[Book] Belgian Milatary Forces in the Congo Volume 1: The Force Publique, 1885-1960


https://www.aviationmegastore.com/?action=prodinfo&parent_id=&art=185427


Belgian Miliatary Forces in the Congo Volume 1: The Force Publique, 1885-1960
Though the dynamics of the Congo Crisis have received, and continue to receive, a good deal of literary and scholarly attention, missing from the canon of work on military forces in the Congo is a study of the Force Publique, a paramilitary police force established by King Léopold II to secure the Congo Free State and to protect a vast geographical swathe of Central Africa that had become his own personal possession following the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885. In many ways, the absence of any study on the origins of the Force Publique to its dissolution in 1960 means that our knowledge surrounding the history of the Belgian Congo and the modern-day Democratic Republic of the Congo is incomplete. Indeed, it is possible to trace the origins of rebellion in the Congo Crisis (1960-1967) back to the Batetela Rebellions that took place in the Congo Free State in the 1890s and early 1900s, and to link them with a succession of anti-Belgian popular uprisings that took place in the Congo up to the time of the Congo's independence. Moreover, a revolt by NCOs of the Force Publique was one of the sparks that plunged the Congo into crisis in early July 1960.

[Pierre Jarrige] Aviateurs belges en Afrique

Beaucoup d'entre nous connaissent certainement déjà Pierre Jarrige qui publie depuis des années des articles fort intéressants sur l'aviation en Algérie. 

Les aviateurs belges depuis Jan Olieslagers ont eu des liens avec ce pays. Pierre nous offre un étude fort bien documentée avec des photos souvent méconnues sur ces liens.

Il y a quelques semaines, il a également publié une étude sur Air Afrique, compagnie civile qui a eu des liens avec Sabena.

Il nous a donné l'autorisation de partager avec vous ses deux études.

N'hésitez pas à vous abonner aux articles de Pierre et à visiter son site en
