Thirty years ago, the rebel movement that was going to bring Mobutu down came to life in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The AFDL would serve as a spearhead to several countries in the region motivated by the fall of the Marshal. Deogratias Bugera, the last survivor of the four founding fathers, tells of the genesis of a "synergie in front of a common enemy".
