F: Mm-hmm. <strong>The</strong> smoke stack <strong>of</strong><br />

Gécamines.<br />

T: It marks the one place where<br />

there was fighting during the<br />

entire Katanga war. [What I can<br />

tell you about it] would be a long<br />

story [but let me give just this<br />

one incident]: <strong>The</strong>re, way up [on<br />

the smoke stack], was one man who<br />

had been exploding. He had joined<br />

the Katangese army...<br />

F: Mm-hmm.<br />

T: ...although he was a Kabinda.<br />

F: He [was]?<br />

T: Eventually, when this attack <strong>of</strong><br />

rage came on him, he climbed to<br />

top <strong>of</strong> the smoke stack here and<br />

began to fire his Katangese<br />

mortar, aiming in every direction,<br />

right into the communities <strong>of</strong><br />

Kenia and Katuba. He was killing<br />

people. Finally, he was killed,<br />

too.<br />

F: Was he crazy?<br />

T: He was just -- I don't know,<br />

was it rancor or what?<br />

F: I see.<br />

T: <strong>The</strong> he too...<br />

F: Yes.<br />

T: Eventually he was killed, but<br />

not right away. <strong>The</strong>y caught him...<br />

F: Mm-hmm.<br />

T: ...tied his hands together and<br />

dragged him away behind a jeep.<br />

F: Mm-hmm.<br />

T: <strong>The</strong>y went really fast and, as<br />

he was on the ground, he was being<br />

torn up, his flesh was torn to<br />

pieces and he died.<br />

F: Who did this?<br />

T: <strong>The</strong> Katangese. He was a<br />

Katangese soldier himself, he had<br />

joined the Katangese army.<br />

F: I see.<br />

T: But eventually [he just<br />

couldn't take it anymore and]<br />

exploded.<br />

F: [chuckles, unbelieving]<br />

T: Mm-hmm.<br />

F: How did you know this? Did you<br />

see it or did they tell you [about<br />

it]?<br />

T: No, they told me about it.<br />

F: <strong>The</strong>y told you...<br />

T: <strong>The</strong>re was talk about this<br />

everywhere, even on Katanga radio<br />

went on about it.<br />

F: Is that true? And what are<br />

those planes there?<br />
