Lissouba s Finance Minister Moungounga Nguila, and his one-time prime minister Bernard Kolelas, were also absent. It should be noted that Kolelas tried to return to Brazzaville but the Congolese authorities were having none of it. Even the international mediator didn t want to take the responsibility of seeing Kolelas in Brazzaville. He was sentenced to death. Lissouba had been sentenced to twenty years in jail, having been found guilty, together with his Finance Minister, of plotting to murder the Head of State, Sassou-Nguesso.
Nobody really knows.
One thing is certain, the Congolese people are tired of useless wars.
