A fresh explosion of looting has swept Lubumbashi, Zaire’s major copper-mining town, witnesses arriving in the capital of Kinshasa reported. “They looted everything, all night,” one said.
“They’ve stripped the face of the town.” The Central African country remained locked in a power struggle between President Mobutu Sese Seko and opposition Prime Minister Etienne Tshisekedi,
whom Mobutu has tried to fire. Belgian paratroopers in the southeast, meantime, evacuated 600 foreigners to Brazzaville, capital of the Congo.
