Abstract

Colonization has had a lasting impact on African life. This movement instilled a new culture within these colonies. Among these African countries is the Congo. On the whole, these countries have experienced some disputes near where it was a question of meeting around an international body which is none other than the Francophonie for the countries or states colonized by France. It is in this sense that under the leadership of three African Heads of State,Léopold Sédar Senghor from Senegal, Habib Bourguiba from Tunisia and Hamani Diori from Niger, and of Prince Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia, the representatives of 21 states and governments signed in Niamey, on March 20, 1970, the convention establishing the Agency for Cultural and Technical Cooperation (ACCT). New intergovernmental organization based on the sharing of a common language, French. The Congo being colonized by France adheres to the International Organization of Francophonie on December 7 to 9, 1981, during the general conference held in Libreville, Gabon. And the Congolese government has come to understand that ensuring a better vision on culture and politics can lead the Congo to sustainable development. Hence the need for the Congolese state to cooperate with the International Organization of Francophonie for better visibility for the cultural and political promotion of the country. This is what the subject of our study is: the contribution of the OIF in cultural and political matters in the Republic of Congo from 1981 to 2016.

Abstract

In Africa as everywhere else, African societies have known several forms of organization that can be found in Central Africa in the Kongo, Loango and Teke kingdoms. This form of organization is also found in the plateau department and more precisely in the region of Ngo where the Bantu and Tswa have lived since time immemorial. Benefiting from several privileges, gradually becoming lord of the land, although occupying space after the Tswa, the Bantu exert a far-reaching influence and domination over the tswa to the point of considering and transforming them as sub-men. The relations between these two peoples are generally to the advantage of the Bantu. In the region of Ngo, the twa and Teke knew a political, socio-cultural and economic organization which was at the base of their civilization. This study tries to show the influence of this multidimensional organization of these two groups which continue to coexist to this day, particularly from 1960 to 2013.
