Gentil, a fourteen year old soldier, claims he was abducted from school by Kabila's troops and sent to the frontline to fight for the government. Two months ago, Gentil was captured by rebels and he''s now taken up their cause. At Bunya, headquarters of the RCD/ML rebels, Ugandan instructors train young rebels like Gentil. Uganda and Rwanda support three rebel groups who now control half the country. Jean-Paul Bemba heads the MLC, the Movement for the Liberation of Congo. He's one of Congo's richest men and has vast business interests in Europe and has his HQ alongside one of Mobutu's extravagant palaces. Some accuse Bemba of being a front for business interests in the region. Bemba denies it; "I'm not a puppet. Congo deserves a leader chosen by the people. Mobutu was the puppet". With 20,000 troops and a sophisticated and representative style of leadership, Bemba is Congo's most popular rebel.
