were, it was a time when we said:]<br />

"Perhaps this is the year when<br />

they come to kill me. I don't<br />

know." All the parent were saying:<br />

"I don't know about this year,<br />

will I be able to raise my<br />

children? Truly, the only thing we<br />

saw was that, on November 24,<br />

Mobutu took over.<br />

F: Mm-hmm.<br />

T: We had our doubts, every one <strong>of</strong><br />

us. "Oh well," it was said, "he is<br />

someone from the lower Congo, what<br />

do you expect? [claps] <strong>The</strong>re will<br />

be trouble." Others said: "Oh,<br />

perhaps..." But we did not know.<br />

F: Mm-hmm.<br />

T: <strong>The</strong> truth is, we soon saw that<br />

he knew how to take control <strong>of</strong><br />

things, as he does up to this day.<br />

F: Mm-hmm.<br />

T: We have peace and tranquility,<br />

we live well in our homes and when<br />

we travel -- I walk around with<br />

strength [no longer fearing] I<br />

will be chased away from this<br />

place.<br />

F: Mm-hmm.<br />

T: Yes. I don't worry that someone<br />

will shoot me with an arrow or<br />

another is going to chase me. Now<br />

you begin to walk with strength,<br />

telling yoursel<br />

F: "I live in my own country."<br />

F: Mm-hmm.<br />

T: Yes.<br />

F: [reading from painting] "Long<br />

live the three Z?"<br />

T: "Long live the three Z?" That<br />

stands for <strong>Zaire</strong>, the currency,<br />

<strong>Zaire</strong>, the river, <strong>Zaire</strong>, the<br />

country.<br />

F: Yes, mm-hmm. This is the first<br />

painting we bought.<br />

T: Ah, this one, that was day I<br />

met you.<br />
