'' The second focus of LD Kabila was national reconstruction.The aim was to rebuild the country's economic fabric destroyed by the predatory management Mobutu regime.This reconstruction was inspired by the principles of self-sufficiency and self-management to bring the Congolese people to create his own wealth, on the one hand and on the other hand, south-south cooperation.To achieve this the government of the AFDL, led by M'zee LD Kabila, had set up a three-year plan that had followed the failure of the Friends of the Congo conference in Brussels Within the framework of realization this plan Lobho lwa Djugudjugu notes that "until before the Ugandan-Rwandan-Burundian aggression, there must be noted the socio-economic stabilization of the currency, the exchange rate, prices of manufactured products, food and fuel;the rehabilitation of some roads in the capital and inside the country;reform by circulating the Franc Congolais thus allowing standardize many currency areas;stability taxi transport prices, taxi-bus, Fula Fula-, kimalu-malu ... "But these few performances proved ephemeral.The outbreak of the war and economic measures that have followed have resulted in the disruption of economic activities.President Kabila undertook some actions to consolidate its qualified economic policy of "social market economy" To achieve its food self-sufficiency policy, he established the National Service.This supervise the "builders" recruited from all corners of the republic and grouped in several farming centers, the most famous was the center of Kanyama Kasese in Katanga.Just like Kibbutz, collective farms and state farms, national service had received the mission to increase agricultural production to ensure food independence of the Democratic Republic of Congo.In short, get the country's reliance on imports of basic foodstuffs and the face of rising food prices of LD Kabila created the soup kitchens.The establishment of soup kitchens in Kinshasa responded to the need to eliminate intermediaries and other speculators are behind the soaring prices of basic foodstuffs.These canteens were scattered through the communes of most Congolese cities.They were supplied by the government and sold at a relatively low price food.Management difficulties have led to the bankruptcy of these soup kitchens After a rise in inflation in August 1998, the government began to try to regulate prices by laws.In the wake of these measures, LD Kabila strove unsuccessfully to the dollarization of the economy, by banning commercial transactions using US dollar He instituted a purchasing monopoly of precious materials, including gold and diamond.He also regained control of exports.It is in this context that it was prohibited to import such raw wood together, these measures greatly affectèrent the continuation of trade-related activities, further increasing a little the difficulties of the Congolese economy.To these difficulties, instead of adding the rupture of relations with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund As was to refuse to be another president of a comprador state, LD.Kabila had set up initially, a diplomacy that was actually a difficult relationship with the international community.He set the tone in his first trips abroad as President of the "Third Republic".Indeed, instead of going to be "blessed" in the West as do all African presidents when they come to power, Kabila had made his first trip to China and went through Libya on their way back.He tied privileged relations with Cuba, Libya, North Korea, etc.skilled axis of evil countries by Western powers.He maintained his Sudanese counterpart Omar El Bashir President and condemned the bombing of the pharmaceutical factory in Khartoum Al Shiphar by US aircraft.In the quest for independence vis-à-vis the major powers, LD Kabila had boycotted the Francophonie summit which was held in Hanoi, Vietnam.But later, LD Kabila was employed (through the mediation of the Gabonese President Omar Bongo) to normalize relations with France which he expected the support face of aggression which the Congo was the victim.It is for this reason that he personally participated in the France-Africa summit held in Paris in 2000.
