Zaire troops

At one of the front line positions, Zairean troops prepare to fire mortars at their enemy. 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.
