B. Brodey and Todd Ramón Ochoa) This dissertation is a critical analysis and annotated translation, from Spanish into English, of the book Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe, by the Cuban anthropologist, artist, and writer Lydia Cabrera (1899-1991). Cabrera’s text is a hybrid ethnographic book of religion, slave narratives (oral history), and folklore (songs, poetry) that she devoted to a group of Afro-Cubans known as “los Congos de Cuba,” descendants of the Africans who were brought to the Caribbean island of Cuba during the trans-Atlantic Ocean African slave trade from the former Kongo Kingdom, which occupied the present-day southwestern part of Congo-Kinshasa, Congo-Brazzaville, Cabinda, and northern Angola. The Kongo Kingdom had formal contact with Christianity through the Kingdom of Portugal as early as the 1490s.

  • Africa's Leaky Giant
    joe trapido AFRICA’S LEAKY GIANT ccording to the un’s Human Development Index, the Democratic Republic of Congo is just about the world’s worst place to live.* Bad things in Niger, and some very marginal improvements in the drc itself, have recently moved it up Afrom the bottom spot it occupied in 2011, but you get the picture. Not incidental to this dismal ranking was a seven- or eight-year international war in which, according to the Lancet, nearly four million people died.1 There are reservations to be entered about both of these results: the kind of complex comparisons included in indexes like the undp’s are capricious, with rankings changing according to the relative weight you assign to each of the proxy indicators—life expectancy, education, per capita gdp. The narrow range of the proxies included also conveys a rather stunted idea of what is, at times, the most delightful place. One can imagine that if the Human Development Index had given great pop music, a sense of irony, or antelope stew with sorrel and palm nuts their due, then Congo would have scored rather better. Likewise, it is hard to know what to make of mortality estimates in a region where there has been no census since 1984. Whatever the exact figure, only a small proportion of the deaths during the Second Congo War were caused by direct violence: the majority succumbed to collapses in food production, health systems and wider infrastructure. While exacerbated by war, these deteriorations can themselves be traced much further back in time, across three decades of economic regres- sion, in which Congolese gdp shrunk to less than a fifth of its former peak and industrial capitalism, however underdeveloped, ceased to be the dominant mode of production.2 This essay will examine the origins of the drc’s current malaise and, in the process, take issue with some of the arguments put forward in the burgeoning literature on the coun- try.

Received 4 September, 2014; Accepted 7 January, 2015 Konzo is a sudden spastic paraparesis that causes permanent paralysis of the legs and occurs mainly in children and young women. Konzo results from high cyanogen intake and malnutrition caused by a monotonous diet of bitter cassava. The known incidence of konzo in DRC up to 2009 is 3469 cases, but an estimate in 2002 was 100,000 cases. To help resolve this question a konzo survey was made in three health zones in Kwilu District, Bandundu Province, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and the nutrition of those with konzo recorded. Thirty villages (population 22793) in Kwilu District were surveyed for konzo cases, and food consumption scores and mid upper arm circumferences obtained. There were 172 konzo cases with village konzo prevalences of 0.1-17%. The mean konzo prevalence in Masimanimba and Kingandu health zones was much less than in Payikongila health zone, probably because of the higher rate of malnutrition in Payikongila.

  • Countries at the Crossroads 2012: Democratic Republic of Congo
    Countries at the Crossroads Countries at the Crossroads 2012: Democratic Republic of Congo Jason K. Stearns1 Introduction Recent years have seen a transformation of the Democratic Republic of the Congo from a dictatorship through two destructive wars into an embattled regime with authoritarian tendencies. Civil liberties have benefitted in some areas and suffered in others. While the country has profited from a slight expansion of democratic space in the past decade, with the first multiparty elections ever held in 2006, this positive trend was dramatically undercut by the deeply flawed 2011 polls, in which Joseph Kabila was re-elected for a second term despite massive irregularities. This most recent crisis took place against the backdrop of a history marred by mass violence. Following thirty-two years of authoritarian rule under Mobutu Sese Seko, the country succumbed to a regional war in 1996. Troops from Angola, Rwanda, and Uganda invaded the country—then called Zaire—to hunt down insurgents who had established rear bases there. After toppling Mobutu in 1997, these countries placed rebel leader Laurent Kabila in power. The new president soon fell out with his former Rwandan and Ugandan benefactors, sparking a second, bloodier and protracted war in which nine African countries deployed troops on Congolese territory in support of local militias and armed groups. A 2002 peace deal signed under South African auspices reunited the country and ushered in a transitional government that included all major Congolese belligerents except for Mai Mai militias. This new government drafted a new constitution, which was promulgated in 2006, and organized the first democratic elections since 1965.

  • Political Parties in the Re Public of the Congo
    1 Daniel P. BIEBUYCK POLITICAL PARTIES IN THE REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO (LEOPOLDVILLE) Series of Sponsored Lectures Given at the University of Delaware in 1962 Introduction In the period between 1945 and 1955, when gradually a series of more or less timid steps towards social integration, removal of legislative racial discrimination, freedom of association, Congolese participation in the consultative councils, etc. were made, nobody seemed to think that emancipation in the Congo would ever follow a rapid pace. Numerous associations, with varied aims and functions, in the context of which new claimant leadership developed, sprang up everywhere, but political opinions and claims did not come into the open until 1956, when successively the “Conscience Africaine” manifesto (30 June) and the Counter Manifesto by Abako (23 August) were made public. Although in the Counter Manifesto the claim for immediate initiation of the emancipation process had been made, the rhythm of political growth apparently remained slow. In 1957, the colonial administration introduced a series of fundamental administrative and political reforms relating to the governmental, provincial, and territorial councils, and to the status of cities and native districts (“circonscriptions indigènes”). In December 1957, municipal elections were organized in the three major cities (Leopoldville, Elisabethville, Jadotville); they revealed, in general, the importance of tribally oriented movements, and in particular, the overwhelming influence and strength of the well- organized Abako party in Leopoldville (133 seats in 170). Organized political activity began in 1958. Several parties, such as M.N.C., Cerea, P.N.C. (to become M.P.N.C. in 1959), Upeco, were founded.

Collective Interventions After the Cold War: Reflections on the U.N. Mission to the Congo, 1960-64 John F. Clark, Florida International University In Lhe aftermath of the Cold War, the world's states may now be prepared the make greater use of collective military forces organized through the United Nations to resolve conflicts having both internal and international dimensions. Such a step would be in keeping with the liberal internationalism generally (if inconsistently) supported by the Western democracies in this century. Since the end of the Cold War, the UN member states have organized military operations through the UN to provide relief to civilian victims of civil strife in Bosnia­ Herzegovina and Somalia, as well as rebutting Iraq's aggression in Kuwait. Perhaps as meaningfully, the UN Security Council has imposed sanctions on the military regime in Haiti for its unconstitutional seizure of power despite (a) the apparent absence of an international threat to peace and security and (b) the clear control of the Haitian state apparatus by the Raoul Cedras government.

Received 10 April, 2014; Accepted 4 August, 2014 Banana bunchy top disease (BBTD) was first identified in DR Congo in 1958. Previously, the disease’s distribution throughout the Congo basin had not been studied, so an initial study, to determine the incidence and severity of BBTD in banana and plantain producing regions of Oriental province, was carried out during 2009 to 2010. Three hundred (300) farms were surveyed across 4 districts and 19 territories, with 30 mats assessed per farm. Visible disease symptoms were recorded and serological tests using triple antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (TAS-ELISA) were carried out on collected samples.

    The Immediate Before the Verb Focus Position in Nsong (Bantu B85d, DR Congo): A corpus-based exploration Joseph Koni Muluwa and Koen Bostoen Kwilu Bantu DoBeS Documentation Project Department of Languages and Cultures Ghent University 1 Introduction1 Nsong is a western Bantu language spoken in the neighbourhood of Kikwit (5°2'28"S 18°48'58"E, Kwilu District, Bandundu Province, DRC) and encoded as B85d in the New Updated Guthrie List (Maho 2009). To this B80 or Tiene- Yanzi group also belongs Mbuun, encoded as B87 by Guthrie (1971: 39) and spoken in the wider vicinity of Idiofa (4°57'35"S 19°35'40", Kwilu District, Bandundu Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo). Both languages are closely related. They share a high percentage of fundamental and other vocabulary as well as several rather atypical phonological innovations (Bostoen & Koni Muluwa 2014; Koni Muluwa 2014; Koni Muluwa & Bostoen 2012). Preliminary elicitation-based research on Mbuun has pointed out that the pre- verbal domain plays a crucial role in the marking of argument focus in Mbuun (Bostoen & Mundeke 2011, 2012). In this paper, we assess whether this is also the case in Nsong on the basis of a text corpus which the first author has been collecting, transcribing and annotating in 2013 and 2014 as part of an endangered language documentation project funded by the DoBeS program of the Volkswagen Foundation through a 3-year grant (2012-2015). More information on the project can be found on http://www.kwilubantu.ugent.be/. This Nsong text corpus exclusively consists of oral discourse and currently counts 48.022 tokens and 11.973 types.
