...were lined up and stripped naked. It was a cashiering, Congo-style. According to their superiors, the punished men had accepted bribes in a plot to overthrow the government. This plot failed, but there are plenty of others going. Again the Congo is rumbling, and Premier Cyrille Adoula is feeling the ground shake under...
...Kill . . . Kill." Moderate, Westward-leaning Premier Cyrille Adoula desperately wants the U.N. to stay, is considering a personal appeal to the General Assembly as a last resort. With elections scheduled for next spring, the Congo's old extremists are lurking in the wings. Egide Davidson Bocheley, partisan of the erratic late Premier Patrice Lumumba, outlined his national policy recently at a press conference: "Kill Adoula! Kill [President Joseph] Kasavubu!

Instead, Premier Cyrille Adoula's government dispatched the Congolese army commander, General Joseph Mobutu, and units of red-bereted paracommandos to the police compound. Ordering his men not to shoot, Mobutu opened the camp's gate and strode in alone and unarmed to face the mutineers. Roughly he yanked the ringleaders out of the mob one by one, and demanded that they give up. With that the revolt collapsed, and Mobutu-his well-creased trousers stained with a spot of blood-ordered the mutiny's leaders stripped to their underwear and driven off to jail through...
