Mamadou Mustafa Ndala (December 8, 1978 - January 2, 2014) was a colonel in the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
He was the commander of the 42nd Battalion Commando Units Rapid Reaction FARDC, which was formed by Belgium, Angola, United States and China.[1] He rose to fame with resounding victories over fighters from the March 23 Movement, a movement that was rampant in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
He died charred in his jeep with two of his bodyguards on January 2, 2014, following an ambush, according to the Congolese government, by the Ugandan rebels of ADF-Nalu 10 kilometers from Beni, in North Kivu. Two Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo Colonels were found guilty of hiring Ugandan-backed rebels to carry out the assassination for $20,000. He was married and the father of three children.[2] He was buried in Kokolo Camp in Kinshasa and appointed brigadier general posthumously.
