DoW: King’s Ransom

Zaire, 1997

The time of dictator Mobutu Sese Seko, who ruled the country as a sole ruler for three decades, is running out.
A few months have passed since the first movements of the AFDL troops in the eastern parts of the country - the border region against Rwanda and Burundi is now mostly under the control of the guerrillas and the pressure against the dictator of Zaire is increasing.
The operations of the Zairean Army (ZAF) to restore regional peace strained the tensions between the factions to the breaking point, until in October -96 the unrest escalated into direct military operations, spreading along the border, initially to the northern province of Kivu.
The most important city of the southern province, Kalemie, with its main railway, will soon be in the sights of the guerrillas. This chain of events is endangering the long-kept secret cooperation between Mobutu and the US intelligence service CIA, which helped him in power - Operation Cashier is under threat!

"Operation Cashier"

It is a fictitious operation based on a secret agreement between the CIA and the Zaire regime, which transfers funds - mainly gold, but also diamonds and other valuable minerals - out of Zaire through secret routes. Of course, part of it goes to the dictator's "pension fund", but a large part is allocated to the use of the CIA, to finance secret operations around the world. The center of the operation is the CIA safe house located near the town of Kalemi.
A surprise attack by AFDL guerillas at the beginning of 1997 in the direction of Kalemi forces the CIA to launch an emergency plan to empty the central warehouse.
King's Ransom describes the ensuing battles between the CIA's SAD group and the guerillas and freedom fighters operating in the area.
