Ntombe. Patrice Aumond St Pierre Ntombe. Much of what I now know derives from a variety of sources: personal experience during part of his two-and-hal...-year ‘reign’, Foreign Office briefings which tend to be mostly but not totally accurate, and press reports which tend to be mostly but not totally inaccurate.
