Laurent-Désiré Kabila -- In the early 1970s, his People's Revolutionary Party established a _liberated zone_ in Kivu Province, and spent the next 20 years in periodic fighting with the government of Mobutu. During the 1970s, Mohamed (Mo) Amin, also known as ‘Six Camera Mo’ became one of the most relied-upon African news photographers, reporting on wars and coups all through the African continent and his pictures were often used by Western news media. In 1977, Mo Amin extensively reported on the war in Shaba, Zaire.
