#KITONA OPERATION

The Rwandans conceived a bold plan: As the offensive in the east of DRCongo developed, on 3rd August 1998, under the personal command of Colonel James Kabarebe (in May 2015, he was General and Rwandan Minister of Defense), Rwanda airlifted troops 1,500 km... across DRCongo from Goma to Kitona airbase, located 320 km West of Kinshasa.
The Kitona operation featured a long range aerial insertion of ground troops behind enemy lines, with the aim of achieving a quick knockout victory.
