Youth Side' 0i Rebels Are Killers l

LEOPOLDVILLE lAPt — Thel jeunesse. the youth wing of the| Congolese rebels. has taken al sadlslif part in wanton killingsj in the strife-torn Congo.

Originally associated with var-

{nus political parties. the mur-l dermis juvenile delinquents have l been a problem in The Congol since it got its independence from Belgium in 1960. ',\dorned with magic relics and. fetish symbols. the .leunesse (young onesl have provided the. crumbling rebel regime with ai-i most as many headaches as the . central government.

They take orders only from their own leaders and caused the makeshift rebel military command severe disciplinary problems.

Advancing white mercenaries have found them drunk or drug- red on hemp. The mercenaries also granted the young ones a grudging respect. .

“They believed implicitly that! magic stuff about our bulletsl turning to water." said a South African sergeant. .

"They ran straight into our guns on many occasions. shout- in: mayi. mayi. mayi (Water. hater. waterl.”

“any of the Jeunesse are only eight or 10 years old. But they have proved to be among the most ruthless and sadistic kill- ers in a ruthless and sadistic t'i\‘ll war.

At Kindu, they amused them- selves hy inventing ways of kill- ing white hostages.

“Slit that one's stomach open

. cut that one's nose off and make him car it . . .“ shouted the youths, survivors reported.

A diplomatic report by a West- ern embassy in Leopoldville dC" tailed some atrocities by ‘ rebels in general and the Jeu-, ncssn in particular.

“Many atrocity stories are re ported from Stanleyville includ- ing the barbaric public execu- tion of the former mayor. Ma- tahu. during which his abdomen 3 , “as cut open, liver and kidneys' men 8 pulled out and eaten by a rebel(

arranged by local rebel author- 3

flies. usually military. and were '

directed against employees of the national and local adminis- tration including minor clerks. male nurses and teachers. The .leunesse kill largely from a misguided vengeance. ' "The wanton murder at Kindu l lot the family of Congolese army l (‘oi. Benesetti and the cold- lhlooded killing of the five Eu- ropean hostages at Boende..be-1 side the calculated butcheryi performed on the former mayor . or Stanleyviiie." were given as examples of such murders in‘ diplomatic reports.

Congolese officials fear the Jeunesse will continue to be a problem even when the rebel- lion is largely crushed. ~

"The problem of the insurrec- i tjon is political and military: the Jeunesse are a problem for l lnyone who is in power," said one officials. —_.___.
