Katangese Tigers

The Katangese Tigers were Katangese fighters. Former soldiers of the State of Katanga, they fled to Angola in the 1960s. They formed the Congolese National Liberation Front in the 1970s and came back to the Democratic Republic of the Congo during the First Congo War.

This article is about the ex-gendarmes who fought in the Angolan Civil War and the First Congo War. For the original fighting force, see Katangese Gendarmerie.
