Abstract

Fourteen months after his forces deposed Zairean dictator Mobutu Sese Seko, Laurent Kabila's government in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DROC) is internationally isolated and facing formidable internal problems. Kabila has alienated the West with his 'anti-imperialist' rhetoric and his refusal to allow serious investigation of the massacres of Hutu refugees by his Tutsi supporters that took place during the struggle to overthrow Mobutu. Relations between the Tutsi and other ethnic groups in the DROC are, however, already tense, and Kabila is not in a position further to alienate Tutsi leaders by allowing them to be named as responsible for atrocities.
