Mamadou Ndala, center, rests on his coffin during a funeral held for him and other Congo soldiers in the city of Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, In a place where death is never far away, the colonel seemed larger than life, invincible. He stood at well over 6 feet, a good head or two taller than the crowds that thronged around him, waving palms and chanting his name. His soldiers claimed he had survived being shot at a dozen times in the jungles of eastern Congo. (AP Photo/John Bompengo)
