Lucien Bahuma Biography

Lucien Bahuma is one of the most popular and richest Military Officer who was born on June 26, 1957 in Yangambi, Tshopo District, Congo.

Major General Jean-Lucien Bahuma Ambamba (1957–2014), known as Lucien Bahuma, was a Congolese army officer. Bahuma, described as an “exceptional soldier” by Le Potentiel and one of the Congo’s “most popular and reform-minded officers” by The Economist, commanded the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (FARDC) in the provinces of North and South Kivu during the M23 rebellion and Allied Democratic Forces insurgency.

Bahuma was appointed to the command of the 8th Military Region, covering Kivu, by President Joseph Kabila following the fall of Goma to M23 rebels in 2012. The fall of Goma in November 2012 was widely perceived as an embarrassment for the FARDC and the United Nations’ MONUSCO peacekeeping force and led to calls for reform. Morale among government forces in the region was low. After taking command, Bahuma reformed the FARDC in the region, cutting down on corruption. He was personally credited for much of the FARDC’s subsequent success against M23 in the Kivu region by international observers. He gained a reputation as a reformist, alongside Lieutenant General François Olenga and Colonel Mamadou Ndala [fr] , and attempted to turn the FARDC into a professional military force.
