Life In Goma

The BBC's Jane Standley reports from Goma, Zaire, on how that city has changed since Zairean rebels took it over last fall. Goma once was home to hundreds of thousands of Rwandan refugees. Today it is the de facto capital of rebel-held Zaire. People in the town generally welcome the rebels' presence. They are seen as less oppressive and corrupt than the Zairean government and its army.
