Zaire - Congo: Commemorative medal of the
Operation Shaba with French silver palms
(by the French Foreign Legion which was
involved in the conflict).
The Operation Shaba was a conflict in Zaire's
Shaba (Katanga) Province which lasted from
March 8, 1977 to May 26, 1977.
The conflict began when the Front for the
National Liberation of Congo (FNLC), a group
of about 2,000 Katangan Congolese
insurgents crossed the border into Shaba
from Angola.
The combined counter attack of the Armed
Forces of Zaire, France, Morocco, Egypt, and
Belgium finally drove the rebels out of Zaire.
