"Stanfeyville is under control, but.all resistance has not been eliminated,"' said an American embassy spokesman. "The city is virtually de- serted. The Congolese have fled to the bush. But snipers are still active and you can easily get a bullet through your head." Most of the Congolese popu- lation had gone into the sur- rounding bush "'until things quiet down."
