Hostage Rescue : Congo 1978
|
|||||||
| On 11 May 1978, a crisis developed in Zaire when 4,000 members of the Congo National Liberation Front seized Kolwezi. Reports emerged of massacres of Europeans. Mindful of similar incidents fourteen years earlier in the then Belgian Congo, Belgium, France, Great Britain and the United States monitored the situation, but only France was prepared to act. | |||||||
| This web site has been produced by Brush Fire Films to remember the story of the Kolwezi and to reunite veterans of 2REP and the civilians they rescued
