Refugees Flee Rebels Near Kisangani in Zaire Crisis
International aid workers abandoned Kisangani as tens of thousands prepare to flee toward safety amid advancing rebels led by Laurent Kabila. About 170000 refugees at Tingi Tingi risk food shortages as WFP withdraws, leaving food for a week. As clashes threaten, refugees seek routes toward Kisangani or home, while Mobutu demands Rwandan and Ugandan forces withdraw.
