Mai Mai group A; Some of the more better equipped Mai Mai factions. Military fatigues and sophisticated weaponry hints
that this Mai Mai faction collaborated with the Kabila regime or some of the foreign governments. Several of the more mainstream groups like the RCD factions and the UPC factions have military uniforms, most likely because of the rebel groups collaboration with foreign governments.
Mai Mai Group B; All photos below show the heavy tribal influences among the Mai Mai
factions. These fighters must be part of some of the more isolated
groups that have little western influences. Traditional clothing and weaponry with of the expectation of AKs show that they are very tribal and strongly believe in folk magic. This Mai Mai group most likely has not collaborated with any governments because they lack sophisticated equipment.
