Talk:Imbangala
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Land of Confusion
Hi, everybody. First I wanna say thnx to the folks who started this article and got it off the ground. I'm working on all things Kongo related (the kingdom not the modern states) and am trying to bring the same success to these pages as I was able to help bring about with the Mali Empire page. The Imbangala are an important part of Kongo's history and just a down right interesting topic. That being said, i've taken the liberty of starting some new pages and moving info around to clear the confusion surrounding this subject. If anyone's wondering why certain info might not be on this page anymore, it's probably cuz I moved it to one of the following...
- Kasanje...the Imbangala state set up
- Kasanze...the "Jaga" state east of Kongo composed of BaLunda warriors
- Jaga (king)...the title for the king of Kasanje
- Jaga (kingdom)...this link sends you to Kasanze
- Jaga (people)...a page dedicated to the pheonomenon of the Jagas including info on both BaLunda and Imbangala.
I just started these pages yesterday so they need some cleaning up as far as references and categories. It's a big job, but i'm hoping I can count on the good people here to lend a hand. Thnx in advance and I look foward to working with all of you. CHEERS :)Scott Free 15:18, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
