... that André Kisase Ngandu waged rebellions in the Congo, received military training in East Germany, Libya, and Uganda, earned a medical degree in West Germany, and was eventually murdered by Rwandans? (Source for rebellions in the Congo: Zaïre: Mobutu, cible des rebelles. A Goma, le commandant Kisase réfute le caractère ethnique de la rébellion; source for training in East Germany and medical degree in West Germany: Luntumbue, Michel (2020), p. 95; source for training in Libya: Reyntjens, Filip (2009), p. 104; source for training in Uganda: Verhoeven, Harry; Roessler, Philip (2016), p. 169; his murder by Rwandans is discussed by several references throughout the article)
- ALT1:... that Congolese rebel leader André Kisase Ngandu criticised his Rwandan allies to such an extent that they probably murdered him? Source: Kisase Ngandu's murder and its reasons are discussed to a considerable extent in the article, with several references provided; Verhoeven, Harry; Roessler, Philip (2016), p. 216, specifically say that the "most authoritative accounts" claim that Kisase Ngandu was killed by his Rwandan allies.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: ALT0 is not approved because it says that the Rwandans definitely killed Ngandu—ALT1 is fine, but it should probably say "might have been", as well as in the article—depends on consensus of sourcing, I guess. QPQ needed. nice work! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 01:48, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

- @Theleekycauldron: Added QPQ. All academic sources I have seen so far concur that the Rwandans killed him, but all also say that the murder was never solved, so the consensus seems to be "most probably killed by Rwandans". However, you are right that it should not just be stated like an undisputed fact. Thus I offer an alternate of ALT0 below. Applodion (talk) 09:32, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

ALTs 0a and 1 good to go, although I prefer ALT1 due to its snappiness and hookiness. nice work! :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 09:41, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
