The oriental bantou began with the kingdoms Luba (16th century) and Lunda (17th century). The Kongo, Lunda, Luba, and Kuba state systems shared certain common features, I.The Kongo kingdom The Kongo Kingdom was the first state on the west coast of Central Africa to come into contact with Europeans. Portuguese sailors under Diogo Cao landed at the mouth of the Congo River in 1482 . Cao traveled from Portugal to Kongo and back several times during the 1480s, bringing missionaries to the Kongo court and taking Kongo nobles to Portugal in 1485. In the 1490s, the king of Kongo asked Portugal for missionaries and technical assistance in exchange for ivory and other desirable items, such as slaves and copperwares a relationship, ultimately detrimental to the Kongo, which continued for centuries. Competition over the slave trade had repercussions far beyond the boundaries of Kongo society. Slave-trading activities created powerful vested interests among both Africans and foreigners; the Portuguese and later the Dutch, French, British, and Arabs.

Extractions: Sub-Saharan Africa was originally inhabited by a group of people who were probably the forefathers of the Pygmies, Bushmen and Hottentots of today. In 30,000 BC, they were pushed to the Northwest and South by another group of people who were taller and larger. Sub-Saharan Africa was home to several great kingdoms before European colonization. The Ghana Empire, which began in the fourth century and reached its height in the tenth century, commanding most of the area between Timbuktu and the Atlantic Ocean. The Mali Empire (also known as the Madingo Empire) was a trading kingdom which controlled most of West Africa as well as the city of Timbuktu and extended into the southern Sahara. Under Mansa Musa, the Mali Empire reached its apogee in the fourteenth century. The Arab traveler Ibn Batuta visited and wrote on the Mali empire in the mid-fourteenth century. Africa came to be dominated by foreign peoples. The Portuguese were the first to explore Sub-Saharan Africa in 1270. By the nineteenth century, Sub-Saharan Africa had been colonized by almost every European nation and was host to a series of battles, conflicts of interest and treaties. The dynamics of this colonial period for the most part determined Africa's borders today. Countries include: Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Cote d'Ivoire, Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Reunion, Rwanda, Sao Tome and Principe, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, Zaire, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

Extractions: Ministry of Culture, Cuba I read with interest Robert Barnett's note in this issue of Elegua Newsletter.I have known Robert for over four years, he is a friend of the Cuban people, so I know his criticism is heartfelt Cuba has worked very hard since the collapse of the Soviet Union to rebuild its economy and give its people a better life. We appreciate the foreign joint venture partners who have begun to work with us in Cuba and we welcome foreign visitors to the island. I am well aware of the dangers of uncontrolled tourism, and in association with the Ministry of Culture we are trying to monitor its impact on Cuba. Most visitors come to Cuba for our superior beaches and the safety of our island. The visitors we most welcome are those who come to study and work with us to explore our history and cultural expression. In some countries this is called cultural tourism, but I don't like the phrase as it might imply the exploitation of cultural heritage. I like to think in terms of professional exchanges. It is for this reason that I have agreed to work with the Eleggua Project. Eleggua Project now hosts more than five programs a year for professionals, academics, graduate and undergraduate students who wish to understand the cultural influences that have contributed to the creation of modern Cuba. I always enjoy reading the Eleggua Newsletter because I gain new insights and new perspectives on my own country that result from these professional exchanges.

Extractions: Last year the colony got a new governor. Freiherr von Rechenberg was replaced on April 15th by Dr. Schnee , hitherto Director of the Reichskolonialamt. As the previous governor of our protectorate did not manage to administrate the colony in accordance with the views of the white inhabitants of the colony, the successor has been welcomed with great expectations. That in Deutsch-Ostafrika the wishes and needs of the white population will be given more consideration than before, was explicitly emphasized by undersecretary of state Dr. Solf on the occasion of his visit to Daressalam : "some of you believe the opening of Africa can only proceed via the indigenous and the trade with them; one would not like to see the white planters in Ostafrika. This is not the government's standpoint. Suedwest, for instance, it does not regard as livestock raising country only. What I have said in Morogoro a while agi, I want to repeat here : cultures of indigenous can very well coexist next to plantations. It is very well possible to do the one and not to neglect the other. This land is big and wide enough for both. Let the indigenous take care of their cultures. On the other hand the government will not forget that we have, in Ostafrika, a German colony."
Extractions: Zaire Zaire The Kongo have long occupied all of Bas-Zaïre Region. Most but not all of these peoples, together with substantial numbers in Angola and smaller numbers in Congo, were originally inhabitants of the kingdom of the Kongo encountered by the Portuguese in the late fifteenth century. For all practical purposes, that kingdom had disintegrated into a number of small chiefdoms by the early seventeenth century. The end of the kingdom's political power did not preclude the continuing spread of Kongo influence, however, and some groups may have become Kongo in culture later. Because of their early contact with Europeans, the Kongo were among the groups early and heavily influenced by Roman Catholic and Protestant missionaries and by the schools established by them. The Roman Catholics placed particular emphasis on the traditions of the Kongo as they understood them and in turn communicated these reconstructed traditions to their students. The complex interaction of myth, competition, and the ambition of some leaders of Kongo origin as the prospect of independence loomed made the Kongo the largest single group to define themselves in ethnic terms for political purposes in the late 1950s and one of the few to develop an articulate ethnic ideology (see The Rise of Militant Ethnicity: Abako , ch. 1).

Extractions: BACK ISSUES AFRICAN AFFAIRS Tricks of the Imperialist Forked Tongue: Chinese Imperialism By Dr. Daniel Tetteh Osabu-Kle Imperialism is independent of colour and the Chinese are no exception to this rule. An indispensable characteristic of imperialism is racism but because the Chinese are supposed to be of yellow colour being part of the Mongolian race, there is some tendency to assume that the Chinese are not imperialists because they are also discriminated against by the institutionalised racism of the West, and China was virtually colonised by the West. It is undeniable that Western imperialism forced opium down the throat of the Chinese in the so-called opium wars. However, having a previous history of imperialist domination does not by itself prevent any country or people from becoming imperialist and engage in the process of exploitation of the human and material resources of other people.
