	Kisangani - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kisangani, formerly Stanleyville, (population 500,000) is a city in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Central Africa.
		In late 1964 Simba rebels seized the city of Stanleyville, during the Congo Crisis, and took over 1600 European hostages.
		After 111 days of negotiating, Operation Dragon Rouge was launched by the United States, Belgium, and a mercenary force called "L'Ommengang" under the command of Colonel Frederic Vandewalle to free the hostages.

		On the assumption that it would be at least 48 hours after the assault on Stanleyville before the Belgian paratroopers could be ready to undertake additional operations, the execution of such operations would be contingent on the arrival of Congolese Army forces in Stanleyville during those two days.
		The seizure of Bunia, approximately 400 miles east of Stanleyville, was to be considered next because many hostages, including women and children, were reported to be held at Mongwalu just north of Bunia.
		The one C-130E, holding at Stanleyville with the reserve platoon on call, would not be released until the Belgian paratroop battalion commander was assured that one company could hold the objective area.

		It was in Stanleyville that Lumumba began his political career, and according to Crawford Young, he had become “president or secretary of no less than seven associations in Stanleyville in 1953” (295).
		Lumumba’s involvement in these organizations also had a strong impact, he increased membership in the Association des Evolués de Stanleyville from 162 to over 1,000 members in four years, and was “regarded as the most eminent spokesman of Liberal ideas” by 1959 (Lemarchand 202).
		Lumumba was put under house arrest in the Prime Minister’s Residence in Leopoldville, surrounded by UN troops to protect him from arrest, and Congolese troops to prevent escape.

	Could an ancient sample of HIV-1 be faked?
		Back in the fifties, several of the Stanleyville doctors suspected that the chimps had also been weakened by an underlying viral infection, so one now has to consider the possibility that both the Klebsiella organism and chimpanzee SIV could have been acquired from chimpanzees via the vaccine or "biomedical product".
		The strange tale of the ancient Stanleyville samples means that the opportunity for falsification exists, and the sad truth is that someone just might be desperate enough to try it.
		Given the past history, the ugly possibility that a 1957 or 1958 sample from Stanleyville might be passed off as a sample from before the OPV trials must be borne in mind.
