 INCORE: Publications and Papers:Conference Reports: The UN in the Congo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The Congo --Zaire--is a vast country centrally placed, bordering on east, west, central and southern African states and, for those who like to think and talk geopolitically (and there were many more of those around in 1960 than would be found today) it seemed strategically of great significance.
The Congo was under-populated, with the bulk of the population living close to its periphery and many of the tribes and ethnic groups spilling over into neighbouring states rather than relating to each other.
The UN therefore closed airfields throughout the Congo (insofar as they controlled them) to all but UN traffic and also shut down Leo radio in order, it was said, to deny it to both sides.
