Major strike shuts down beleaguered Zaire capital
In Kinshasa, shops were closed and streets deserted as a one day general strike demanded Mobutu Sese Seko's ouster. Soldiers patrolled intersections firing in the air to break up a crowd outside Etienne Tshisekedi's house with no injuries reported. Rebels pressed advances as Mobutu reshuffled leadership. Tshisekedi had attempted to undermine Mobutu by dissolving Parliament and scrapping the constitution. Bizima Karaha, rebel spokesman, urged Mobutu’s departure to permit cease fire talks.
