		Kasai, mostly Luba, ethnic "particularism" was perceived as one of the major threats to the political cohesion of Zairian society.
		In short, this region, which was a granary for the capital, softened its demand for purely political rewards and benefits.
		As in Kasai, Kivu, and "Katanga," calls for autonomy are gaining strength and momentum, although the Congolese realize perfectly well that their future cannot be disassociated from Kinshasa, which remains the immediate hinterland.

	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).
		During the initial investigation of this cluster of human cases, specimens of serum and/or crusted scab or fluid from vesicles were collected from 11 patients, and monkeypox virus infection was confirmed in all 11 patients by the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Center for Smallpox and Other Poxvirus Infections at CDC.
		This outbreak was unrecognized until the end of July 1996, when an abrupt increase in the number of cases prompted a preliminary investigation by public health officials in Zaire (1).

		Also, the constant rotation of both civilian and military heads of regional and subregional units prevented anyone from building an ethnic following in his or her home region.
		Education is perceived as the key to social mobility, and the government's establishment of a regional quota system for university admissions (allotting set numbers of entry places by region) has effectively disadvantaged secondary students graduating from regions with numerous schools, such as Bandundu or Bas-Zaïre, relative to those with fewer schools, notably Équateur and Haut-Zaïre.
		Students from regions rich in schools have long been angered by the fact that lesser-qualified graduates are occupying university seats solely because they come from the north.

	Medals of South Kasai (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		On 8 August 1960, motivated partly by long-standing tribal rivalries, Luba Chief Albert Kalonji (1919 -) proclaimed the independence of the diamond-rich region of South Kasai as the Autonomous State of South Kasai, with its capital at Bakwanga.
		After a bloody four-month military campaign during which thousands of civilians were massacred, troops of the Congolese central government re-conquered the region and arrested Kalonji on 30 December 1961.
		Under the subsequent thirty two-year regime of Joseph Mobuto (Mobuto Sese Seko) the former South Kasai was divided into east and west provinces, in part to discourage any resurgence of separatist sentiment or activity.

		At present, a new generation of instruments toward the higher frequency measurements, submm wave and THz region is emerging in response to the increased demands imposed by near-future sensing technology to fulfill increased accuracy and precision.
		In general, detection sensitivity can be higher in submm wave region due to the stronger line intensity than that in the millimeter region, making submm wave observation more advantageous in identifying molecular species in the Earth's atmosphere.
		This second topic includes the measurements of the foreign continuum from the millimeter to far-infrared regions, its simulation based on the recent models, the observations from space to derive Upper Tropospheric Humidity (UTH), and the parameterisation of the foreign continuum on the basis of the theory of the molecular collision complex in the atmosphere.

		Apart from the transport, the operation included resettlement in the Kasai region, where the displaced people are having to learn new trades and to lead very different lives from what they were accustomed to previously.
		Ethnic and regional violence and the attitude of the authorities towards it are particularly serious.

		In 1972, Mobutu's Popular Movement of the Revolution (MPR), the country's sole political party, was merged with the state; and in 1974, as the regime became increasingly personalist, the MPR adopted "Mobutuism" as its official ideology.

		The collection of taxes is a well-known way of "developing" colonized areas through monetarization, and the Free State now began to use an extreme strategy: in the Northern Kasaï region taxes were collected in the form of copper crosses, a kind of valuable stemming from the present Shaba region in southern Zaïre.
		The capitalist ideology of development, and its closely related ethnocentrism, were two important factors behind what happened in the Northern Kasaï region during the first years of our century, primarily as these modes of thought influenced the forms which the economical factors, in themselves more determinant, took.
