Alors que l’on commémore le quarantième anniversaire de la bataille de Kolwezi, Jean Dusausoy nous livre ici un témoignage précieux, celui d’un homme, expatrié à Kolwezi dans les années 1970 pour travailler, en tant que technicien, dans les mines du Haut-Katanga.Dans ce livre, l’auteur nous plonge dans la vie quotidienne d’un Belge parti vivre au Zaïre. Il évoque le travail à la mine, la diffi culté d’être loin de ses proches, presque « coupé du monde », la douceur du climat et les paysages époustouflants ou encore les rencontres humaines et les relations avec les travailleurs.Puis, au fil du temps, la situation sécuritaire se dégrade et, en 1977, la première guerre du Shaba éclate. En mai 1978, le Front national de libération du Congo (FNLC) s’empare de Kolwezi. Après sept jours de bataille, l’agresseur sera repoussé par le 2e régiment étranger de parachutistes.2250 citoyens européens seront alors évacués vers la Belgique, mais on estime que le FNLC massacra 80 Européens et 200 Africains. Jean Dusausoy, lui, avait déjà quitté Kolwezi.

A history of the 1960s unrecognized state’s army and their role in Central Africa’s political and military conflicts. Erik Kennes and Miles Larmer provide a history of the Katangese gendarmes and their largely undocumented role in many of the most important political and military conflicts in Central Africa. Katanga, located in today’s Democratic Republic of Congo, seceded in 1960 as Congo achieved independence, and the gendarmes fought as the unrecognized state’s army during the Congo crisis. Kennes and Larmer explain how the ex-gendarmes, then exiled in Angola, struggled to maintain their national identity and return “home.” They take readers through the complex history of the Katangese and their engagement in regional conflicts and Africa’s Cold War. Kennes and Larmer show how the paths not taken at Africa’s independence persist in contemporary political and military movements and bring new understandings to the challenges that personal and collective identities pose to the relationship between African nation-states and their citizens and subjects. “A fascinating story which is tied to the colonial development of Katanga province, cold war politics in Central Africa, the crisis of the postcolonial state in the Congo, and the interregional politics in the Great Lakes area.” —Georges Nzongola-Ntalaja, University of North Carolina “A major contribution to our understanding of postcolonial politics in Africa more broadly and sheds light on the survival of militias over time and forms of subnationalism emerging from regional consciousness.” —M. Crawford Young, University of Wisconsin, Madison

This book provides a timely and comprehensive analysis of how three European powers have retained or mutated their levers of influence in their former African colonies since the latter gained independence in the 1960's. Thirty years of complex political and military relationships involving France, Britain, and Belgium and their former colonies are examined in this thought-provoking study, the lessons of which are increasingly relevant to the understanding of Euro-African affairs.

We all know that healthy partnerships are essential to fruitful boundary-crossing ministries, but how exactly do we create them? What barriers must be overcome, and what self-examination must we do? How do the legacies of colonialism, racism, and unhealed trauma impact missional collaborations today? In this doctoral thesis, Denyer reflects on these questions as she examines the history of relational dynamics between American and Congolese United Methodists in the North Katanga Conference (DR Congo). By surveying memoirs, magazines, and journals, and conducting in-depth interviews, Denyer presents a complex and multifaceted example of a partnership that is in the process of decolonizing. More than just a history lesson, Decolonizing Mission Partnerships presents the questions, hard truths, pitfalls, and toxic assumptions we must face when attempting to be in mission together.
