	Sjambok - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The instrument is also known as kiboko (the name for the hippopotamus) in Kiswahili and as mnigolo in Malinké.
		In the Portuguese African colonies and Congo Free State it was called a chicotte, from the Portuguese word for whip.
		There it was sometimes rendered even more lacerating by adding, say, nails.

	KING LEOPOLD'S GHOST
		The brutality of Leopold's regime saw no bounds as it included forceful conscription of men, women and children, and untold physical force applied using the chicotte, "a whip of raw, sun-dried hippopotamus hide, cut into a long sharp-edged cork-screw strip" (p.
		This made it possible to inflict wounds upon one lash and, in many cases, the Force Publique officer in charge added salt to the wounds.
		Failure to meet the quota meant the chicotte was applied.

	Force Publique - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The FP's aim was, more or less, to terrorise the local population.
		Armed with modern weapons and the chicotte — a bull whip made of hippopotamus hide — the FP routinely took and tortured hostages (mostly women, who were held captive in order to force their husbands to meet state demands, usually rubber quotas), flogged, and raped the natives.
		They also burned recalcitrant villages, and above all, took human hands as trophies on the orders of white officers to show that bullets hadn't been wasted.

	THE CRIME
		Forced labour was a given, and this was forced through hostages, slave chains, starvation, arson, and above all, the notorious chicotte, a whip made out of raw, sun-dried hippopotamus hide.
		Less than two dozen strokes of it sent victims into unconsciousness; and about a 100 or more strokes were often fatal.
		The chicotte was freely used by both Leopold’s men and the French.The masses of refugees who had crossed the Congo River to escape Leopold and his brutal cronies, ended up going back to escape the French [in Congo-Brazzaville].

		The Lower Silurian (Telychian) Chicotte Formation is a regionally extensive crinoid-rich unit exposed in the south central part of Anticosti Island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
		The Chicotte encrinites represent an inner ramp, crinoidal sand-shoal complex (about 80 m thick) prograding over deeper mid to outer ramp facies of the underlying Jupiter Formation in response to a long-term sea level fall.
		Metre-scale cycles in the upper Chicotte encrinites are capped by more complex surfaces formed by distinct but superimposed erosive events.

	Guardian \| Leopold reigns for a day in Kinshasa
		King Leopold, who never set foot in the Congo, controlled the vast country as his personal colony from 1885 to 1908, when it was handed over to Belgian government rule.
		During those decades his agents enslaved its people to harvest rubber, beating workers with a hippo-hide whip known as the chicotte and severing the hands of men, women and children who failed to meet their quotas.
		As many as 10 million Congolese are estimated to have died as a result of executions, unfamiliar diseases and hunger.

		Several forms in the Jupiter and Chicotte formations indicate a reduction in the number of flank ribs with time (Fig.
		The trend of rib reduction appears to be independent of shell shape parameters (e.g., length/width ratio, apical angle, and sulcus size) that may be related to shell flank width.
		The limited number of shells of S. vicina from the upper Telychian Chicotte Formation provides further evidence for the stepped, directional change in average apical angle from the Anticosti to the Gotland forms of Stegerhynchus.

		Then, armed with a lash of hippopotamus hide, similar to what we call a cow-hide, but more flexible, a fl soldier, who is only required to be energetic and pitiless, flogs the victims.
		Every time the executioner draws away the chicotte a reddish streak appears upon the skin of the wretched victims who, although strongly built, gasp in terrible contortions.
		Regularly and without cessation the Chicotte winds round the flesh of these martyrs of the most relentless and loathsome tyrants who have ever disgraced humanity.

		The chicotte was also a weapon of punishment used by the Belgians.
		A chicotte was a whip made from a strip of hippo hide, and if used forcefully enough, the chicotte could be used to kill.
		In sum, the inhumane practices of the chicotte, executions, mutilation and more were all widely and liberally applied in a campaign that M Wrong describes “often seemed to have extermination of races deemed inferior as an incidental aim.” Leopold II’s philanthropic venture was actually a sickening money making device.

	BBC - h2g2 - King Leopold II and the Belgian Congo
		Entire villages were held responsible for meeting rubber production quotas, and their women and chiefs would typically be held captive against collection.
		The chicotte, a hippo-hide whip, was widely used as a means of punishing perceived infractions of state or company authority, and quickly became the feared symbol of Leopold's administration.
		It was not uncommon for workers to be beaten to death with this instrument, and 90 lashes was considered standard practice.

		Practically the only wages which the people receive for their never-ending toil is the abuse of the king's agents, a few inhuman white men and an army of fls, for the most part cannibals drawn from alien tribes.
		Under the abuse of these cannibals, which takes the form of outrage, mutilation, arson, murder, and whippings with the terrible "chicotte" of raw hippopotamus hide, the Congolese are disappearing from the earth at the rate of many thousands a year.
		Frequent denials of the atrocities practiced by the agents of King Leopold have been made, for the most part, by persons more or less intimately connected with the so-called "Belgian Lobby" in Washington.

		All the while King Leopold II was engaged in this activity, his Force Publique troops were kidnapping Africans and paying chiefs for slaves to use as porters in bringing ivory out of the Congo and to build a trail and later a railroad around the treacherous rapids at the lower end of the Congo River.
		When slaves were disobedient, they were beaten with an often lethal whip made from hippopotamus hide called a chicotte.
		The human rights situation in the Congo grew even worse when John Dunlop discovered the great utility of rubber in making inflatable tires for bicycles and later automobiles.
