Rukwanzi

Rukwanzi ist eine kleine Insel im Albertsee in Afrika. Sie befindet sich am südlichen Ende des Sees nahe der Mündung des Semliki. Die etwa 1 km lange und 500 m breite Insel wird hauptsächlich von Fischern und ihren Familien bewohnt. Die territoriale Zugehörigkeit der kleinen Insel ist zwischen Uganda und der Demokratischen Republik Kongo umstritten. Die Grenze zwischen beiden Staaten wurde noch während der Kolonialzeit festgelegt und ist unklar bezüglich Rukwanzi. Seit der Entdeckung von Erdöl in der Region ab 2001 nahmen die Spannungen zwischen Uganda und der DR Kongo zu. 2007 eskalierte der Konflikt, als es nahe der Insel zu Kämpfen zwischen Truppen beider Staaten kam. Im August 2007 besetzte das kongolesische Militär Rukwanzi. Viele der ehemals etwa 3000 Bewohner verließen aufgrund der unsicheren Verhältnisse und einer Choleraepidemie die Insel. Der Grenzstreit ist weiterhin (Stand 25. April 2009) ungelöst. Einzelnachweise
Rukwanzi Island

Rukwanzi Island is a disputed island in the southern portion of Lake Albert in Central Africa. It is home to approximately 1000 fishermen. Ownership dispute Rukwanzi is the subject of an ownership dispute between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda, which are situated on opposite sides of the lake. In late July 2007, Congo apprehended four Ugandan soldiers it said had crossed the dividing line in the lake, and on August 3, 2007, the countries' militaries engaged in a skirmish near the island, with one Briton and one Congolese killed. On August 12, 2007, Congo occupied the area. Rukwanzi Island deputes led to an intervention meeting between President Yoweri Museveni and Kabila to try and resolve the border deputes. The island has minority settlers who are fishermen and attempts to relocate the main inhabitants have turned violent leading to clashes that claimed lives. It is home to about 3000 people measuring 12 Square Kilometers. See also Energy in Uganda References
Isla Rukwanzi

La Isla Rukwanzi​ (en francés: Ile de Rukwanzi; en inglés: Rukwanzi Island) es una isla de unos 3 kilómetros cuadrados,​ situada en la parte sur del lago Alberto, en África Central. Está habitado por unas 1 000 personas, la mayoría de las cuales vive de la pesca. Rukwanzi es objeto de una disputa territorial entre la República Democrática del Congo y Uganda, que están situados en lados opuestos del lago. A finales de julio, el Congo detuvo a cuatro soldados ugandeses, según dijo, porque habían cruzado la línea divisoria en el lago y el 3 de agosto de 2007, los ejércitos de los países se vieron involucrados en una escaramuza cerca de la isla, y un británico y un congoleño resultaron muertos en el curso del incidente. El 12 de agosto de 2007, la R.D del Congo ocupó la isla. Muchos de los antiguos 3 000 residentes de la isla abandonaron sus casas y se marcharon a tierra continental, debido a las condiciones inseguras y a una epidemia de cólera.​ Véase también Geografía de la República Democrática del Congo Geografía de Uganda Referencias

Centre d'Investigació Karisoke

El Centre d'Investigació Karisoke va ser originalment una estació d'investigació dels goril·les de muntanya a Ruanda. La primatòloga Dian Fossey va fundar el centre el 24 de setembre de 1967, a prop de la frontera amb la República Democràtica del Congo, a la zona dels volcans Virunga, entre el Karisimbi i Višje. El nom del centre de recerca resultà de la combinació dels noms d'aquestes dues muntanyes. En aquella època, Ruanda patia seriosos problemes, polítics i financers. Al principi, Karisoke només era un campament amb dues tendes. Més endavant, però, Fossey i els seus i les seves col·laboradores gradualment varen construir diverses cabanes, les quals, amb el temps, es van convertir en el campament base des del qual s'organitzen els seguiments diaris dels goril·les. A través de l'estudi intensiu i constant dels animals, l'estació es va guanyar una bona reputació internacional i va comptar amb la participació de personalitats científiques i estudiants de diversos països. Després de la mort de Fossey, que va ser assassinada el 1985, el campament original, va continuar funcionant durant un temps, però durant el genocidi de Ruanda es va acabar abandonant. Des d'aleshores, està clausurat, però tot i això, encara representa una atracció per a molts turistes, admiradors i admiradores de l'obra i de la vida de Fossey. En resposta a la mort cruel i innecessària del que, segurament, seria el seu goril·la més preuat Digit, Fossey va establir una fundació Digit Fons que va fer campanya activament per a la salvació dels primats en perill. Després de la mort de Fossey, la Digit Fons va passar a anomenar-se Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund Internacional el 1992. Aquesta nova fundació va restablir el Centre de Recerca Karisoke a la ciutat de Musanze (abans Ruhengeri).

Karisoke Research Center

The Karisoke Research Center is a research institute in Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park. It was founded by Dian Fossey on 24 September 1967 to study endangered mountain gorillas. Fossey located the camp in Rwanda's Virunga volcanic mountain range, between Mount Karisimbi and Mount Bisoke, and named it by combining the names of the two mountains. After Fossey's murder in December 1985, she was interred in the grounds of the institute. The camp subsequently continued to function under the auspices of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund. In 2022, the Karisoke Research Center moved to the Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund in Rwanda. At the time Fossey founded Karisoke, she feared that the mountain gorilla might become extinct by the end of the 20th century, as her mentor, Dr. Louis Leakey, had warned. A census published in 1981 found that the population had fallen to 242 individuals, from a 1960 estimate of 400–500. A census completed in 2016 showed 604 mountain gorillas known to inhabit the Virunga mountains, a significant increase. Karisoke survived Fossey's murder in 1985 as well as years of civil strife and also expanded tremendously over the past few decades. Due to intensive protection, the mountain gorillas of the Virungas are the only great ape species to have increased in number in recent decades. The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund and the Rwanda Development Board conduct extensive daily protection and monitoring of the mountain gorillas, numerous science and research projects, various education initiatives, and community health and development projects. Since its establishment in 1967, Karisoke has also continued scientific monitoring of the mountain gorillas and their habitat and attracts scientists and science students from around the world. The Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund was opened in 2022 as a permanent, specially designed facility for gorilla conservation. References 6. Fowler, John (2018).

Karisoke Research Center

Le Karisoke Research Center (« centre de recherche Karisoke ») est un institut de recherche dans le parc national des volcans du Rwanda. Il a été fondé par Dian Fossey le 24 septembre 1967 pour étudier les gorilles de montagne en voie de disparition. Histoire Après le meurtre de Dian Fossey en décembre 1985, c'est à l'institut qu'elle a été enterrée. Le lieu a continué ensuite à fonctionner sous les auspices du Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International. En 2012, Karisoke a transféré son siège vers une implantation plus moderne à Musanze. À l'époque où Dian Fossey a fondé Karisoke, elle craignait que les gorilles de montagne ne deviennent une espèce éteinte avant la fin du XXe siècle, comme son mentor, le Dr. Louis Leakey, en avait averti. Un recensement publié en 1981 avait constaté que la population de gorilles était tombée à 242 individus, contre une estimation de 400 à 500 individus en 1960. En 2010, quelque 480 gorilles de montagne sont dénombrés dans les montagnes de Virunga, constituant ainsi une progression très significative. Le centre de Karisoke a survécu au meurtre de Dian Fossey en 1985 ainsi qu'aux années de guerre civile, et s'est considérablement développé au cours des dernières décennies.

Schloss Dungu

Das Schloss Dungu war ein Schloss in Ober-Uelle in der Demokratischen Republik Kongo, das mittlerweile durch Verfall zu einer Schlossruine geworden ist. Geschichte Das Schloss Dungu liegt in der Stadt Dungu am Zusammenfluss des Kibali mit dem Dungu zum Uelle. Es wurde 1942 vom damaligen belgisch-kolonialen Territorial-Administrator von Dungu, Schollaert, als Wohn- und Verwaltungssitz erbaut. Die Anlage ist im amerikanisch interpretierten mittelalterlichen Stil gehalten. Dem Vernehmen nach soll das 40-Zimmer-Schloss aus öffentlichen Mitteln erbaut worden sein, die für eine Brücke an dieser Stelle vorgesehen waren. Da Schollaert neben dem Schloss auch noch die Brücke über den Kibali erstellte, wurde er nur versetzt und nicht wegen Veruntreuung öffentlicher Gelder entlassen. Seit der Unabhängigkeit des Kongos wird das Schloss nicht mehr unterhalten und verfällt langsam zur Ruine. Eine Renovation und Umwandlung in ein Hotel wurde schon zu Mobutus Zeiten angeregt, jedoch bis zum heutigen Tag nicht realisiert. Zu jener Zeit genügten die Möglichkeiten zur Gästeunterbringung im rund 75 km entfernten Garamba-Nationalpark und einem benachbarten Jagdgebiet nicht mehr aus.

Shinkolobwe

Shinkolobwe è una città mineraria nella provincia del Katanga, nella Repubblica Democratica del Congo, situata presso la città, più grande, di Likasi e circa 120 miglia a nord-ovest di Lubumbashi. Precedentemente era nota come Kasolo (da cui prende il nome il minerale locale, la kasolite). La miniera di Shinkolobwe La miniera era situata al centro di una fascia mineralizzata ad uranio, lunga 400 km, che si estende dal sud di Lumumbashi a Kalongwe, ad ovest di Kolwezi. La popolazione ammonta a circa 15 000 abitanti. Gli Stati Uniti utilizzarono l'uranio proveniente da Shinkolobwe per produrre la bomba atomica lanciata su Hiroshima. Edgar Sengier, l'allora direttore della Union Minière du Haut Katanga, a partire dal 1939 vendette all'America 1 200 tonnellate di minerale di uranio. La miniera fu ufficialmente chiusa il 28 gennaio 2004 per decreto presidenziale. Malgrado questo, vi furono 8 morti oltre a tredici feriti nel luglio 2004, quando crollò una parte della vecchia miniera. Benché la produzione industriale cessò quando gli accessi alla miniera vennero sigillati da colate di cemento, c'è tuttora l'evidenza di una estrazione a livello artigianale. Il giacimento uranifero Il giacimento uranifero di Shinkolobwe venne sfruttato per la grande ricchezza di uraninite (il minerale primario del giacimento), che si rinviene in croste e filoni o anche finemente diffuso nella ganga. Dove il riempimento delle diaclasi è parziale, l'uraninite forma frequentemente cristalli cubici. A Shinkolobwe e nei distretti vicini quali Luiswishi, Kalongwe, Kambove, Ruashi, Kamoto e Luishya, la trasformazione dell'uraninite ha prodotto numerosi minerali secondari d'alterazione, più o meno frequenti localmente, quali: Schoepite e Paraschoepite Becquerelite Billietite Sklodowskite Uranofane Cuprosklodowskite Kasolite Soddyite Curite Wölsendorfite Masuyite Torbernite e Metatorbernite Saléeite Renardite Parsonsite Ianthinite Rutherfordine Studtite Sharpite Vandenbrandeite Sengierite Carnotite Per i seguenti minerali costituisce la località tipo: Bijvoetite-(Y) Cattierite Comblainite Cousinite Dewindtite Dumontite Fourmarierite Lepersonnite-(Gd) Metasaléeite Metaschoepite Metastudtite Metavandendriesscheite Oursinite Piretite Protasite Richetite Roubaultite Sayrite Stilleite Urancalcarite Vandendriesscheite Wyartite Sono infine presenti altri minerali secondari non uraniferi: Wulfenite Ossidi neri (di cobalto, nickel e manganese) Garnierite Aragonite Quarzo Note Altri progetti Wikiquote contiene citazioni di o su Shinkolobwe Wikimedia Commons contiene immagini o altri file su Shinkolobwe Collegamenti esterni Fotografie, su amherst.edu.
