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.

The organized killings were ' 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. —_.___. men’s billfolds Canadian made in ganune leather.
