known as ex-FAR) and interahamwe militia to refrain from using the camps as bases for armed activities.1 Ex-FAR and interahamwe reportedly figure prominently among the remaining refugees.
		There is mounting evidence that the AFDL has carried out a deliberate campaign of arbitrary killings and attacks of refugees who have refused or been too afraid to go back to Rwanda and of Zaïrian Hutu, particularly males of fighting age.
		Governments, particularly those which have close relations with or influence over the AFDL and the Zairian Government, must demand that parties to the conflict allow full and impartial investigations into these reports and others, in all parts of Zaire under their control.

		Seized drugs such as opium, morphine, heroin and cocaine are often measured for impurities to pinpoint their origin.
		AFDL and ANSTO scientists have now demonstrated that carbon dating – the method better known for use on ancient relics such as Aboriginal rock art–provides this information.
		Using samples obtained in recent drug seizures, AFDL ascertained where the drug came from by measuring the identifiable impurities in the sample.

	Providing Humanitarian Assistance behind Rebel Lines:
		In practical terms, the AFDL forbade direct contacts between UN offices in its territory (or “zone” as the UN called it) and UN offices in the rest of the country.
		The territory under the responsibility of the EZO Chief of Operations was to be the territory behind the AFDL front line.
		Yet the AFDL did not declare itself to be the legitimate government of Zaïre/Congo until it captured the capital city of Kinshasa on 17 May 1997.

	The Militant - 6/9/97 -- Imperialists Scramble For Congo Investments
		As the businessmen meet with the new Congolese government, Washington and other imperialist governments are striving to ensure a stable, pliant administration in Kinshasa.
		Former defense minister Francois Leotard called the French government's decision to back Mobutu longer than Washington a "tactical, moral, and geopolitical setback" that "highlights the ambiguities and shortcomings of our African policy." The U.S. and French rulers are in competition over influence in central Africa, where Paris has long been the dominant imperialist power.
		Kabila announced an initial cabinet of 13, which could be expanded to as many as 20 members.
