	Katanga Province - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Katanga is the southern province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, regional capital Lubumbashi (formerly Elizabethville in French, Elisabethstad in Dutch).
		The Luba people often interfered with their mining operations in the province, and many were killed in raids on mining operations.
		In January 1961 northern Katanga was invaded by the Congolese government, and in response the UN sent in 'peacekeeping' forces, authorised in February 1961 by the Security Council to use force in self-defence.

	Luba people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Luba were also threatened by pressure from the Nyamwezi, a tribe from what is now Tanzania, moving around Lake Tanganyika, and by Swahili-Arabs, moving inland from the East African coast.
		The Luba were not conquered, but the Swahili-Arabs were able to cut their access to trade with the jungle tribes to the north, while Nyamwezi, under the leadership of the energetic Msiri, encroached on Luba trade to the south.
		The Luba resisted, most notably in a major rebellion in 1895, after which many Luba were sent to work as forced labor in the copper mines of Katanga (now Shaba Province in the southern Democratic Republic of the Congo).

		The Lunda occupy the Shaba/Katanga region in the southeast of the DRC (GROUPCON = 3).
		The people of Katanga have wanted a degree of autonomy because their region produces most of the wealth of Zaire and they feel the centralized government does not do an adequate job of exploiting the natural resources of the region or of using the wealth for the people of the region.
		Karl-i-Bond was appointed prime minister and Kyungu the governor of Katanga.

	EJAB 9: Preface
		The name Luba applies to a variety of groups who, though of different origins, share closely related languages, exhibit many common cultural traits, and share a common political history founded on the origins and disintegration of the Luba empires.
		Three main subdivisions may be recognized: the Luba-Shankaji of Katanga, the Luba-Bambo of Kasai, and the Luba-Hemba of northern Katanga and southern Kivu.
		The constant warring between the Luba and Bena Lulua peoples was partly responsible for the secession in 1960 of the Baluba-dominated Mining State of South Kasai, headed by Albert Kalonji, who proclaimed himself “Mulopwe” of South Kasai.

		At present, the Lunda/Yeke of the DRC’s Katanga region have been negatively-affected by the ongoing violence, yet the region exists west of the worst conflict to warrant cautious optimism that the Lunda may remain isolated from its nastiest effects.
		However, it is difficult to predict the future of the Lunda given the volatile nature of war, what would occur if Angolan troops (largely their patrons) pulled out, or what the lingering consequences of Lunda-Luba hostilities of the early 1990s would mean for a post-war DRC.
		The economic dimension is critical in the region as well as the people of Katanga have wanted a degree of autonomy largely because their region produces most of the wealth of Zaire, and yet its wealth is not translated into local prosperity (ECDIS00 = 2).

		The major challenges posed to the MNC in its early years were the rise of ethno-nationalism and the threat of regional separatism in Katanga.
		Describing themselves as "authentic Katangese," Conakat supporters were essentially drawn from the Lunda and Yeke peoples of southern Katanga, that is, from those elements who were most resentful of the presence of Luba immigrants from Kasai, many of whom found employment in the mining centers.
		Their political aloofness was in large part motivated by the rift in Kasai between the MNC-Lumumba and the MNC-Kalonji, identified, respectively, with Lulua and Luba elements in the Kasaian arena.

		LUBUMBASHI, 17 Feb 2006 (IRIN) - Human rights groups warn that ethnic tension is rising in Katanga province in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), in part because the ruling party of President Joseph Kabila is attempting to take control of politically and economically important cultural associations in the province, ahead of national elections.
		Cultural associations in Katanga are supposed to exist solely to foster the music, dance and other cultural activities of the various ethnic groups they represent.
		Richard Muyej Mangeze Mans, the head of PPRD Katanga, said there is nothing wrong with his party's strategy.

	Kabila Returns, in a Cloud of Uncertainty.
		The Luba are known as "the whites of the Congo" or "the Jews of the Congo." When Congolese say that one of their number is like a white man, they imply selfishness.
		Resettling outside their homeland, the Luba progressively became the leading "cultural brokers" first in the Kasai, then in Katanga, then throughout the Congo, with the exception of the Lower Congo area.
		Kabila is a Luba from northern Katanga; Luba-Katanga speak a rather different language from the Luba-Kasai and are regarded as belonging to a related group rather than the same group.

		But in the end, Lumumba was right and Hammarskjöld wrong — it was impossible to end Katanga secession diplomatically and it took a military campaign by ONUC with strong backing from the Kennedy administration to end this chapter in the Congo’s history.
		They were the ones who attempted to overthrow Mobutu in 1977 and 1978 by invading Katanga from their Angolan bases only to find that Mobutu was rescued by the military intervention of some of his African and European and American supporters.
		The expulsion of the Luba from Katanga, though manipulated by a Mobutist governor, found a receptive audience among the Lubumbashi population.

		The Lubumbashi results are interesting because Kabila is generally regarded as part of the greater northern Katanga Luba community and Lubumbashi is in the south where the traditional competitors — if not enemies — of the Luba, the Lunda, predominate.
		These were, in the main, the remainder or the sons of the Katanga Gendarmes who had fled to Angola after the Katanga attempted secession was defeated by a U.S. backed UN military operation in 1962.
		Among these newcomers were Katanga Luba from the north, as well as some former members of the Mulele led rebellion in Bandundu province (1963–67).

		He claims on Jan. 17, 1961, Lumumba, under arrest by Mobutu's forces, was transferred by plane to the Katanga region, where he was assaulted in the presence of Belgian officers and then tortured in a villa guarded by Belgian troops, before being shot by an execution squad supervised by a Belgian captain.
		Her account of Lumumba's death suggests it was on the flight to Katanga that Luba soldiers (from the Kasai region) brutally assaulted Lumumba; the crew of the Sabena plane, shocked at the violence of the beating, supposedly locked themselves in the cockpit.
		The Luba soldiers did this as revenge for a massacre of their tribe perpetrated by the Congolese army the previous year.

		The art of the Luba people has been the subject of several monographic exhibitions and publications and is one of the best-studied artistic traditions of the Congo.
		However, current literature on the Luba and their art largely ignores the valuable work of Servaas Peeraer, a Belgian Franciscan missionary, who lived among the southern Luba in western Katanga province from 1929 to 1940.
		Not only did Father Peeraer leave highly interesting writings, all of which are based on firsthand observations, he also field-collected a number of Luba art objects.

		The Gendarmes Katangaise is an anti-Mobutu rebel group, which has been based in Angola since the 1960s.
		The initial group was composed of gendarmes (police) from the Katanga (Shaba) region, who fought with Tshombe in the 1960 secessionist wars.

	Hugh Tracey recordings: part 2 / RootsWorld Recording Review
		On visits to the southern Belgian Congo in 1952 and again in 1957, Tracey recorded music of the Kanyok and their neighbors, the Luba.
		These recordings are characterized as mostly music of the urbanizing Katanga mine culture "where peoples lived together who did not normally do so." The liner notes recount the arrival, in 1891, of the Belgian expedition which led to European destruction of the ancient regional kingdoms.
		The 23 tracks on this collection present music using instruments from what is termed the "greater Luba-Lunda-Tshokwe musical zone of southern Congo, northeastern Angola and northern Zambia." It includes various types of the ditumba (goblet-shaped drum), the kyondo (cylindrical log-drum), alternative set-ups on mabimba (wooden xylophone), and mishiba (panpipes).

		In 1992 and 1993, UNIFEC's current president, Antoine Gabriel Kyungu wa Kumwanza, incited supporters to massacre as many as 5,000 Kasaians living in Katanga and forcibly return another 1.35 million, according to reports issued by the Untied Nations and various human rights groups.
