 Human Monkeypox -- Kasai Oriental, Zaire, 1996-1997
Monkeypox is an orthopoxvirus with enzootic circulation in rainforests of central and western Africa; the virus can be transmitted to humans and cause a syndrome clinically similar to smallpox (e.g., pustular rash, fever, respiratory symptoms, and in some cases, death).
From February through August 1996, a total of 71 clinical cases of monkeypox, including six deaths, occurred in 13 villages in Africa in the Katako-Kombe health zone (1996 combined population: 15,698), Sankuru subregion, Kasai Oriental, Zaire (Figure_1) (1).
The number of human monkeypox cases associated with the epidemic described in this report exceeded the total of 37 sporadic cases previously detected in the Sankuru subregion, Kasai Oriental region, by active surveillance activities during 1981-1986 (2).

MIBA produced approximately 9 Mct in 2000, although these figures are expected to fluctuate due political tension in the Kasai region.
The majority of permits lie within a 'kimberlite emplacement corridor', underlain by Archean basement granite-gneiss of the Congo Craton, which extends from the DRC southwest into the renowned diamond producing Lunda Norte Province in neighboring Angola.

In 1992-93 several hundred thousand Luba-Kasai residing in Shaba (many whose families had been there for three to four generations) were forced from their homes and businesses.
Most sought refuge in and around train stations (many literally living on station platforms), awaiting transport to the Kasai area.
Because of their lack of funds and the unreliability of the country's dilapidated rail system, many never made it out of Shaba, and in mid-1993 there were reported to be 100,000 refugees trying to leave the region.

Classée parmi l’un des grands producteurs mondiaux du diamant industriel, le Kasai oriental n’a jamais profité de ces ressources naturelles depuis le régime du maréchal Mobutu.
Face à la cette situation politique, les Kasaiens du Kasaï Occidental et Oriental se sentent écartés de la gestion du pouvoir alors que les deux provinces contribuent au budget de l’Etat sans qu’ils tirent bénéfice pendant que la Gécamines qui était le poumon économique de la Rdc est en faillite.
