Requirements: .PDF reader, 10.9 MB
Overview: "A graphic sketch of one of the most exciting and important episodes in the struggle for supremacy in Central Africa between the Arabs and their European rivals." -Times, 1897
While serving in the Congo, Sidney Langford Hinde was credited with aiding the overthrow of the infamous Arab slave trader Tippu Tip, and his successor, Sefu.
Belgian Commandant Baron Dhanis was for three years engaged in hunting down the pseudo-Arab slave-traders on the west of Lake Tanganyika and of Stanley Falls, of whom Tippu Tib was the foremost leader. Tippu and his followers had set up a tyranny, which was on many grounds reprehensible. Captain Sidney Langford Hinde (1863 - 1930) in his 1897 book "Fall of the Congo Arabs" details his experiences as one of Baron Dhanis's lieutenants.
Hinde's book deals with the Belgian Expedition to the Upper Congo, which developed into a war between the Belgian State forces and the Arab slave-raiders in Central Africa. Two white men only returned alive from the three years' war — Commandant Dhanis and the writer of this book, Captain Hinde.
During the greater part of the time spent by Captain Hinde in the Congo he was amongst cannibal races in little-known regions, and, owing to the peculiar circumstances of his position, was enabled to see a side of native history shown to few Europeans. The war terminated in the complete defeat of the Arabs, seventy thousand of whom perished during the struggle.
