Guardian Laurent Kabila Laurent-Désiré Kabila, president of the Democratic Republic of Congo, who has been assassinated aged 61, was a cheerful, rubicund rogue, portly in middle age, who spent most of his life in exile, engaged in the illegal diamond trade and wild schemes to overthrow the dictatorship of Joseph-Désiré Mobutu, his immediate predecessor. Kabila, who had established himself at Albertville (Kalemie), on the western shores of Lake Tanganyika, was soon forced by the mercenaries to retreat to the borders of Rwanda and Burundi. Forced to retreat, Kabila and his friends turned to the Cubans, and Che Guevara arrived on the Tanzanian-Congo border with a small contingent of guerrilla fighters in April 1965; Guevara recorded that Kabila "made an excellent impression", though he subsequently reconsidered this view. www.guardian.co.uk /print/0,3858,4119702-103684,00.html
