A very informative interview with President Joseph Kabila. After I read the article, I am not sure if others could have done a better job. I know that talk is fast, cheap and easy, but turning around the Congo will take a long time, reconstruction will be expensive, and healing the conflict will be difficult.
For Congo’s Leader, Middling Reviews
THERE seem to be two Joseph Kabilas running Congo.
One is the archetypal African president, a strongman who rolls into town in an impressive column of steel with hundreds of machine-gun-toting, ski-mask-wearing bodyguards, and who has been widely accused of silencing political enemies with heavy doses of lead.
But the other Joseph Kabila seems different. He is a shy man with a warm, almost Caribbean lilt to his voice and a convincing, unpretentious air.
