Democratic Republic of Congo event

A great opportunity to learn about this part of Africa from somewhere else besides the US press!

Understanding Our World:
The War in the RDC


Rosie Musauet and Leontine Mwanga grew up in the République Démocratique du Congo, which is the 4th most populous country in Africa and the most populous country in the world where French is spoken. Rosie was a hospital administrator and RDC Leontine was a parliamentary member in an earlier administration in that country. Leontine is currently the president of the group, les Femmes Congolaises in Portland. The two women will present on Friday, April 2, 5:00-6:15 p.m. at the Alliance Française, on the history of their country and the ravages of 13 years of war. This presentation will be in French and is free; reservations are required so that we know how many people to expect.
