  • Archaeology and Ethnography Along the Loango Coast in the South West of the Republic of Congo
    In 2011 and 2012, Dr Gerry Wait (then Nexus Heritage) and Dr Ibrahima Thiaw (Institute Fundamental d’Afrique Noire: IFAN, Dakar) undertook an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) project in Kouilou Department in the southwest region of the Republic of the Congo. The initiative had been commissioned by SRK Consulting UK for Elemental Minerals Ltd relating to a proposed a potash mine. These landscapes were little known in terms of the sites and monuments from the distant and more recent past. That the area was important in the understanding of migrations along the African coast had been demonstrated in a pioneering set Thiaw Wait and Archaeology and Ethnography of excavations by Denbow (2012 and 2014). This base line study was undertaken to identify and evaluate cultural resources which might need further investigation. The second part of the study reports on ethnographic surveys undertaken in the same defined area, treating intangible cultural heritage as equally as important parts of the Along the Loango Coast Congo’s cultural heritage and identity. The baseline studies were systematic in that they employed standard best-practice survey techniques but structured on a landscape level. By building upon Denbow’s extensive surveys and small-scale investigations fom 30 years earlier the studies have enabled a richer and more nuanced in the South West of understanding of the Atlantic Coast of Congo during the past millennium. Coast Along the Loango Archaeology and Ethnography the Republic of Congo Gerry Wait has over 35 years of experience as an archaeologist and anthropologist specialising in heritage assessments for Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs).

  • Asurvey of SNAKES in the PATTE D'oie FOREST RESERVE
    Herpetological Conservation and Biology 15(1):139–149. Submitted: 19 May 2018; Accepted: 19 December 2019: Published: 30 April 2020.

We collected 96 specimens representing 17 species from 16 genera, nine subfamilies, and six families. Of these, the Spotted Night Adder, Causus maculatus (Viperidae), the Brown House Snake, Boaedon perisilvestris (Lamprophiidae), and the Stripe-backed Bush Snake, Philothamnus dorsalis (Colubridae), were the most abundant species. We found snakes primarily in terrestrial microhabitats (90%) but also in arboreal (7%) and aquatic (3%) ones. Comparison of the snake fauna of the POFR with other sites in Congo where surveys occurred indicates the snake fauna of POFR is most similar to the fauna from degraded habitat near the City of Pointe-Noire. We report here the first record of the Flower Pot Snake, Indotyphlops braminus, from Congo, though its presence is not surprising, and the first records from Brazzaville for the African Banded Snake, Chamaelycus fasciatus, and Dumeril’s Blind Snake, Letheobia caeca.

  • Republiquecongo Sitrep 120220
    Republic of Congo: Pool Department Situation Report No. 03 (as of 08 February 2018) Situation Overview The humanitarian situation in the Pool Department of the Republic of Congo took a positive turn at the end of 2017 when a cease-fire agreement was reached between the parties to the conflict. The population in four of the eight districts of the Pool affected by the conflict remain inaccessible but there have been no reports of fighting since late 2017. The road from Brazzaville to Kinkala, deserted until early January 2018, is now showing signs of life as families return to check their homes, start to clear their land and consider return. Conditions for return for the majority of the displaced and population living in enclaved areas remain challenging, however. The key concern remains security as people wait for a clear green light from the authorities that it is safe to go home or to establish basic services or access to the fields. Meanwhile, the resources needed by IDPs and other affected populations to effectively re-establish themselves after almost two years of absence are considerable. Reports indicate that most houses have been damaged or destroyed, and the contents looted. Fields abandoned for two planting seasons are now overgrown. Health centres and schools have also been damaged and staff have fled along with the local population and local authorities. Everything needs to be re-built and all concerned will require tools, materials and continuing assistance until they are able to get their lives back on track. Highlights • The humanitarian needs of populations remaining in inaccessible areas are still unknown, but the Government and the UN system are preparing to conduct an evaluation of humanitarian needs in these four districts as soon as security conditions permit.
