	Patterns of State Collapse and Reconstruction in Central Africa: Reflections on the Crisis in the Great Lakes
		Built around a hard-core faction of ethnic Tutsi from North and South Kivu (the so-called Banyamulenge) and with the backing of APR units, Kabila's AFDL emerged as the spearhead of a local rebellion which quickly snowballed into a mass movement.

		If the situation in the Kivus is any index, many are the civil society organizations (CSO) that could have provided the social ballast needed to reconstruct the new polity, but so far their place in the new dispensation appears extremely nebulous.
