Zaire soldiers pile up in buses for transport to frontline positions. 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.
