“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.

Var han blevet til Doctor Deadstone eller var han stadig Livingstone et sted i Afrikas jungle?

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.

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.
Dimitri and Khalid continue discussing Otto Rahn's downfall, (now #metoo'd) cult filmmaker Richard Stanley's “The Secret Glory” documentary about Rahn, Stanley pledging himself to a White Lady spirit in Montsegur, traveling to Afghanistan in 1988 to search for ancient Aryan shapeshifters, dropping LSD in a war zone, joining CIA proxy force Hezb-e Islami as a bit, Stanley's African colonizer great-grandfather Henry Morton Stanley, his witchy Seutheefreken emigré mother, dabbling in Haitian Vodou, LaRouche's accusations against the synarchist Martinists, possible Lovecraft allusions in Rahn's writings, and whether we should care about finding the Graal.

Vier Jahre schon gilt der schottische Missionar David Livingstone als verschollen, als sich 1870 der Journalist und Abenteurer Henry Morton Stanley auf den Weg macht, um ihn irgendwo in Afrika zu finden. Tatsächlich treffen Stanley und Livingstone ein Jahr später in der Nähe des Tanganjikasees aufeinander - dabei sollen die Worte gefallen sein, nach denen diese Folge der Geschichtsmacher benannt ist.
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.

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. To find out more about how to subscribe, just visit www.scottishfield.co.uk/subscriptions We also have a chat with Damian Barr, host of the Big Scottish Book Club, currently airing at 10pm on BBC Scotland on Sundays. Each week, he is joined by three guests to discuss their work, in themed episodes. The show is a must-watch for bibliophiles, and here, we speak with Damian, who was our first guest back on episode one of the podcast talking about BBC Scotland's Shelf Isolation series.
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.

L'explorateur Henry Morton Stanley effectue la traversée de l'Afrique équatoriale d'Est en Ouest de 1874 à 1877, à la tête d'une caravane de 230 hommes. Une aventure hors du commun qu'il raconte dans un ouvrage intitulé `A travers le Continent mystérieux' publié en 1879. Parti de Zanzibar en novembre 1874, Stanley et ses hommes se livrent dans un premier temps à une exploration approfondie des Lacs Victoria et Tanganyika. De nombreux obstacles et imprévus se dressent sur la route de l'expédition : les pluies tropicales, les maladies, les fièvres, les animaux sauvages sans compter les menaces que constituent les hommes-panthères et les tribus hostiles. En novembre 1876, Stanley croise un fleuve majestueux, non répertorié sur les cartes. Est-ce un segment inconnu du Nil ou du Niger ? Serait-ce finalement le Congo ? L'explorateur veut percer le mystère et se décide à descendre le cours d'eau jusqu'à son embouchure, quel qu'en soit le prix. Pour accomplir cette tâche, Stanley doit pénétrer au cœur de contrées inexplorées et menaçantes qu'aucun homme blanc n'a jamais traversées. Pour l'aider à vaincre les dangers qui ne manqueront pas de se présenter, l'explorateur fait appel à Tipo Tip, un Arabe marchand d'esclaves et d'ivoire, qui accepte de l'accompagner pendant 60 jours de marche, contre la somme de 5000 dollars.... En 1990, ce récit est adapté avec brio par une équipe de la RTBF Liège, sous la forme d'un feuilleton radiophonique. 24 épisodes de 12 minutes suivent le fil cette épopée extraordinaire. La remarquable réalisation, signée André Romus, plonge l'auditeur au cœur de l'Afrique obscure et sauvage. Pour la deuxième semaine consécutive, le Fantôme de la Radio a sélectionné de larges extraits de cette série captivante.

Regard implacable, moustache bien taillée, casque colonial, tunique blanche, bottes de cuir et fusil en bandoulière : Henry Morton Stanley est l'archétype de l'aventurier du 19ème siècle. Sur les quelques photos que l'on peut trouver de lui, l'homme a fière allure. Ses yeux, en particulier, retiennent l'attention. On y devine la fréquentation du danger et les nombreux affrontements avec la mort. L'Afrique sera la grande passion de sa vie. Après avoir retrouvé l'explorateur britannique David Livingstone en 1871 sur les bords du lac Tanganyika, Stanley se décide 3 ans plus tard à mener une expédition insensée au cœur du continent africain, dans des zones immenses, totalement inconnues et inexplorées, là où les cartes restent vierges de toute inscription. A la tête d'une expédition de 230 hommes, il traverse l'Afrique équatoriale d'Est en Ouest de 1874 à 1877. Parti pour trouver les sources du Nil et tracer les contours de l'immense Lac Victoria, Stanley croise sur sa route un cours d'eau majestueux, aux flots tantôt paisibles tantôt violents et tourmentés. Est- le Nil ? Le Niger ? Ou serait-ce finalement le Congo ? L'explorateur veut percer le mystère. Il prend alors la décision de suivre le fleuve jusqu'à son embouchure, quoi qu'il en coûte. Longue de 11.000 km, l'épopée de Stanley et de ses hommes est parsemée d'obstacles et de dangers : les pluies tropicales, la chaleur étouffante, les fièvres, les maladies, les animaux sauvages, les hommes-panthères et les tribus cannibales... De tout cela il n'existe aucune archive sonore ni séquences filmées. En revanche, Stanley a raconté son périple, avec force détails, dans un ouvrage publié en 1879 intitulé ‘A travers le continent mystérieux'. En 1990, ce récit passionnant est adapté sous la forme d'un feuilleton radiophonique par une équipe de la RTBF Liège. 24 épisodes de 12 minutes suivent le fil cette aventure hors du commun. La remarquable réalisation, signée André Romus, plonge l'auditeur au cœur de l'Afrique obscure et sauvage. Le comédien Jacques Delcuvellerie fait mieux que prêter sa voix à Stanley. Il lui donne une nouvelle vie, un nouveau souffle. Le Fantôme de la Radio a sélectionné de larges extraits de cette série captivante, diffusée il y a plus de trente ans. A ne pas manquer si vous aimez les voyages au bout des ténèbres…

Cette série de podcasts s'intéresse à la vie de Léopold II dans un ordre chronologique, de sa naissance en 1845 à sa mort 1909. Le quatrième épisode consacré à Léopold II raconte sa rencontre avec Henry Morton Stanley et ses ambitions coloniales.
Ved en konference i Berlin i 1884/85 aftalte de europæiske stormagter at dele Afrika op mellem sig, et kontinent hvis indre stort set ikke var blevet udforsket af europæerne. Det var især private firmaer og personer (såsom englænderen Henry Morton Stanley og tyskeren Carl Peters), der var frontløbere for en egentlig statslig kolonisering, både i Afrika og Asien. De økonomiske gevinster ved kolonierne var ofte ret begrænsede for staterne, der kastede sig ud i kapløbet af både indenrigspolitiske årsager og af frygt for at tabe terræn til konkurrerende stater.I samme periode rejste en hård kritik af imperialismen sig så småt, da man fandt ud af de uhyrligheder europæiske kolonimagter begik i Afrika. Her stod tyskerne ikke tilbage for andre lande med egentlige folkedrab på oprindelige befolkninger. Et uhyggeligt varsel om, hvad der senere skulle følge i det 20. århundrede.Dette er andet af fem afsnit i Kongerækken hos Politiken Histories nye podcastserie om racisme i kunst og samfund i det 19. og 20. århundredes Tyskland.Serien udkommer i samarbejde med Statens Museum for Kunst.

I helga var det 150 år siden journalisten Henry Morton Stanley dro av sted for å finne den forsvunne misjonæren David Livingstone. Tomm Kristiansen forteller historien om århundrets scoop.
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.

Der britisch-amerikanische Journalist und Afrikaforscher Henry Morton Stanley wurde durch seine Suche nach David Livingstone bekannt. Ein ehrgeiziger Abenteurer und brutaler Wegbereiter der Kolonialisierung des heutigen Kongo.
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.
For many years Sierra Leone and Liberia have been too dangerous to travel through. They were places of terrible violence – associated with child soldiers, prisoner mutilation and blood diamonds.With their wars officially over, Tim Butcher set out on a journey across both countries. In this episode, he remembers this journey. It is his second appearance on Unfolding Maps. In episode 13, he talked about his book “Blood River” and his explorations through Congo, following the historic tracks of Henry Morton Stanley. This time, in Sierra Leone and Liberia, Tim followed the trail blazed by Graham Greene in 1935 and immortalized in the travel classic Journey Without Maps. Greene took 26 porters, a case of scotch, and hammocks in which he and his cousin Barbara were carried. Tim walked every blistering inch to gain an extraordinary ground-level view of a troubled and overlooked region, and he wrote a great book about it: “Chasing the Devil: The Search for Africa's Fighting Spirit”.In this conversation, he talks about what kind of devil he chased and whether he has found the Fighting Spirit of Africa in these two war torn countries.

In this invigorating episode of Travels Through Time, the award-winning Zimbabwean novelist Petina Gappah takes us in pursuit of the Scottish missionary and explorer David Livingstone in the year 1871. ~ David Livingstone was one of the towering figures of Victorian Britain. He was a missionary who became an explorer, who believed that he was divinely appointed to solve the puzzle of the geography of Africa. Livingstone made his name in the 1850s when he became the first recorded Briton to set eyes on Victoria Falls. In 1855 he was awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Geographical Society, and the next year he published his huge bestseller, Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa. Victorian Britons grew used to consuming stories of Livingstone’s travels as heroic adventure narratives. He was portrayed as a dynamo of energy and an oracle of vision who chased after the loftiest prizes: mysterious lakes or hidden rivers in a vast continent. But what of the African people who travelled with Livingstone? What did they think of this peculiar wandering mzungu? What kind of lives were living at that time? What did Livingstone’s intervention in their societies mean for them? The Zimbabwean novelist Petina Gappah raises these questions during the course of this episode as she takes us back to the year 1871. She tells us how glamorous Livingstone’s adventures were for his contemporaries. She shows us the magic and peril of strangers encountering one another for a first time. She explains how Livingstone’s expeditions worked as logistical enterprises. Then she depicts some of the more disturbing aspects of the period: the east African slave trade, and the massacres it generated. The scenes and subjects described in this episode feature in Petina Gappah’s new novel, Out of Darkness, Shining Light, which tells the story of Dr Livingstone’s final journey. The book is available in hardback from Faber. Show notes: Scene One: 21 March 1871, Bagamoio, a port on the east coast of what is now Tanzania. The American journalist Henry Morton Stanley sets out from Bagamoio for a daring mission into the African interior. Scene Two: 15 July 1871, A day market in Nyangwe, a village in Manyema, on the right bank of the Lualaba River in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo. Livingstone witnesses a massacre. Scene Three: October 1871, Ujiji in present day Tanzania. Stanley finally meets Livingstone, having marched 700 miles to reach him.

A—On va vous raconter aujourd’hui une tragédie grecque, l’histoire d’un roi qui se prenait pour dieu et qui avait imaginé son royaume aussi vaste que sa propre grandeur.Léopold II roi des belges, né en 1835.Il est le cousin de la Reine Victoria d’Angleterre, et le petit-fils du roi de France, Louis-Philippe 1er.Mais alors comment un régent possédant une lignée aussi prestigieuse, aussi parfaite, pouvait rester enclavé dans ce petit territoire d’à peine 30 000 km2 ? Insensé ! Impensable !Il entreprend alors, à la fin des années 1870, le projet fou de s’attacher les services de l’explorateur britannique Henry Morton Stanley, et lui demande de trouver en Afrique, un territoire assez grand qui ferait de lui un Roi parmi les Rois.Stanley est déjà bien habitué de l’Afrique, et en la traversant d’Est en Ouest, il trouve un large territoire sur ce qui était auparavant le royaume du Kongo.En moins de 5 ans, Léopold transforme le Congo en des terres privées, et crée l’Association Internationale pour l'Exploration et la Civilisation de l'Afrique Centrale, avec ce que l’on nommera ironiquement des ambitions « humanitaires et évangéliques ». Les Chambres législatives belges, par une résolution adoptée à la Chambre des représentants, le 28 avril 1885, et au Sénat le 30 avril, autorisent Léopold II à devenir chef d'un autre État : « Sa Majesté Léopold II, Roi des Belges, est autorisé à être le chef de l'État fondé en Afrique par l'Association internationale du Congo. L'union entre la Belgique et le nouvel État sera exclusivement personnelle. »« Personnelle » signifie que, c’est un territoire privé, appartenant exclusivement au roi Léopold II. Jamais ses ministres ni son gouvernement ne seront consultés dans la gestion du Congo. 1 – Kila Mwako – Isaya Mwinamo & Tom Miti B—L’avènement de l’automobile demande de plus de caoutchouc, et ça tombe bien puisque le Congo est le premier producteur au monde.L’armée, et les missionnaires belges s’occupent pour le compte du roi, de tisser un important réseau d’exploration et d’exploitation.Les ressources sont tellement abondantes, que le roi est obligé d’ouvrir ses frontières aux entreprises étrangères en ponctionnant une partie de leur bénéfice. Le Congo devient ainsi le plus grand camp de travail forcé jamais conçu : 2 millions de Km2 pour 20 millions d’habitants.Les profits augmentent au même rythme du nombre de morts Durant 25 ans, l’armée belge, pour le compte de leur roi, torture ou commandite des exactions d’une atrocité rare.On brûle, on tue, on torture, on tranche de têtes, des mains, des pieds.Si les villageois ne réussissent pas à fournir suffisamment de nourriture, on flagelle les corps à la chicotte, un fouet dur et puissant fait de peau de rhinocéros qui peut découper un homme en morceau.On verse de la résine de copal brûlante sur les visages des fautifs.On coupe les mains droites des hommes, des femmes et des enfants qui ne fournissent pas assez de caoutchouc.On enferme les femmes des récoltants, que l’on ne libère que si les hommes rejoignent les quotas fixés. Dans certains districts on éradique 70-80-90% de la population comme ça.Les missionnaires et les touristes qui sont confrontés à ces atrocités s’élèvent pour exiger que le Roi Léopold soit condamné à la pendaison. 2 – Mam’alobi Na Bala Yo - Bowane C—Mais les gains de Léopold II lui servent à s’acheter des soutiens un peu partout dans le monde, et au lieu de la pendaison, on réinvente Léopold II en grand humaniste et civilisateur. On estime avec prudence, que de son vivant, le monarque retirera personnellement du Congo une fortune évaluée à 220 millions de francs de l’époque, l’équivalent de plus de 6 milliards de francs français, soit un peu moins d’un milliard d’euros. En 1908, les pressions étrangères qui sont faites, sur l’affaire des mains coupées, et le compte rendu de la Commission d'enquête sur les exactions commises dans l'État indépendant du Congo, contraint Léopold II à laisser l’état belge annexer l’État « indépendant » du Congo, comme il l’aimait l’appeler.« Indépendant » étant ici employé comme synonyme de libre, où l’on peut y faire ce que l’on veut n’est-ce pas. Joseph Conrad, célèbre écrivain du XXème siècle, écrira lors de son voyage à travers les terres du Congo :« Ils attrapaient tout ce qu’ils pouvaient afin de ne pas en perdre une miette. C’était un pillage avec violence, un meurtre aggravé à grande échelle propre à ceux qui s’attaquent aux ténèbres » 3 --- Niyekese – De Wayon D—Embrigadé de force pour cause d’indiscipline lors de sa scolarité chez les pères missionnaires, le petit Joseph-Désiré fait l’apprentissage, durant 7 ans, de la soumission et des humiliations, dans le corps de l’armée colonial belge. Puis, à 20 ans, il devient journaliste pour le journal l’Avenir.Il sera d’ailleurs l’un des seuls à témoigner des émeutes et manifestations anti-colonialistes, au Congo.Dans les années 50, Patrice Lumumba, ce beau jeune homme intelligent de 30 ans, symbolisant le désir d’indépendance du Congo, et dont Mobutu est déjà le disciple, est arrêté par les autorités coloniales.Un an plus tard, il est libéré et part à Bruxelles négocier l’indépendance avec le roi Baudouin, arrière-petit-fils de Leopold II.Par le plus grand des hasard, Mobutu était Paris à cette époque, détaché pour le compte de son journal.C’est en se rendant à Bruxelles qu’il rencontre Lumumba, qui se prend d’affection pour ce jeune journaliste et le place sous son aile, lui faisant prendre part aux discussions et aux débats organisés à l’occasion de cette table ronde. Lorsque Lumumba sera premier ministre et créera le gouvernement, il nommera d’abord Mobutu secrétaire d’état, puis, ministre des armées.Le premier soulèvement populaire scinde le clan.Lumumba accuse l’ancienne puissance coloniale de fomenter des troubles. Mobutu, quant à lui, affirme sa fidélité aux puissances occidentales, et accuse Lumumba de sympathies communistes.Nous sommes en pleine guerre froide, et les États-Unis ne voient pas le communisme d’un très bon œil.On raconte que Washington préférait voir le premier ministre congolais disparaître du paysage politique coute que coute.Les troupes du colonel Mobutu, encerclent la maison de Patrice Lumumba, et le place en résidence surveillée, puis l’incarcère avec ses compagnons. 4 --- Indépendance Cha Cha – Grand Kallé E—Lors de leur transfert dans la province du Katanga, Lumumba et ses confrères seront victimes de terribles sévices.Les journaux raconteront que l’ex-premier ministre a été tué par des villageois, mais la vérité, que l’on connaît maintenant, est plus perverse.Patrice Lumumba, succombe à de multiples blessures, on ordonne à un officier de police belge de découper, et détruire le corps de Lumumba, en le plongeant dans l’acide sulfurique. Il ne doit rester aucune trace. Une fois le premier ministre assassiné, le chef d’état-major Mobutu contraint le président de la république congolaise, Joseph Kasa-Vobu, lui aussi, comme Lumumba, artificier de l’indépendance congolaise, de partager le pouvoir. Les partisans de Lumumba se rebellent et prennent le contrôle des deux tiers du pays. Mais Mobutu aidé par les belges et les Etats-Unis triomphe des rebelles.Il est nommé aux plus hautes fonctions de la hiérarchie militaire et rêve désormais de la fonction suprême.Il destituera le président et le nouveau premier ministre, qu’il condamnera à la peine capitale.Le 31 mai 1966, à Kinshasa, dans l’enceinte du Stade Kamanyola, un monde fou, ameuté par la propagande officielle. Ils se bousculent pour venir voir le spectacle macabre de la pendaison publique de ses 4 anciens ministres condamnés pour complot contre les institutions.Jamais pareil évènement n’était arrivé en public dans l’histoire du pays. 5 --- Vive Patrice Lumumba – African JazzMuhammad Ali's Rumble in The Jungle Speech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkmJ6aKNQDQF—C’était Mohamed Ali quelques semaines avant le célèbre combat « rumble in the jungle » face à George Foreman. Combat qui a eu lieu à Kinshasa en 1975« Un cadeau du président Mobutu au peuple zaïrois, et un honneur pour l’homme noir » y’avait-il écrit sur les affiches de promotion.Le combat est organisé par Don King, et il est rendu possible par l'offre de cinq millions de dollars faite au champion et au challenger par Mobutu qui souhaite ainsi faire la promotion de son pays. Ironie, 5 ans après l’assassinat de Lumumba, Mobutu réhabilite son image en le hissant à la place de héros national, martyr de la nation congolaise, mort pour la libération.Pur cynisme politique, il désirait sans doute montrer que lui aussi était l’un des grands libérateurs du Congo, l’homme qui avait réalisé l’indépendance. L’adhésion au parti unique est obligatoire pour tous les citoyens. « Les ancêtres et même les fœtus » dit le slogan.Pour frapper l’imaginaire du peuple congolais, il rebaptise la monnaie, le pays et le fleuve. La monnaie devient zaïre, le pays devient Zaïre, et le fleuve devient Zaïre.Les prénoms occidentaux ou chrétiens sont banni, et Mobutu donne l’exemple en s’appelant désormais « Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbendu wa Za Banga » , autrement dit « Mobutu le guerrier, qui va de victoire en victoire sans que personne puisse l’arrêter » A partir de ce moment, la propagande se met définitivement en place. Mobutu est partout, on le chante, on le prit, on le loue, il est élevé au rang de dieu : Mobutu ici, Mobutu là-bas, Mobutu partout. Il sera le prophète des africains Peu à peu, se met en place un concept, un mouvement politique, que plus tard en 1971, Mobutu nommera la « Zaïrianisation ».Revenir à une authenticité africaine des toponymes et des patronymes, en supprimant tout ce qui est à consonance occidentale. 6 --- Kongo Nsi Eto – Mavula Baudouin G—Rendre au zaïrois ce qui appartient aux zaïrois.Les étrangers qui font commerce de produit zaïrois sont déboutés.« Je concevais mal, qu’un étranger belge, français ou hongrois vienne s’installer ici pour revendre au zaïrois la bière qui sort des brasseries de Kinshasa et gagner de l’argent là-dessus, vivre là-dessus.Ce n’est pas un mal propre à la république du Zaïre ou aux seuls zaïrois, c’est un mal qu’on trouve partout dans n’importe quel pays au monde, même chez vous. Qui nous a appris la corruption ? Je crois que c’est vous-autres. Ce n’est pas une nouvelle invention du Zaïre » dit Mobutu. Lorsque des opposant zaïrois en exil attaquent le sud du pays, la France lui vient en aide militairement et parachute la légion étrangère. Lorsqu’il organise une soirée jet-society international. Sont présent à l’évènement l’état-major du président français, le président du patronat au zaire, des ex-ministres belges, des députés américains, un ex-premier ministre français (Raymond Barre), le fils du président Mitterand etc… Mais malgré l’excitation du pouvoir, malgré la fortune et la puissance, parfois la mélancolie le gagne.Les soirées, et les fêtes dérapent de plus en plus, rien n’est trop beau, ni trop riche.La générosité de Mobutu éclabousse ceux qui lui sont autour, les chefs de province, sa famille, et quelque politiciens étrangers aussi, qui venaient lui dire « vous savez nous allons entrer en période électorale, si nous gagnons, nous allons beaucoup vous aider… » 7 – Longwa Pt.2 – Orchestre Super Mazembe H—Mais les zaïrois se lassent de danser et de chanter à longueur de journée.Le proverbe dit : « ventre affamé n’a pas d’oreilles ».Les bouches parlent et dénoncent le MPR Mouvement Pour la Révolution, qui devient le Mouvement des Pourris de la République.En 1969, c’est la révolte étudiante. Elle provoque une razzia de l’armée qui tire à bout portant sur la foule amassée à Kinshasa. Les survivants, sont condamnés à 12 de prison.Mobutu ferme l’université et incorpore tous les étudiants dans l’armée, pour qu’ils apprennent à se taire, défiler, et ramper.Lorsque l’église émet quelques réserves quant à la politique du parti unique, elle est courtoisement priée de rester à l’écart. Les services de sécurité sont implacables. Toutes tentatives de coup d’état, de révolte, sans parler d’assassinat, est inévitablement contrées et très fortement punies. La plupart du temps par la peine de mort. 8 -- Mobutu V - Franco I—Georges Bush père, lors d’un voyage de Mobutu à la maison blanche, est dithyrambique à l’égard du père de la nation zaïroise.« Un de nos amis les plus précieux » disait-il, dont « je suis fier et très très très heureux de le comptez parmi nous ». Jacques Chirac, tout sourire, explique au micro de l’ORTF, toute la joie qu’il a eue à rencontrer Mobutu, et toute l’estime dont le président joui en France comme en Europe, le respect dont il est auréolé dans nos pays. « Et s’agissant de moi, disait-il, sachez que j’ai des sentiments très profond pour lui et très respectueux, mais qui sont les sentiments de l’affection. Si bien qu’un entretient avec le président Mobutu est toujours pour moi quelque chose d’extrêmement agréable et où j’apprends toujours beaucoup. » Giscard : « Je suis un ami du Zaïre, j’ai eu l’occasion de le montrer. Et je suis un ami personnel du président fondateur que je connais très bien depuis longtemps, d’abord par amitié que j’ai vu il y a quelques semaines, et aussi parce que nous sommes des citoyens français mais nous sommes avant tout des citoyens du monde, et les problèmes actuels sont des problèmes mondiaux et il faut connaître les problèmes mondiaux sur place. » Tous les gouvernements l’aiment. Le pouvoir belge avec en tête le roi Baudoin, tous les politiques successifs américains, français, les pays de l’Est… En juillet 1989, lors d’une intervention à l’assemblée générale des nations unie, où il avait été invité, Mobutu est interrompu, en plein discours, par des dissident hurlant « Mobutu is a murderer » Mobutu est un assassin. Ah ! 9 – Afrique de l’Ouest – Docteur Nico & l’African Fiesta Sukisa J—L’assassinat de son grand ami Ceausescu, en 1989, quelques mois après l’incident qu’il a connu à l’ONU, marque un changement net dans le comportement de Mobutu. Il réalise que le peuple peut tout, y compris renverser un pouvoir et exécuter son dictateur, tout père de la nation qu’il est.Il est prêt à écouter le peuple, à organiser un referendum, et à signer la fin de 30 ans de parti unique. C’est ce qu’il fait, le 24 avril 1990 devant une salle bondée et acquise à sa cause, son discours est clair, il ouvre la politique au multi-partisme et à chaque citoyen la liberté d’adhérer au parti de son choix.Lui, prendra congé du mouvement populaire de la révolution, mais restera quand-même le chef de l’état, au-dessus des partis politiques. Il sera l’arbitre.Il ouvre un grand débat de société, mais les langues se délient, et des leaders d’opposition naissent.« A bas le dictateur, à bas le voleur, à bas le pilleur… » entend-t-on dans les rues de Kinshasa.Désormais le lions n’a plus de dents, ni de griffes, et tout le monde dans la rue a commencé à injurier et à démystifier Mobutu.Les portraits du « roi léopard » sont déchirés et brûlés en public.Ce grand débat prend des proportions inattendues. 10 – L’Âge de l’Amour – Tabu Ley Rochereau K—Blessé dans son orgueil, Mobutu suspend la conférence nationale, il ne lui pardonne pas de s’ériger en tribunal populaire contre son régime.Lorsque le peuple se mobilise pour manifester pacifiquement, le pouvoir réprime par le sang et la mort.Ses soutiens étrangers le lâchent peu à peu, en commençant par le roi belge.Mobutu se réfugie alors dans son village natal, au beau milieu de la jungle, où il se fait construire un luxueux palais présidentiel.Seul et acculé, il cherche le réconfort auprès des villageois de sa région. Lorsque deux de ses fils meurent à deux ans d’intervalle, en 93 et en 95, soudain, s’estompe les fureurs de la conférence nationale, et réapparait la fibre affective bantou qui rappelle les alliances souterraines enracinées. Mais une grande crise frappe le pays. L’armée n’est plus payée et se sert elle-même dans les commerces de la capitale. Profitant d’une absence prolongée du chef à Genève pour soigner son cancer de la prostate, une rébellion naît à l’Est du Zaïre et déferle sur tout le pays.La rébellion est dirigée par un ancien dissident, proche de Patrice Lumumba: un certain Laurent Désiré Kabila Tous ceux qui ont fait de Mobutu un roi l’ont abandonné, ils ne veulent plus de lui. S’il revient à Kinshasa, il sera trainé dans les rues de la ville, son corps sera torturé. Une dernière tentative a lieu en présence de Nelson Mandela, de Mobutu et de Kabila pour rétablir le pouvoir de l’ancien lion.Kabila n’aura qu’un mot : « démission ». Le lendemain matin, Mobutu est à l’aéroport, ses anciens généraux fuient de l’autre côté du fleuve Congo, ses derniers fidèles sont lynchés, un pneu en feu autour du corps Le 8 septembre 1997 Mobutu meurt au Maroc, loin de la terre de ses ancêtres.Le demi-dieu n’était pas immortel.Après lui, viendra la dynastie des Kabila dont ils seront nombreux à être assassiné par des hommes en tenue militaire, des hommes de l’ombre. Des crimes qui ne seront jamais élucidés. 11—Beza Bakili Ma Nyon – Ondigui & Bota Tabansi International
Tarihçi Ayşe Hür bu haftaki programında, '19 Ocak 2020'de Libya iç savaşını görüşmek için toplanacak olan Berlin Konferansı, 135 yıl önceki bir başka Berlin konferansının tekrarı mı? 15 Kasım 1884-26 Şubat 1885 Berlin Konferansı'nda Afrika'nın talanı nasıl planlandı?' sorularını ele alıyor: Afrika’nın sömürgeleştirilmesinde, İskoç kaşif, doktor ve misyoner David Livingstone’un 1841’de Cape Town’da başlayan ve 1873 yılında Zambia’da sona eren "keşif gezileri"nin rolü büyüktü. Livingstone’nun Afrika’dan gönderdiği haberler kesilince New York Herald muhabiri Henry Morton Stanley onu aramak için 1871’de Afrika’ya gitti ve Livingstone öldükten onun misyonunu devam ettirdi. Güya ülkesi için yeni sömürgeler arayan Belçika Kralı II. Leopold, Stanley’in yazılarından sonra gözünü Kongo havzasına dikti. 1879-1894 arasında bugünkü Zaire'yi şahsi mülkü haline getirdi. Portekizli sömürgeciler Angola ve Mozambik’i en vahşi yöntemlerle sömürüyor, köle ticaretinden aslan payını alıyorlardı. İngilizler güya köle ticaretine karşıydılar ama Portekiz’in Kongo’yu sömürgeleştirme çabalarına perde arkasından destek veriyorlardı. Fransa ise donanma subayı Pierre de Brazza aracılığıyla Orta Afrika’yı ilhaka girişmiş ve 1881'de Brazzaville diye anılacak şehri kurmuş ve buraya Fransız bayrağını dikmişti. Britanya, 4 Haziran 1878 Antlaşması ile Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’ndan Kıbrıs'ı kiralayınca, Fransa’nın tepkilerini önlemek için 1881’de Tunus’un Fransızlar tarafından işgaline göz yumdu. Tunus’un 1881’de Fransızlar tarafından işgaline kızan Almanya ve Avusturya-Macaristan İmparatorluğu Üçlü İttifak'ı kurunca o tarihe kadar sömürgeciliğe karşı olduğunu iddia eden Almanya Afrika işlerine müdahil oldu. 1882’de “Bizim denizlere açılacak donanmamız yok, bizim sömürgeler için Fransızlarla savaşacak halimiz yok” diyen Bismarck 1883’te Alman tüccarlarının baskısıyla önce Gine Körfezi’nde “incelemeler” yaptı, ardından Kamerun, Togo, Zengibar Sultanlığı’nı işgal etti. 1877'de Transvaal'i, 1882'de Mısır'ı işgal ederek Afrika'yı güney ve kuzeyden paranteze alan Britanya’nın bundan sonraki hedefi arada kalan toprakları sömürgeleştirmekti. Britanya’nın Kongo havzasının paylaşımı için Portekizlilerle yaptığı gizli anlaşmalar Belçika, Fransa ve Almanya’yı kızdırınca 15 Kasım 1884’te “Sömürgeler Üzerine” Berlin Konferansı toplandı. Başlangıçta Berlin Konferansı’na Osmanlı İmparatorluğu davet edilmemişti. Britanya’nın araya girmesiyle kriz aşıldı ve Berlin Sefiri Mehmed Said Paşa ve Sefaret Müsteşarı Ohannes Efendi konferansa katıldı. Ama Osmanlı tarafının talana katılma talebi karşılık görmedi. Belçika Kralı II. Leopold 1885-1908 yılları arasında 23 yıl boyunca şahsi mülkü haline getirdiği Kongo’da 30 milyonluk nüfus işkenceler, köle alım-satımı, bulaşıcı hastalıklar ve katliamlarla 8-9 milyona düşürürken kauçuk plantasyonlarından gelen milyonlarca frangı cebine indirdi. 1887’de Etiyopyada İtalyanlara karşı Dogali Savaşı’nı, 1888’de Tanganika’da Almanlar ve İngilizlere karşı 226 Afrika kabilesinin direnişini, 1892’de Orta Afrika’da Fransız İngiliz, Alman ve Belçikalılara karşı Swahili Savaşı’nı, 1893’te Gine ve Gabon’da Fransız ve İngilizlere karşı Ekemenku Ayaklanması’nı Avrupa basını hiç yazmadı. 1904-1907 arasında Hererolar ve Namaların Alman Generali von Trotha’nın birlikleri tarafından soykırıma uğratılması 1990 yılında Namibya’nın resmen kurulmasına kadar Batı kamuoyunda bilinmiyordu. Almanya 20. Yüzyılın bu ilk soykırımı için yarım ağızla özür dilemekle yetindi. Fransa’nın Kongo ve Gabon’da yok ettiği yerli nüfus ise en iyimser kaynaklara göre 200 bin, bazılarına göre ise 800 bin civarında. Sadece Kongo-Okyanus Demiryolu inşaatında 20 bin yerli işçi ölmüştü. 1911 Trablusgarp Savaşı sonunda Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’ndan İtalya’nın egemenliğine geçen Libya'daki Sunusi rejiminin İtalya'ya direnişinin bedeli ise toplama kamplarında 100 bin sivilin ölmesi oldu.

When President Trump talked of Africa as a continent of “shithole countries” where people lived in huts, he was drawing on a set of ideas made popular in the 19th century. “Darkest Africa” became a favorite trope of explorers like Henry Morton Stanley who promoted his books and lectures by pushing the idea of Africa as a dark place – a phrase that had all kinds of meanings – racial, intellectual, geographical. Today I speak with Jeannette Eileen Jones, author of In Search of Brightest Africa, Reimagining the Dark Continent in American Culture, 1884-1936 (University of Georgia Press, 2011). Jones talks about the many different groups, from naturalists and conservationists to African American artists and intellectuals, who begin to recast Africa in the America imagination in the early 20th century. Jones is associate professor of history and ethnic studies at University of Nebraska Lincoln. Michael F. Robinson is professor of history at Hillyer College, University of Hartford. He's the author of The Coldest Crucible: Arctic Exploration and American Culture (University of Chicago Press, 2006) and The Lost White Tribe: Scientists, Explorers, and the Theory that Changed a Continent (Oxford University Press, 2016).

Throughout Martin Dugard's life, running has been a consistent place he always returns. He's written for Outside, Sports Illustrated, and Runner's World about the world of running. He recently updated and rereleased his best selling book 'To Be A Runner'. Since his start as a writer, Martin has gone on to be a New York Times bestselling author writing books with Bill O'Reilly, James Patterson, and Mark Burnett. In today's episode we chat about his rereleased book, taking the risk to leave a corporate job to chase his dream of being a freelance writer, the process of writing, collaboration with others to write books, and his tips for those who want to take the risk and go 'all in' on chasing their dreams.TODAY'S EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY Penji - Use code 'JUMBLE' to get 15% off your first monthOpportunityInChina.comAbout MartinMr. Dugard is also the author of the critically lauded memoir To Be A Runner, a series of essays which takes the reader around the world as he recounts his personal journey through the world of distance running. It is a book about life itself, and how the simple act of stepping outside for a run is a metaphor for our daily desire to be the best possible version of ourselves, step by step.This attribute can be seen in the diversity and depth of Mr. Dugard's body of work. His writing and research into global exploration resulted in The Explorers (Simon and Schuster, 2013), an engaging narrative about the motivations for pursuing adventure — even at the risk of death.His ten years covering the Tour de France resulted in Chasing Lance (Little, Brown, 2005) a travelogue combining history, sports and gastronomy. Other works include the New York Times bestseller The Murder of King Tut (with James Patterson; Little, Brown, 2009); The Last Voyage of Columbus (Little, Brown, 2005), which tells the riveting tale of the legendary Admiral’s final, ill-fated journey in crisp, swashbuckling fashion; Into Africa: The Epic Adventures of Stanley and Livingstone (Doubleday, 2003), Farther Than Any Man: The Rise and Fall of Captain James Cook (Pocket Books, 2001), Knockdown(Pocket Books, 1999), and Surviving the Toughest Race on Earth(McGraw-Hill, 1998). In addition, Dugard lived on the island of Pulau Tiga during the filming of Survivor's inaugural season to write the bestselling Survivor with mega-producer Mark Burnett.Mr. Dugard is the writer and producer of A Warrior's Heart, starring Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2011.An adventurer himself, Dugard regularly immerses himself in his research to understand characters and their motivations better. To better understand Columbus he traveled through Spain, the Caribbean and Central America. For Tut he explored pharaohs' tombs in Egypt's Valley of the Kings. He followed Henry Morton Stanley’s path across Tanzania while researching Into Africa (managing to get thrown into an African prison in the process), and swam in the tiger shark-infested waters of Hawaii’s Kealakekua Bay to recreate Captain James Cook’s death for Farther Than Any Man. And for To Be A Runner, he ran with the bulls in Pamplona, suffered electric shock and hypothermia as part of Britain's Tough Guy competition, and explored Japanese WWII bunkers on the island of Saipan.On the more personal side of adventure, Dugard competed in the Raid Gauloises endurance race three times, and flew around the world at twice the speed of sound aboard an Air France Concorde. The time of 31 hours and 28 minutes set a world record for global circumnavigation. Dugard’s magazine writing has appeared in Esquire, Outside, Sports Illustrated, and GQ, among others. In 1997, Dugard was awarded the Dallas Area Press Club’s Katie Award for Best Magazine Sports Story.Mr. Dugard spends his afternoons as the Head Cross Country Coach at JSerra Catholic High School in San Juan Capistrano, California — a position he has held since 2005. His boys and girls squads regularly qualify for the California State Championships, and his girls team won the state title in 2010, 2011 and 2012. In addition, he serves on the Board of Directors of the USA Track & Field Foundation, charged with growing youth distance running in America. Martin Dugard and his wife live in Orange County, California. They have three sons.
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.

The creation of the Congo Free State was one part cheap hustle and one part military occupation. King Leopold II managed to convince Europe he was a noble humanitarian while he was secretly building one of the most exploitative colonial states in Africa. With the help of the explorer Henry Morton Stanley and a well placed endorsement from the President of the United States the Congo Free State came into being. Sadly for the natives of the Congo river basin, this new regime would prove to be uniquely sadistic. Tune in and find out how red toilet paper, fake names, and the Goodyear tire guy all play a role in the story. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sargrenti is the name by which Major General Sir Garnet Wolseley, KCMG (1833 – 1913) is still known in the West African state of Ghana. Kofi Gyan, the 15-year old boy who spits in Sargrenti's eye, is the nephew of the chief of Elmina, a town on the Atlantic coast of Ghana. On Christmas Day, 1871, Kofi’s godfather gives him a diary as a Christmas present and charges him with the task of keeping a personal record of the momentous events through which they are living. This novel is a transcription of Kofi's diary. Elmina town has a long-standing relationship with the Castelo de São Jorge da Mina, known today as Elmina Castle, built by the Portuguese in 1482 and captured from them by the Dutch in 1637. In April, 1872, the Dutch hand over the unprofitable castle to the British. The people of Elmina have not been consulted and resist the change. On June 13, 1873 British forces punish them by bombarding the town and destroying it. (It has never been rebuilt. The flat open ground where it once stood serves as a constant reminder of the savage power of Imperial Britain.) After the destruction of Elmina, Kofi moves to his mother’s family home in nearby Cape Coast, seat of the British colonial government, where Sargrenti is preparing to march inland and attack the independent Asante state. There Melton Prior, war artist of the London weekly news magazine, The Illustrated London News, offers Kofi a job as his assistant. This gives the lad an opportunity to observe at close quarters not only Prior but also the other war correspondents, Henry Morton Stanley and G. A. Henty. Kofi witnesses and experiences the trauma of a brutal war, a run-up to the formal colonialism which would be realized ten years later at the 1885 Berlin conference, where European powers drew lines on the map of Africa, dividing the territory up amongst themselves. On February 6, 1874, Sargrenti's troops loot the palace of the Asante king, Kofi Karikari, and then blow up the stone building and set the city of Kumase on fire, razing it to the ground. Kofi’s story culminates in his angry response to the British auction of their loot in Cape Coast Castle. The loot includes the solid gold mask shown on the front cover of the novel. That mask continues to reside in the Wallace Collection in London. The invasion of Asante met with the enthusiastic approval of the British public, which elevated Wolseley to the status of a national hero. All the war correspondents and several military officers hastened to cash in on public sentiment by publishing books telling the story of their victory. In all of these, without exception, the coastal Fante feature as feckless and cowardly and the Asante as ruthless savages. The Boy who Spat in Sargrenti's Eye tells the story of these momentous events for the first time from an African point of view. It is told with irony and with occasional flashes of humor. The novel is illustrated with scans of seventy engravings first published in The Illustrated London News. This book won a Burt Award for African Literature which included the donation by the Ghana Book Trust of 3000 copies to school libraries in Ghana. In 2016, at the annual conference of the African Literature Association held in Atlanta, GA, it received the ALA’s Creative Book of the Year Award. Prof. Kwesi Kwaa Prah writes:“The Boy who Spat in Sargrenti's War takes history out of the recesses of memory and obscurity, and expresses it in vivid and dazzling light.” The Boy who Spat in Sargrenti's Eye is a story for adults of all ages, both young adults and those no longer so young.

Frontiers, Episodes #4 of 4. Find the transcript and complete show notes at digpodcast.org. Victorian-era European imperialism was facilitated by the thousands of missionaries, businessmen, soldiers, and private police forces employed by the religious, economic, and military institutions of “civilized” Europe, but there were also individuals that facilitated this process, such as Henry Morton Stanley, Joseph Conrad, and Roger Casement. These individuals were essential to the larger effort to normalize imperialism. They were seen as national heroes, adventurers, larger-than-life pinnacles of Europe’s “civilizing” mission in sub-Saharan Africa. All of these men treated sub-Saharan Africa as if it were theirs for the taking, where they could play and profit as they saw fit. All of these men were essential to European imperialism in sub-Saharan Africa: its rise, its fall, and its impact on the people it crushed along the way. So today we’re going to take a look at where Conrad, Casement, and Stanley’s stories intersect: in the Congo, or as Joseph Conrad called it, in the “Heart of Darkness.” Brief Bibliography (get the full bibliography at digpodcast.org): Adam Hochschild, King Leopold’s Ghost (Houghton Miffling, 1999).

10.11.1871: Henry Morton Stanley findet den vermissten Afrika-Forscher Livingstone
Scott Joplin heard about, and perhaps even saw, a collision between two locomotives in Texas, and memorialized the event in his classic style in the Crush Collision March. Someone recently called it the best silent film villain song he had heard; someone else imagined a robber getting away while the damsel in distress was about to be hit by the train. The real story is more bizarre. The villain here was the MKT Railroad who staged the collision as a publicity event in Texas in 1896. It was witnessed by 40,000 people, 3 of whom were killed when the boilers of the two locomotives exploded during the collision. Americans do some pretty crazy stunts. Henry Morton Stanley was working for an American newspaper when he “staged” the finding of Livingstone, who did not think he was lost and was not interested in being found. In this chapter, the American Creighton Wellman begins his career as a medical missionary, and performs some amazing feats among the “natives” - much of it sleight of hand. Then he returns to the US, and his self-promotion and deception start ballooning. He created the template for smoke and mirrors in tropical medicine.

Chapter 8 Who Among You is Human? In the late 1880s, several explorers followed Henry Morton Stanley up the Congo River to rescue Emin Pasha. When they returned to Europe, they found red carpet receptions in Brussels and London, including audiences with royalty. High society. They likely danced to Strauss waltzes in these receptions. Yet these explorers were returning from a disastrous journey. Two thirds of their 1000 African porters deserted or died, with most of the deaths from starvation. I wonder if any of the fêted survivors were bold enough to request the Strauss Waltz, the Cries of Mephistopheles from Hell? They had experienced hell, a hell of their own making, in the Congo. And yet, in this imperial heart of darkness, it was a pygmy who reminded us all of what it means to be human. Send me your reactions at raymondvdowning@gmail.com.

Episode 4 - Ch 3 … And an Auspicious Invention When I was growing up, we knew of Dr David Livingstone as one of the most famous African explorers. The same apparently was true in my father’s day: as a 12 year old child he read of Livingstone in a book called Missionary Heroes in Africa, dated February 14, 1928. We all knew how Henry Morton Stanley supposedly “found” the lost Livingstone in eastern Africa, greeting him with the words “Dr Livingstone I presume.” We also heard the tales of how, when he died while exploring, his African friends buried his heart in Africa, and carried his body back to England. But one of the keys to understanding any global health worker is knowing where they came from. Livingstone was Scottish. He was part of a tradition: Scotland produced a disproportionately large number of explorers; we have already met Mungo Park. And Scotland boasted one of Europe’s premier medical schools in Edinburgh. Livingstone didn’t go there, but van der Kemp did - and we will meet other Scottish doctors later in these stories. Livingstone, though he seemed to function best when working alone, came from a distinct Scottish tradition. Send me your reactions at raymondvdowning@gmail.com.

Cuando se leen vidas de grandes exploradores es inevitable preguntarse de qué están hechos o de dónde sacan el valor. ¿Tendrán una ración extra de audacia o de curiosidad? ¿De una pasión casi obsesiva por llegar al final de las cosas? ¿Será sólo eso? Uno de los puntos que todos los exploradores comparten es que no les gustan las personas que quieren caminos ya hechos, caminos seguros. En sus equipos y junto a ellos sólo quieren a aquellos que van sabiendo que, vayan donde vayan, no habrá caminos en absoluto.Los audaces son pocos y su mirada les delata. Por eso, aunque sea en el mismísimo corazón de África, perdidos de lo que llamamos "civilización", en cuanto se ven, sin ninguna duda, se reconocen.En esta Cronoficción de SER Historia han participado:Raúl Lara como Dr. David LivingstoneGema Carballedo como Mary LivingstoneÁlvaro Ramos como Henry Morton StanleyHéctor Checa como Sebituane, jefe de la tribu MakololoY las voces invitadas de Carmen Socías y Fermín Agustí.Guión de Daniel Marín y Mona León SiminianiCon la colaboración en el programa de Juan Ochoa.Realización y diseño sonoro: Alejandro Otheguy y Mona León Siminiani.Producción: Fermín AgustíDirección del episodio: Mona León Siminiani.

Dr. David Livingstone captured the interest and imagination of the world as he plunged deeper into the African interior during his heroic missionary exploits. But in the early 1870's, word from the Scottish explorer ceased. After five years, the New York Herald sent reporter Henry Stanley to find him, dead or alive. It was God's timing. Listen in to hear the full story on this episode of the podcast. Instant Takeaways Inspire others. Stanley went to Africa "as prejudiced against religion as the worst infidel in London" but his interaction with Livingstone changed him.

EPISODIO 11. TEMPORADA 01Acompañamos a Henry Morton Stanley na súa viaxe até o interior de África na busca do Dr. Livingstone. Presenciamos o famoso encontro acontecido en novembro de 1871, e que coñecemos a través do artigo publicado no New York Herald, do cal era xornalista Stanley, así como dos diarios de Livingstone.A partir da personalidade polifacética do Dr. David Livingstone, escocés de nacemento, exemplo de home feito a si mesmo, que gozou de grande fama durante a súa vida e converteuse en heroe do Imperio Británico despois da súa morte, reflexionamos sobre a expansión e colonización británica no continente africano na segunda metade do s. XIX. Grandes exploracións, avances médicos, fervor relixioso e posicionamentos éticos: David Livingstone é un bo exemplo de todos eles, mais a súa vida e a súa acción non se podería entender sen reflexionar sobre os intereses políticos e económicos que levaron a Gran Bretaña a se converter no imperio colonial máis extenso neste período.Música da sintonía: http://audionautix.com/ (The voyage, PennyWhistle, TriumphantReturn).Concerto para clarinete e orquestra en la maior (K. 622) de W.

Henry Morton Stanley
Henry Morton Stanley
Michael F. Robinson‘s new book is such a pleasure to read, I cant even. It's not just because you get to say Gambaragara over and over again if you read it aloud. (I recommend doing this, even if just with that one word.) It's not just because its a beautifully crafted work of prose. And it's not just because its quite literally a page-turner. The Lost White Tribe: Explorers, Scientists, and the Theory that Changed a Continent (Oxford University Press, 2016) is also a masterful biography of an idea: the life story of the Hamitic hypothesis and its relationship to to the histories of exploration, science, ideas of human origins, and much much more. Robinson's book opens with an account of reporter David Ker going to the London mansion of Henry Morton Stanley in 1885 to interview the man who was at that point the world's most famous explorer. (As Robinson puts it, Stanley resided in London, but in truth he lived nowhere.) As the story unfolds we learn about Stanley's encounter with the white race of Gambaragara and its imbrication with a set of larger questions (Where did the human species originate? Why had it split into separate races? And how had these races come to settle the different regions of the planet?) as we meet some fascinating and compelling figures. The Lost White Tribe also has mummies, ruins, skulls, adventure fiction, and Freud. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For his latest book, Michael Robinson journeyed to the mountains of East Africa with a particular mission in mind: to search for explorer Henry Morton Stanley's so-called "white tribe." This hour, Robinson talks about his experience, and how it helped inform The Lost White Tribe: Explorers, Scientists, and the Theory that Changed a Continent.

"Dr. Livingstone, I Presume?"-Born John Rowland to a prostitute in England in 1841 who promptly abandoned him, Henry Morton Stanley emigrated to America in 1861, joined the Confederate Army, was wounded at Shiloh, captured, and became a "galvanized" Yankee, before joining the Union Navy. He became a freelance writer and was hired by the New York Herald to take on an extremely dangerous mission-that of finding the missing British explorer David Livingstone dead or alive somewhere in the heart of Africa.
Avsnitt 33 handlar om en av de mest dramatiska händelserna i den svenska medeltiden. Slutet på 1200-talet och de första decennierna på 1300-talet var en politisk cirkus och hela havet stormar lek där det gällde att inte lita på i princip någon. Tre bröder ryker ihop om "kakan" och inga knep är för vulgära eller ljusskygga i den striden. Dessutom ska Henry Morton Stanley ställas inför rätta i historiska hatten.

Been crazy busy will come out within week new epsiode july 24 World cup has got in the way but you should know USA played really well, game of the tournament New episode June 24th Robert Falcon Scott, CVO (6 June 1868 – c. 29 March 1912) was a Royal Navyofficer and explorer who led two expeditions to the Antarctic regions: theDiscovery Expedition, 1901–04, and the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition, 1910–13. Scott, writing his journal in the Cape Evans hut, winter 19112014-06-08 During the research for his dual biography of Scott and Roald Amundsen,[9] polar historian Roland Huntford investigated a possible scandal in Scott's early naval career, related to the period 1889–90 when Scott was a lieutenant on HMS Amphion. According to Huntford, Scott "disappears from naval records" for eight months, from mid-August 1889 until 26 March 1890. Huntford hints at involvement with a married American woman, of cover-up, and protection by senior officers. Biographer David Crane reduces the missing period to eleven weeks, Popular hero[edit] Discovery returned to Britain in September 1904. The expedition had caught the public imagination, and Scott became a popular hero. He was awarded a cluster of honours and medals, including many from overseas, and was promoted to the rank of captain.[35] He was invited to Balmoral Castle, where King Edward VII promoted him a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (CVO).[36] The expedition had both scientific and exploration objectives; the latter included a long journey south, in the direction of the South Pole. This march, undertaken by Scott,Ernest Shackleton and Edward Wilson, took them to a latitude of 82° 17′ S, about 530 miles (850 km) from the pole. A harrowing return journey brought about Shackleton's physical collapse and his early departure from the expedition Dispute with Shackleton[edit] By early 1906, Scott had sounded out the RGS about the possible funding of a future Antarctic expedition.[39] It was therefore unwelcome news to him that Ernest Shackleton had announced his own plans to travel to Discovery's old McMurdo Sound base and launch a bid for the South Pole from there.[40] Scott claimed, in the first of a series of letters to Shackleton, that the area around McMurdo was his own "field of work" to which he had prior rights until he chose to give them up, and that Shackleton should therefore work from an entirely different area. Scott's group took this photograph of themselves using a string to operate the shutter on 17 January 1912, the day after they discovered Amundsen had reached the pole first.

Roald Amundsen He is also known as the first to traverse the Northwest Passage (1903–06). Roald Engelbregt Gravning Amundsen (Norwegian: [ˈɾuːɑl ˈɑmʉnsən]; 16 July 1872 – c. 18 June 1928) was a Norwegian explorer of polar regions.

His fame as an explorer helped drive forward the obsession with discovering the sources of the River Nile Although Livingstone is known as "Africa's greatest missionary,” he is only recorded as having converted one African: Sechele, who was the chief of the Kwena people of Botswana. Kwena Livingstone's heart was buried under a Mvula tree near the spot where he died, now the site of the Livingstone Memorial.[29]His body together with his journal was carried over a thousand miles by his loyal attendants Chuma and Susi to the coast toBagamoyo, and was returned to Britain for burial. After lying in repose at No.1 Savile Row — then headquarters of the Royal Geographical Society, now the home of bespoke tailors Gieves & Hawkes — his remains were interred at Westminster Abbey, London.[4][30] Famous people buried at Westminster Abbey Oliver CromwellSoldier and politician died 1658 Sir Isaac NewtonScientist died 1727 Charles DickensNovelist died 1870 Charles DarwinNaturalist died 1882 Sir Isaac NewtonScientist died 1727 Sir Laurence OlivierActor died 1989 Henry Morton Stanley Sir Henry Morton Stanley GCB, born John Rowlands (28 January 1841 – 10 May 1904), was a Welsh journalist and explorer famous for his exploration of central Africa and his search for missionary and explorer David Livingstone Henry Morton Stanley's life was a fascinating mix of heroic adventure, journalism and fantasy. He became famous by finding David Livingstone and writing about it in the New York Herald -- even though Livingstone was not lost. Stanley was born in North Wales, an illegitimate child, and baptised as John Rowlands. Aged 17, he ran away to sea and in New Orleans gave himself a new name. During following years, he led a roving life in America, working mostly as a freelance journalist. He fought on both sides in the Civil War.
