I grew up in Congo. One of my childhood friends' heroes was Mike Hoare. Mike Hoare rescued a compound of foreigners near Kisangani, when Lumumba supporters opened fire on unarmed children and women. They rescued them and their servants etc. My friend was one of the rescued ones. My older brother had a friend who was shot (age 10) and his brother maimed by the brave Lumumba soldiers who machine gunned the kids grouped in a room.
