His life:
Kabila was born in January 1938 in Angkoru, Shaba Province, and belongs to the Mulopakat, a Luba. He received a simple elementary education, then Kabila won an educational scholarship to study political philosophy at the University of France. After obtaining a BA in political philosophy, he obtained another scholarship in China, where Mao Zedong was to study the distinctive Chinese communism, but Kabila chose to study military sciences. Then he returned to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and joined the national movement led by Lumumba and was the leader of the youth wing of the movement. Roland Kabila became a member of the Zairian legislature known as "Katanga" in 1960 A.D. After the coup against Lumumba, he led a movement opposed to Mobutu - based mainly on the Tutsi tribes - I tried to bring him down by military force.
Rebellion Attempts:
Kabila's first attempt to rebel was in the first year of Mobutu’s rule (1960 CE), so he set off with some armed men from the area of Roses near Uvira in the east of the country, but Mobutu’s forces were able to crush this rebellion immediately with the help of aircraft from the United States of America and paratroopers from Belgium (another The occupiers of Zaire), and at that time managed to flee outside the borders, taking advantage of the experiences of local fighters who knew the forest paths and rugged roads, and was able to reach Tanzania.
In 1967 Kabila announced the formation of the Revolutionary People's Party, and formed 26 members of its executive committee, and the new party took the headquarters of the Kivu district in eastern Zaire outside of Mobutu’s control, and formed a military wing to lead the revolution against Mobutu with the help of the Tutsi tribes. She was angry with Mobutu, especially after he had robbed her of some of the privileges she had enjoyed.
Kabila cared for the new party to have a popular base from the masses of peasants, and thanks to financial and military aid from the Soviet Union, China and Cuba, some educational and health projects surfaced that attracted the sympathy of the poor visitor peasants. Work in Africa was shared by a hundred Cuban revolutionaries led by Guevara, the Marxist leader. The famous who criticized Kabila's "bourgeois" and condescending behavior over the African peasantry.
In 1975, he kidnapped three American students and a German researcher who were in Zaire, and demanded a ransom of $ 500,000, and shipments of medium and light weapons from the United States. After secret negotiations between Kabila and the United States, the hostages were announced. And after the failure of his successive revolutions against Mobutu, he settled in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, and worked in trade, and was known for his extravagance and remarkable extravagance in areas brimming with poverty and deprivation.
Access to Power Amended:
Kabila found the opportunity in the mid-1990s when major crises flared up in the African Lakes region, so he reorganized his forces from African tribes. It was clear that he possessed very huge financial and military capabilities that no country in the region had available. In August 1998, the capital, "Kinshasa", fell into the hands of Laurent Kabila and his army rushing towards it, after the fall and death of the dictator Mobutussi Seko, and he renamed the country "Congo" as well. It was before Mobutu.
In Power Amended:
Although he is a former leftist claiming allegiance to "Lumumba" and has included Lumumba's daughter "Julen" in his government (Francois, one of Lumumba's sons, an opponent of Kabila), Kabila reinstated Mobutu's career in corruption, human rights violations, and the establishment of power for his son after him, and he executed thousands of people extrajudicially, and expelled more than three hundred judges remained in office, the constitution remained suspended, hundreds of human rights defenders and political leaders were arrested, refugees were forcibly returned to countries where they faced the risk of violating their rights, and more than two hundred politicians were prevented from running for the presidential elections, and only hundreds of soldiers were executed. Because they are Tutsi, thousands of unarmed civilians are killed.
His Assassination is Justice:
In January 2001 he was assassinated by one of the military commanders, Deputy Defense Minister Col. "Kimbe", who was sacked by Kabila along with other senior Congolese Armed Forces officers for their conduct in the country's civil war. His son Joseph took power.
