In Kinshasa, Zaire (now the Democratic of the Congo), after the civil unrests in 1991 and 1993, I fed the guards who stayed overnight and the animal caretakers who came in to work. Here, Stani is cooking rice over charcoal in a "babula." We are in the yard in front of my apartment, where we grew crops to feed the bonobos. Behind Stani are bananas, papayas, and a variety of sweet potato called matembele that was grown for its leaves.Photo by D. Messinger
