Congo Army Moves Against Rebel Forces Near Leopoldville
The Congolese army says it routed a rebel band 150 miles northeast of Leopoldville, scattering fighters across the Congo River into the Congo Republic. Yet many rebels, some Communist backed, still operate across about a sixth of the country, hindering Premier Moise Tshombe’s bid to unite the Congo. The government claimed a rare victory, vowing national reconciliation, as rebels fled from Kolo near BoBo, having crossed from the Congo Republic. Tshombe tours the east, promising reform amid accusations of corrupt administrators. He alleges Red Chinese involvement and showed captured writings by Mao Tze-tung to foreign diplomats in Leopoldville.
