looking to connect to people who know more about DR Congo
My name is Mangongo Monga Akambu born in Yambuku, Bumba D R of Congo. My concern is to meet people who knows more about African history or if you know some people who did missionary to Congo. Even if they are not member of the church, but they have some good story , we can chat.
Je sais que beaucoup ont ete au Congo/Zaire et ils ont des chose a partager.

Not many people are aware of the existence of Yambuku, or Bumba, and even fewer do know that it was the locality of the first recognised Ebola outbreak , by Peter Piot and Guido Van Der Groen.Both are still alive,and Piot wrote a great many books,that are very interesting towards Yambuku or Bumba. The congregation that served Yambuku in religious affairs were=> "De Paters Van Scheut" or "Scheutisten" from Aalst.They do still exist today altough not many are left ,i think about 200 or so , in Belgium;...they do have a see in the Vatican, and i think the 'Generalaat' still funtions and had the complete archive of the Fraters,only availiable after approval.
Guido has a website about Yambuku. You will find the Fraters on WIkipedia along with the link to the Generalaat.
