The latest issue of the fortnightly journal, Romarques Congol~ aises and Africaines, reports that the armed forces of the liboration movement in Kwilu Region have won massive support from the local population. According to tho magazine, this support flows from the policy of following 8 rules. These are: (1) respect all peoples (2) buy things from villagers honestly 3 (3) roturn all borrowed things in time and conscientiously; (4) humbly pay for things damaged; (5) don't boat or abuse others; (6) don't destroy or damage the farm lands of the villagers; (7) respect women and don't insult thems; and (8) don't maltreat prisoners of war or confiscate their personal belongings.
The magazino contrasted this with tho U.S—fostered Adoula Government's policy of burn=—all and kill-all, "Since Septomber, 1963, during the regional census, the police and men of the Congolese National Army had started savage oppression in the zones under suspicion by arresting several hundred people," the magazine said, "In a search for partisan leaders at the end of Septmber, the Adoula polico and army first burned down a village in tho Lukamba sector and massacred all its inhabitants, and then sot fire to tho whole region, killing all the villagers there."
