Henry Morton Stanley war Journalist und Afrikaforscher und wurde berühmt, indem er den verschollenen Missionar David Livingstone in Afrika aufspürte. Die Geschichte, die er jedoch selbst über diese Rettungsaktion verbreitete, und seine Rolle darin, kamen beim Publikum nicht so gut an.

Suchitra Vijayan speaks with Abdullahi Boru Halakhe in a conversation that traces the longue durée of exploitation and violence in the Congo from the colonial atrocities of King Leopold II to the resource wars that continue to devastate the region today. They unpack how the technologies of extraction and the politics of dispossession remain intertwined, shaping a global system in which Congolese land, labour, and life continue to underwrite the comforts of the Global North. Abdullahi situates Congo's crisis within the history of empire and its afterlives. He revisits the 19th-century “civilising mission” of Henry Morton Stanley and Leopold's personal ownership of the Congo Free State, connecting it to today's extraction of coltan, cobalt, and gold that powers Silicon Valley. From the uranium that fuelled the Manhattan Project to the minerals driving AI and green tech, he argues that the Congolese people have been made to pay for the world's progress with their blood and labour. The conversation then turns to Rwanda's complicity in the ongoing violence. Abdullahi unpacks how the legacies of the 1994 genocide, and the First and Second Congo Wars that followed, continue to shape Rwanda's sub-imperial role in the region. He details how Rwanda and Uganda act as conduits for resource extraction, exporting minerals that geologically do not exist within their borders, and how the profits of this trade flow through the Gulf states to Western markets. In this network, Congo becomes the epicentre of a global pipeline linking African sub-imperial powers, Gulf petrostates, and Western tech conglomerates: a chain of exploitation that transforms human suffering into industrial capital. The discussion broadens into an examination of how the same extractive and militarised logics underpin genocides and wars across the Global South from Congo to Sudan to Palestine. Abdullahi identifies the United Arab Emirates as a central malign actor, financing wars and shaping political economies of violence under the guise of development and modernity. What emerges is a picture of a world where the technologies of genocide — surveillance, securitisation, and resource militarisation — are integral to the global order. The episode closes with a meditation on history as resistance. For Abdullahi, liberation begins with reclaiming historical knowledge and refusing amnesia. From the Bandung Conference to the dreams of pan-African solidarity, he insists that history offers both warning and possibility: a reminder that despair is political, but so is hope. As Suchitra notes, this conversation marks a rare moment in the Technologies of Genocide series — one where history itself becomes a site of liberation, and knowledge a tool against the algorithmic erasure of human struggle. — Abdullahi Boru Halakhe is the Senior Advocate for East and Southern Africa at Refugees International. He is an African policy expert with over a decade of experience in security, conflict, human rights, refugee work, and strategic communications. He has advised organisations including the International Rescue Committee, International Crisis Group, Amnesty International, BBC, the EU, AU, USAID, and the UNDP.

“A secret society of murderers with a king for a ringleader”. In 1885 King Leopold of Belgium; an awkward, ruthless, selfish man, was recognised as the sovereign of the Congo. Long determined to carve out his very own private colonial domain, he had alighted upon the Congo - Africa's vast and unplundered interior. With the help of the explorer Henry Morton Stanley, who had found a way to circumnavigate the Congo's formerly insurmountable rapids, he concocted a cunning scheme to legally make it his own, while casting himself as a civilising saviour. Yet, despite his ostensibly philanthropic motivations, Leopold's goal was always profit. More specifically, ivory, and later rubber, and before long a thriving hub of industry had been established in the Congo, bustling with soldiers, traders and missionaries. Meanwhile and most significantly, tens of thousands of Congolese people were being beaten, coerced and essentially enslaved into harvesting and carrying the riches of their land for their European oppressors. Their treatment was barbaric, the conditions in which they were made to live grotesque, and their suffering unimaginable. It was there, in King Leopold's Congo, that for years some of the worst violations of human life in all of human history were perpetrated. A terrible, secret heart of darkness, Until, at last, a young shipping clerk in Antwerp stumbled across something that would change the course of history forever... Join Dominic and Tom as they discuss Western history's most brutal and barbaric colonial conquest: King Leopold's exploitation of the Congo Free State and her people. _______ Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Assistant Producer: Tabby Syrett + Aaliyah Akude Editor: Jack Meek Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor Learn more about your ad choices.

The story of King Leopold of Belgium's brutal regime in the Congo Free State, during the late 19th century, is one of the darkest and most important in global history. It is a story of horror - the murky depths of the human soul pushed to its primal limits, European colonialism and the first Scramble for Africa, royalty and politics, celebrity, and modernity. From that pit of depravity, in which the Congolese people endured unimaginable suffering at the hands of their dehumanising western drivers, the first human rights campaign was born, and one of the most seminal novels of all time. So, how was it that the Congo, Africa's as yet unplundered, un-impenetrable, and deeply mysterious core in the late 1870's, became the private financial reservoir of one ambitious monarch, while Europe looked on? What occurred during the reign of terror he unleashed there, and why? And, who was King Leopold himself, the troubled, cunning and utterly twisted individual behind it all? Join Dominic and Tom as they lead us - following in the footsteps of Henry Morton Stanley, the explorer who first pierced the shadowy veil of the Congo in Africa's interior, and let it bleed into the hands of King Leopold himself - deep into the heart of darkness. As the curtain is lifted from the Congo's formerly obscuring unknowability, her people's grotesque future of abominable exploitation is revealed, along with man's capacity for evil, and the demonic greed of one man in particular… EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/restishistory Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee! _______ Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Assistant Producer: Tabby Syrett + Aaliyah Akude Editor: Vasco Andrade Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor Learn more about your ad choices.

Henry Morton Stanley, the New York-born journalist who was actually born in Wales, ‘finds' Livingstone, although everyone knows he's not lost. Stanley's employer Gordon Bennett Jr of the daily New York Herald has spotted a fantastic money-making enterprise, pedalling fictitious stories of the romantic failures of the British explorer, Dr Livingstone. It was time for the Americans to take over the exploration of Africa. The British had bogged themselves down with ‘too many theodolites, barometers, sextants'. Stanley and other ‘energetic… reckless Americans' would ‘command … an expedition more numerous and better appointed than any that has ever entered Africa' and infinitely more ruthless.

Exploration changed in the middle of the nineteenth century, when Henry Morton Stanley met Dr David Livingstone. We discover that Livingstone isn't remembered for anything he achieved. A missionary and medical doctor from a poor Scottish background – and an indestructible traveller - he learned to make accurate geographical calculations and used them to map a small part of Africa. Amazingly he did most of his successful exploration with an African team and backed by African funds. So why did he become an international sensation?

Hello, dear listeners! We are joined again by friend of the show and always a delight, Tom Goss, to talk about famed adventurer and somewhat controversial figure, Sir Henry Morton Stanley. Turns out, he was great at helping to explore and map out big chunks in Africa. And also at helping the various European countries with their colonization efforts. Oops. Modern people don't exactly look on that with positive thoughts. Still a dope story with some memorable quotes. Enjoy!

Recorrer el río Congo es navegar por el pasado, presente y futuro del continente africano, pero también una forma de entender los vínculos que tiene fuera de sus fronteras. El periodista Xavier Aldekoa relata en 'Quijote en el Congo' (Península) su recorrido a lo largo del río más profundo del mundo. En él también narra las vidas, creencias y sueños que le compartieron aquellas personas con las que se cruzó en una ruta cimentada en el imaginario colectivo gracias a textos como los de Jospeh Conrad, Henry Morton Stanley o David Livingstone.

Henry Morton Stanley war Journalist und Afrikaforscher und wurde berühmt, indem er den verschollenen Missionar David Livingstone in Afrika aufspürte.

Henry Morton Stanley, the New York-born journalist who was actually born in Wales, ‘finds' Livingstone, although everyone knows he's not lost. Stanley's employer Gordon Bennett Jr of the daily New York Herald has spotted a fantastic money-making enterprise, pedalling fictitious stories of the romantic failures of the British explorer, Dr Livingstone. It was time for the Americans to take over the exploration of Africa. The British had bogged themselves down with ‘too many theodolites, barometers, sextants'. Stanley and other ‘energetic… reckless Americans' would ‘command … an expedition more numerous and better appointed than any that has ever entered Africa' and infinitely more ruthless.

Exploration changed in the middle of the nineteenth century, when Henry Morton Stanley met Dr David Livingstone. We discover that Livingstone isn't remembered for anything he achieved. A missionary and medical doctor from a poor Scottish background – and an indestructible traveller - he learned to make accurate geographical calculations and used them to map a small part of Africa. Amazingly he did most of his successful exploration with an African team and backed by African funds. So why did he become an international sensation?

Gli esploratori, nel XIX secolo, sono delle vere e proprie star internazionali. E tutto il mondo trepida per la sorte di David Livingstone, dato per disperso in Africa da tre anni. Lo ritrova, in un incontro che passerà alla storia, Henry Morton Stanley, che acquista in tal modo fama planetaria, al punto da essere assunto di lì a poco da re Leopoldo II del Belgio perché esplori il cuore del “continente nero” e gli procuri una colonia personale: cosa che Stanley fa, senza tanti scrupoli, raggirando centinaia di capi locali che induce a firmare contratti di concessione secolare delle proprie terre al monarca belga e alle compagnie nazionali bianche. Lo sfruttamento delle risorse naturali (soprattutto il caucciù) che ne consegue è estremo e le vessazioni sulle popolazioni locali disumane. Quando le notizie al proposito cominciano a circolare, grazie anche alla satira di Mark Twain, i danni sono ormai fatti, ma l'opinione pubblica mondiale ne è scioccata.

The okapi became known to European explorers in the late 19th century, and then several explorers tried and failed to even see a live okapi. Sir Harry Hamilton Johnston often gets credit for its discovery, but there's much more to the story than that.  Research: “Obituary: Dr. Wilhelm Junker.” Journal of the American Geographical Society of New York, vol. 24, 1892, pp. 148–50, http://www.jstor.org/stable/196694.

It is Tuesday morning, 7th December 2021, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.”Galatians 5:22-23If ever we needed to display the fruit of the Spirit, it is now in this season of Christmas. People are stressed out, people are tired and weary. As followers of Jesus Christ, we need to display the fruits of the Spirit.Henry Morton Stanley, a newspaper reporter for the New York Herald, was sent out to Africa to find the man of God, Dr David Livingstone who was missing. It was like trying to find a needle in a haystack but he did eventually find Livingstone. Livingstone's son, Oswald, tried to find his father but he couldn't and they gave up on him but this man who wasn't even a Christian, found Dr David Livingstone in the middle of Africa.He stayed with him for four months and four days and not once did he hear a complaint or an ugly word come out of Livingstone's mouth. He had plenty cause too because people had really disappointed him and left him. Stanley was not a Christian, he was a newspaper reporter - he wasn't interested in Christianity. He wanted to find a scoop, a story, that he could send back to his newspaper. Yet when parting with Dr Livingstone, Stanley was very emotional and he said he didn't want to leave him. He begged him to come back. Livingstone said: “I can't. I have got to fulfil my purpose”, that God had called him to. He said to Stanley, “You have brought me new life.” He kept on saying that.Folks, I want to say to you today that we need to display the fruits of the Spirit. It is not about Bible punching people, it is not about rebuking people and its not about judging people. It is about loving people and displaying that fruit: Love and joy, peace, long-suffering and kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.Did you know that Dr David Livingstone, in Central Africa, is known as the good man? He didn't lead thousands of people to Christ. He only led one man to Christ and yet he is the most famous missionary, maybe in the whole world, but definitely on the Continent of Africa. Why? Because he displayed the fruit of the Spirit.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.

The December issue of Scottish Field will be appearing in shops any day now, and this week we preview one of the features in it. We look at Dr David Livingstone, the famous Scots explorer. This month marks 150 years since four of the most famous words ever uttered between two people are reputed to have been said - 'Dr Livingstone, I presume?' It was on November 10, 1871, when Scots explorer Livingstone, who had been missing in the deepest depths of Africa for six years, met New York Herald journalist Henry Morton Stanley who, according to legend, greeted the Scotsman with the now legendary phrase. You can read this feature, and much more, in the latest Scottish Field, priced £4.75.

This week: Nick and Michael, ex-servicemen both, discuss the attraction of army life and share their perspective on how the exit from Afghanistan was handled; Megan and Gwyneth, both residents of Denbigh, exchange opposing views on what the town statue of the explorer Henry Morton Stanley represents; and Sacha and Yasmin explain why mermaid culture, folklore and symbolism resonates with them. The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the UK volunteer to have a conversation. The conversations are being gathered across the UK by teams of producers from local and national radio stations who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation lasts up to an hour and is then edited to extract the key moments of connection between the participants. Most of the unedited conversations are being archived by the British Library and used to build up a collection of voices capturing a unique portrait of the UK in this decade of the millennium.

In the early 1870's the peoples of the Eastern Congo lived in a land dominated by the Arab-Swahili traders.  In search of Ivory these traders had traveled hundreds of miles inland from the Indian Ocean.  These traders settled in and established settlements where they loved in great comfort.  This was in great contrast to the subdued peoples who had inhabited these lands for hundreds of years.   But the curiosity of the American and European public was focused on this region. In 1873 The Daily Telegraph of London and the New York Herald sponsored the Victorian explorer, Henry Morton Stanley, to travel to East Africa to find the legendary source of the River Nile.  This voyage of explorations sent shockwaves through time to the present day ...

ADVARSEL: Episoden indeholder voldsomme beskrivelser af vold og kannibalisme, der kan virke ubehagelige især for børn.November 1871 ved Ujiji - tæt ved Tanganyika søen i Afrika. Den tidligere soldat, journalist, forfatter og senere politiker, Henry Morton Stanley, har i mere end et år ledt efter den forsvundne skotske missionær og eventyrer, Dr. Livingstone, som er sporløst forsvundet i sin jagt på Nilens udspring. Og nu mødes de. Men hvad svarer Livingstone på det berømte spørgsmål? Stanley blev berømt i sin samtid og omtales fortsat af mange, som en af de helt store opdagelsesrejsende i det 19. århundrede. Hvad drev ham til det allermørkeste Afrika? Vært: Bjørn Harvig, eventyrer.Medvirkende: Jesper Kurt-Nielsen, historiker, forfatter og museumsinspektør på Nationalmuseet.Producent: Juhl & Brunse for 24syv og Vores Tid.

Before the famed journalist and explorer Henry Morton Stanley journeyed into Africa to find Dr. David Livingstone, he fought at the Battle of Shiloh as a private in the 6th Arkansas Infantry, CSA. Taken prisoner there, he became a "Galvanized Yankee," serving in the Union army and navy. He recorded his war experiences in a chapter of his Autobiography, which was prepared before his death in 1904, and then published by his wife in 1909. This program traces a trek across the Shiloh battlefield in the footsteps of Private Stanley as nearly as can be determined by available evidence, and uses his own words to illustrate his experience. The program aims to give people an appreciation of the terror of combat as viewed by the common soldier, and will help them better understand the context in which Stanley's experiences occurred. Bjorn Skaptason holds a M.A. in history from Loyola University Chicago. He worked as a seasonal ranger at the National Park Service's Shiloh National Military Park and Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center for two summers while studying at Loyola. He still returns to Shiloh yearly on the anniversary of the battle to help lead special interpretive hikes of the battlefield. He has previously published essays on Ambrose Bierce at Shiloh, on the United States Colored Troops in the campaign and battle of Brice's Crossroads for the West Tennessee Historical Society Papers, and in the Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society on The Chicago Light Artillery. A dealer in antiquarian books, Bjorn produces and guest hosts "A House Divided" on the Author's Voice network, a Civil War book discussion program live streamed from Abraham Lincoln Book Shop in Chicago.

Hello, and welcome to This Day in History. Here's what happened on November 10th. “Dr. Livingstone, I presume?” Those were the famous words uttered by New York journalist Henry Morton Stanley on this day in 1871 upon finding Socttish explorer David Livingstone in Ujiji, in present day Tanzania, after a nearly 8 month long search.

Season 3, Episode 53 "Professor CJ" of the Dangerous History Podcast joins Chris Calton to tell the story of Shiloh from the perspective of two soldiers, from their own personal memoirs of the battle. One story follows the experiences of Henry Morton Stanley, a twenty-one-year-old Confederate. The other story involves the sixteen-year-old John Cockerill, a Union drummer boy. These two eloquently written memoirs illustrate the true history of the Civil War better than any account of officer deaths or battlefield tactics. Chris Calton recounts the controversial history of the Civil War. You may support this podcast financially at Mises.org/SupportHC.
