Zaire troops repair a blown-up bridge on Lubuvi River. This bridge was blown by rebel troops as they fled after attack from joint Zaire/Moroccan troops. 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.
