	Interview With Professor Wamba Dia Wamba Re: The Congo
		Wamba: You know, Lumumba represented the first attempt, the first expression of the Congolese people, as a people—expressing how their needs can be attended to by eradicating colonial conditions and by diverting most of the resources to deal with their basic needs.
		Wamba: The turning point was when he self-proclaimed himself to be President before even getting to Kinshasa, not contacting even his own executive committee in the organization so that by the time he got to power, he just institutionalized the solitary exercise of power.
		Wamba: In respect to any peace movement we think that the US should help in terms of the funding that is required by the UN because that would consolidate the deployment which is needed with the Congolese need to sit and dialogue peacefully so that they can now arrive at a political dispensation.

	Wamba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wamba (died 687) was the king of the Visigoths in Hispania (Iberian Peninsula) from 672 to 680.
		Wamba was, according to one tradition, born in Egitânia, a modest village surrounded by Roman walls that is today called Idanha-a-Velha and located to the northeast of Castelo Branco in Portugal.
		Thus, when it began to grow, Wamba agreed to go with the soldiers to become the new king of the Visigoths, being elected and crowned in what is today the tiny village of Wamba in the region around Madrid.

	Philippe Wamba Obituary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Wamba drew about his life and those of many African expatriates was that being a citizen of two starkly different worlds could sometimes mean belonging to neither.
		Wamba's father, Ernest Wamba dia Wamba (his son used a shortened version of the family name), was born and raised in what was then the Belgian Congo.
		Wamba dia Wamba rose to the leadership of a rebel faction in Congo, providing yet another unlikely dimension to his son's life.

		Wamba sets out to make a case -- and a persuasive one -- that the two groups should forge "a meaningful and functional sense of unity" despite differences of geography, culture and history.
		The son of a fl American mother and a Congolese father, Wamba writes with the perception of a psychologist and the perspective of a historian.
		Wamba experienced this visceral connection when he met his father's mother, to whom the book is dedicated, for the first time in Zaire.

	Uganda In Eastern DRC - Political Confusion
		Apart from a broad non-militaristic philosophy voiced by Wamba and a rhetorical commitment to the peaceful resolution of the war in Congo, the goals of the movement in the national war and its position on the war's complex regional dimensions were far from clear.
		In May 1999 Wamba was evicted by some of his RCD colleagues in Goma and moved with several founding members and military cadres of the RCD to Kisangani, which at the time was jointly controlled by the Ugandan and the Rwandan armies.
		Wamba's opponents claimed that he had favored his Wacongo kinsmen in the selection process but Wamba replied that only 2 percent of the PPU were from his home region of Bas Congo.

	The Baldwin Project: Historical Tales: Spanish by Charles Morris
		It reached its golden age in the time of "Good King Wamba," a king of fancy as much as of fact, under whom Spain became a land of Arcady, everybody was happy, all things prospered, and the tide of evil events for a space ceased to flow.
		Leo is said to have told the electors to seek a husbandman named Wamba, whose lands lay somewhere in the west, asserting that he did this under direction of the heavenly powers.
		Fortunately for Ervigio, Wamba cared no more for the crown now than he had done at first, and when he came back to his senses he made little question of the base trick of his favorite, but cheerfully enough became a monk.

		Wamba enviÃ³ al noble Paulo para sofocarla pero se uniÃ³ a los rebeldes y proclamaron rey a Ilderico.

		Wamba also recalls how he was treated as a foreigner in Tanzania, the ambivalence his mother received from his paternal relatives, and the idealism that U.S. fls have of the continent, which at times has led to uncritical support of corrupt dictators like the former Zaire's Mobutu Sese Seko (who once imprisoned Wamba's activist father).
		Wamba's rich observation is enhanced by his knowledge of history and a humble way of looking at his personal experiences across continents.
		Wamba, for the most part, only focused on his and other Africans' negative experiences with African-Americans while barely touching on their positive encounters (which I'm sure there are many) outside of the impression African-American pop-culture has made on African youths.

		"Wamba is now out of the movement," declared Tibasima, who also said that in Lusaka this past Friday he had prevented Wamba from signing a declaration calling for all-party dialogue and signed it himself on behalf of the RCD.
		The split between Wamba and Tibasima as well as with Mbusa Nyamwisi, another RCD vice president, has been clear since January, when three rebel leaders agreed to merge with Jean Pierre Bemba's Congolese Liberation Movement (MLC) and form a new group, the Congolese Liberation Front (CLF).
		Wamba refused to join, but several members of his executive, including Mbusa and Tibasima, agreed to sign on to the new group.

	PH&G - Issue 32 - Wamba Wamba - Cover Story
		The Wamba Wamba hydroponic venture had its seeds in a 13 acre market garden, using conventional horticultural techniques to provide fresh, nutritious produce to the Aboriginal community, and for the Melbourne wholesale market.
		The vision to turn the Wamba Wamba Land Council around came from Aboriginal community leader and mother of three, Linda Fenton, who sees education as the cornerstone to the survival of her people.
		These bonds were symbolically demonstrated at the recent Wamba Wamba flag-raising ceremony, when a traditional Aboriginal man ran with a 'message stick' from the highway to the main gate of the Wamba Wamba Land Council.
