The French government is anxious to remove the 700 Foreign Legionnaires who freed Kolwezi and replace them with a peace-keeping force to be furnished by several African states. ... The expatriates have no confidence in the ability of the Zairian army to ward off another rebel attack and no faith in the proposed pan-African force to ward off the marauding Zaïrian army.
