Neither do I. But there are a couple of signs:

a) as my 16 year old Martin told me a couple of nights before, when it was
known that by the moment the French and Belgian consulates were spreading
notice of Kabila's death, Kabila was still on a plane and alive, "well, these
Belgians and Frenchmen have exposed themselves, haven't they" (in fact, what he
said was "cómo se quemaron estos belgas y franceses", which is more expletive,
but don't know how to translate)

b) _Clarín_ of Buenos Aires pointed out, on an article not at all laudatory of
Kabila, that while he had made many of his Congolese friends happy, he had not
been able to arrive at good relations with foreign capitalists.

c) the troops now invading Congo are backed by pro-US regimes.

Whatever explanation one thinks of, must take these three facts into
consideration.
