An anti-government Bakongo rebel, active in Pool Department, Republic of the Congo (Congo-Brazzaville).
To punish a population seen as Ninja sympathisers, the government last year effectively sealed off the entire region and barred all aid, turning Pool into a blank space on the humanitarian map.
While the last major clashes were in 2003 in Pool — a southern region between the capital Brazzaville and the port city of Pointe Noire — Ninjas had continued to roam the region, robbing civilians and hijacking trains to the oil-rich coast.
The Ninjas were loyal to former Prime Minister Bernard Kolelas, the father of Guy-Brice Parfait Kolelas, who stood in the presidential election in March and got 15% of the vote.
