 The lack of cooperation between Kabila and Guevara contributed to the suppression of the revolt that same year.In Guevara's view, of all of the people he met during his campaign in Congo, only Kabila had "genuine qualities of a mass leader"; but Guevara castigated Kabila for a lack of "revolutionary seriousness".After the failure of the rebellion, Kabila turned to smuggling gold and timber on Lake Tanganyika.
