In a follow-up post, series writer Joshua Dysart said they wanted to find a fill-in artist from Africa, where the story takes place, for series regular Alberto Ponticelli. "But locating the perfect person for the job was no easy task," Dysart writes. "A lack of exposure to artists from that region of the world and the extremely jarring, culturally specific art styles of those we did find made the search difficult to say the least. But eventually we did discover our man – Pat Masioni, from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). He’s from a little further west than where our book occurs, but once you hear Pat’s story, in his own words, you’ll understand why he was the best choice for this mini-arc." Graphic Content also reprints an introduction by the fill-in artist, which will run in issue 13. You can check it out at the second link.

MBA-Congo December 18th, 2009, 07:40 AM Sandrine Ngalula is a Congolese engineer from Congo-Kinshasa. She works and lives in Ohio (USA) where she graduated in Electrical Engineering. She is particularly gifted and has succeeded to transform an electric car prototype into a hybrid car by integrating a fuel cell. A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that converts hydrogen into electricity. The car's main fuel becomes hydrogen which releases only water as waste. The idea of developing a car that runs on hydrogen is not new. But it may be that Sandrine Ngalula Mubenga has found the solution because, in addition to making the car hybrid, she has conceived a hydrogen station (as opposed to petrol stations). The hydrogen station she has developed is solar-powered. Its working principle is simple: splitting water (H2O) into hydrogen and oxygen and collecting the hydrogen in tanks (reservoirs). An American car manufacturer is considering marketing the hybrid system developed by Sandrine Ngalula. Before Sandrine Ngalula made the prototype a hybrid car, the car's maximum speed was 42 mph (miles per hour) or 67 km/h. With the hybrid system, the prototype reached a speed of 119 mph (191 km/h). Another feature of this car is that it is silent. Proof of the importance of the work of the Congolese lady: the visit of Ohio's Senator, Mr. Voinovich, who met and saw the results of her work. She also wants to use her genius to serve her country. As a result, she has started developing a plan to electrify villages in Congo-Kinshasa. This plan is primarily designed around solar technology. Congo-Kinshasa has a solar energy potential of about 5 kWh / m² / day. In other words, the sun provides 5 kW of energy on 1 m², or the power required to power about 2 houses. Now, Congo-Kinshasa has an area of 2.3 million sq. km², which should facilitate Sandrine Ngalula's noble ambition if political authorities in her home country pay attention to her work. Sandrine Ngalula is currently working for Orbital Technical Solutions that specializes in the construction of power plants. She shows to all women that they can also contribute to industrial development in Africa. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1tPPOAZ1KPI/Sqd6fMitnGI/AAAAAAAACDE/izTnCi4vyGc/s320/sandrine_mubenga_diplome.jpg http://www.congovision.com/images2/sandrine_mubenga_labo2.jpg http://medias.lepost.fr/ill/2009/09/28/h-20-1716119-1254143433.jpg benj_bewa December 20th, 2009, 11:06 AM Sandrine Ngalula is a Congolese engineer from Congo-Kinshasa.

BUTEMBO21 December 20th, 2009, 09:08 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Citizen (Dar es Salaam) Congo-Kinshasa: Refugee Wins Sh200 Million Peace Prize . Vicent Mnyanyika 9 December 2009 A young Congolese refugee, Baruani Ndume, 16, resident at a reguees camp in Kigoma Region, has scooped a Sh200 million (euro100,000) international peace prize for producing a radio programme for refugee children in Kigoma. The prize organised by a Dutch foundation, KidsRights, is awarded annually to a child 'whose courageous acts made a difference in countering problems that affect children around the world.' In a statement sent to newsrooms by the organisation's associate external relations officer Ms Eveline Wolfcarius, said the programme has helped parents in the DRC trace children they were separated from. Ms Wolfcarius said the radio progamme mostly focuses on education for children facing difficulties and acts as a family reunification mode. Ndume who is the programme coordinator for "Children for Children" show at the Lugufu refugee camp, has been championing the rights of other childrens living in difficult conditions. The prize was handed over to him by the Kenyan Nobel Peace laureate, Prof Wangari Maathai, during an event organised in the Hague, before the Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende and UNHCR regional representative for Western Europe, Mr Wilbert van Hövell. Ndume said "boys and girls with similar stories like his could not easily express themselves and thus keep their pain inside. Our radio programme makes them feel less alone." Ndume was born in the DRC's south Kivu province. His father died when he was four, while his mother and younger brother were murdered when conflict erupted in the country in 1998. A villager took Ndume across Lake Tanganyika to Tanzania. At Lugufu, he received assistance from UNHCR and other agencies. Ndume said he was approached the World Vision which was running a radio programme dubbed 'Child Voices Out' where he was selected to be the youngest journalist for the programme. The programme is aired every Sunday, said Ndume. MBA-Congo December 21st, 2009, 07:51 AM Simba tipped to roar loudest in the local heavyweight division Bongani Magasela 21 December 2009 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- a gem : Heavyweight fighter Flo Simba RETIRED two-time World champion and International Hall of Fame inductee Brian Mitchell has predicted that Flo Simba will be the greatest heavyweight champion ever in South Africa. But Simba, 20, from the Democratic Republic of Congo, who has lived here for 19 years, is still wet behind the ears. This country had great heavyweight fighters like Gerrie Coetzee, Piere Coetzer, Jimmy Abbot, Robbie Williams, Johnny du Plooy, Bennie and Kalie Knoetze, Howard Mpepesi, James Mathatho, Fraser Memela and Siza Makhathini to mention just a few. Others, like Coetzee and Corrie Sanders, became world champions while some only won provincial, international and national titles. Current champion Osborne Machimana has not fought since November 18 last year because there are no challengers. Boxing analyst Terry Pettifer said he found it “highly illuminating” to hear Mitchell’s proclamation. “Mitchell is not known for his flattery. And as a renowned former international boxer he has certainly seen enough fighters to know the difference between an average pugilist and a glittering find,” Pettifer said. Simba turned 20 on October 31, the day he made his professional debut. In that fight, Simba, guided to war by veteran trainer Harold Volbrecht, blasted Bernard Vance in the first round. Simba did the same to Thato Tholano last month. Simba is managed by Mitchell and fights under the banner of Golden Gloves. Mitchell said: “Simba had half-a-dozen amateur bouts before turning professional. His rate of growth both in stature and physical proportion has been astounding. “Eighteen months ago, he was looking at becoming a basketball player. “Then he wandered into Aubrey Lovett’s amateur boxing gymnasium – and his life took a 180-degree turn. “In my book, this kid has all the necessary attributes to go right to the top.” MBA-Congo January 2nd, 2010, 12:05 AM Fassi Kafyeke Responsable de la conception aérodynamique chez Bombardier, cet ingénieur congolais installé à Montréal a participé à la création de plus d’un millier d’avions. « Quand vous regardez un avion, vous voyez un engin qui avance dans le ciel. Moi, je vois l’air qui s’écoule autour de l’appareil. » L’année dernière, à bord du Bombardier Q400 qui le ramenait du Canada, son pays d’adoption, vers la RD Congo, sa terre natale, Fassi Kafyeke n’était pas un passager comme les autres. Patron du service recherche et développement de l’avionneur canadien, c’est en effet lui qui a conçu l’appareil dans lequel nous avions pris place ! Svelte, le directeur des technologies stratégiques de Bombardier Aéronautique ne fait pas ses 53 ans. Et son regard trahit une cogitation incessante. Le vol s’est-il bien déroulé ? Il avoue avoir passé son temps à regarder par le hublot… Par le hublot ? Peut-être pour apercevoir, tout en bas, le village de Moba, sur le lac Tanganyika, où il est né, le 30 décembre 1956, d’un père juge et d’une mère enseignante. Ou pour contempler Bukavu, Kinshasa ou Lubumbashi, où il résida avec ses trois frères et sœurs, au gré des mutations de son père. Ou encore – plus difficile ! –, pour tenter de repérer le ministère de l’Éducation, qui, il y a plus de trente ans, lui accorda le droit d’étudier l’aéro dynamique en Belgique. Ou, tout simplement, pour scruter l’air s’écoulant autour de la carlingue et faire son métier : calculer, inventer, imaginer les avions et les défis techniques de demain. Passionné d’aéronautique, Fassi Kafyeke en parle avec les mains, tandis que ses joues s’empourprent discrètement. « Au lycée, mon professeur de maths avait coutume de nous lire des lettres d’anciens élèves. L’un d’eux était parti travailler en Californie, chez le constructeur aéronautique McDonnell Douglas. J’avais toujours rêvé de piloter un avion, mais ce jour-là j’ai compris qu’on pouvait aussi travailler à le construire. Je n’y avais jamais songé. » Par la suite, il n’a plus pensé qu’à ça. Il n’existe pas, au Congo, de filière d’études supérieures en aéronautique. Alors, à Lubumbashi, le fort en maths entreprend des études d’ingénieur… en métallurgie : « Je n’avais pas le choix, l’industrie minière prédomine là-bas. » Parallèlement, il demande une bourse d’études à Liège, en Belgique, dans l’espoir de suivre les traces de ses deux frères, partis avant lui étudier en Europe. Un matin, au petit déjeuner, le téléphone sonne. « Cette année-là [1976], trente-sept dossiers furent retenus. Le mien était le trente-septième, le moins bon », se souvient-il, dans un grand sourire. À l’entendre évoquer si simplement son parcours d’étudiant pourtant brillant, on oublierait presque que Fassi Kafyeke figure en très bonne place dans la hiérarchie de son entreprise. N’étaient son costume bien taillé, ses manières de diplomate et la présence à ses côtés de son assistante, on se laisserait presque abuser par la spontanéité du personnage. « Il n’a pas la nervosité des gens de son niveau. Plutôt la sérénité de ceux qui agissent selon leurs convictions et du mieux qu’ils peuvent », confirme Éric Laurendeau, l’un de ses collègues. Il se considère comme « très chanceux » et tire volontiers son chapeau à ses professeurs, qui, à l’en croire, l’ont poussé à aller plus loin qu’il ne l’avait imaginé : « En 1980, diplôme d’ingénieur civil en aérospatiale en poche, j’étais prêt à rentrer au Congo pour y travailler », dit-il. Un entretien au siège d’Air Zaïre s’était révélé prometteur. « Mais un professeur m’a parlé d’une maîtrise d’ingénierie du transport aérien en Grande -Bretagne. » C’est là qu’il va améliorer ses connaissances en aérodynamique numérique. Et passer l’entretien de sa vie. « Une équipe de Canadair-Bombardier visitait le campus pour recruter des ingénieurs. À l’époque, les Canadiens préféraient immigrer aux États-Unis. Une fois encore, c’est un prof qui m’a conseillé de passer l’entretien. » Quelque temps plus tard, Bombardier lui fait une offre. L’occasion est trop belle, plus question de retour en RD Congo. « L’Amérique, tout le monde en parlait. Et moi, j’allais y faire le métier de mes rêves. Le Canada m’a donné tout ce qu’un immigrant demande. Ici, pas d’a priori, on juge sur les compétences. Ma carrière n’aurait pas été si facile en Europe. » Ces dernières années, Fassi Kafyeke n’est pas souvent retourné en RD Congo, « à cause de la guerre ». Mais de l’Afrique, il a toujours gardé « l’empathie et le sens de la famille ». Précis, logique, sûr de lui mais jamais hautain, le Congolais égrène ses souvenirs. Il atterrit à Montréal un samedi. Le lundi, il est au travail. « Deux semaines plus tard, c’était la fermeture pour les congés d’été. Mais moi, j’étais arrivé avec une petite valise et 100 balles en poche ! J’ai demandé une avance à la direction. » Il va passer les vingt-sept années suivantes à imaginer les fuselages, les ailes et les empennages d’une douzaine de modèles. Tout en transmettant son savoir à l’École polytechnique de Montréal. Ses collègues lui reconnaissent une force de travail et une mémoire hors du commun. Sans parler d’un savoir-faire technique acquis au prix d’innombrables heures d’essais en soufflerie… Son ascension dans l’entreprise n’a pourtant pas été fulgurante. Ingénieur, puis ingénieur principal, puis chef de section, puis responsable de service… « Je n’aime pas le risque, avoue-t-il. Je passe beaucoup de temps à contrôler, à prendre des assurances, à imaginer des implications. Je ne bouge pas vite, mais quand j’ai pris une décision, j’agis avec détermination. » Fassi Kafyeke est un peu du genre pieds sur terre et tête en l’air. Planant entre les chiffres et les idées. Les mauvaises langues jurent d’ailleurs, en riant, qu’elles redoutent de monter en voiture avec lui. Trop distrait, ce garçon ! « Avec le temps, on apprend à communiquer, à admettre qu’on n’est pas le seul à avoir de bonnes idées et à écouter davantage », dit-il. Longtemps, la vie de Fassi Kafyeke s’est déroulée entre les quatre murs de son bureau. Sa seconde vie, c’est aujourd’hui ses « quatre autres boss », comme il les appelle : sa femme et ses trois filles. Le week-end, il lâche les avions pour devenir chauffeur de taxi, entre cours de patinage et leçon de danse. « La plus jeune, qui a 8 ans, commence à dévisser des boulons, j’ai bon espoir ! » s’amuse-t-il. Pour ses filles, il n’a qu’un conseil : « Faire ce que l’on aime, être le meilleur, chercher à contribuer et non à profiter. » Le reste du temps, ce cérébral très doué pour les dates adore lire des romans historiques et des récits antiques. « On doit tirer des leçons du passé. C’est mon côté africain, ça, de toujours me demander : pourquoi une civilisation marche mieux qu’une autre ? Le Congo est riche mais ne décolle pas. Question de caractère de la nation, qui ne s’est défini aucun but et n’a pas trouvé de consensus. Mais bientôt, l’Afrique se réveillera… » Alors ? Alors, Fassi Kafyeke donnera des ailes à ses rêves. BUTEMBO21 January 2nd, 2010, 12:51 AM Fassi Kafyeke Responsible for the aerodynamic design for Bombardier, the Congolese engineer based in Montreal participated in the creation of over a thousand planes. "When you watch a plane, you see a vehicle moving through the sky. I see the air flowing around the device. "Last year, aboard the Bombardier Q400, which brought him from Canada, his adopted country, to the DR Congo, his homeland, Fassi Kafyeke was not a passenger as the others. Patron of the research and development department of the Canadian aircraft manufacturer, it was he who designed the device that we had taken place! Slender, director of strategic technologies at Bombardier Aerospace is not its 53 years. And his eyes betrayed a continual cogitation. The flight it smoothly? He admits he spent his time looking out the window ... By the window? Perhaps to see, far below the town of Moba on Lake Tanganyika, where he was born December 30, 1956, a judge father and mother a teacher. Or look for Bukavu, Lubumbashi and Kinshasa, where he lived with his three brothers and sisters, according to the change of his father. Or - more difficult! - To try to locate the Department of Education that there are more than thirty years, granted him the right to study the aero dynamics in Belgium. Or, simply scan the air flowing around the cabin and do his job: to calculate, invent, imagine the aircraft and the technical challenges of tomorrow. Passion for aviation, Fassi Kafyeke speaks with his hands, while her cheeks crimson discreetly. "At school, my math teacher was wont to read letters from former students. One of them had gone to work in California, with the aircraft manufacturer McDonnell Douglas. I had always dreamed of flying a plane, but that day I realized it could also work to build it. I never dreamed. "Subsequently, he no longer thought of nothing else. No, Congo, sectoral graduate in aviation. Then, in Lubumbashi, the strong math began studying engineering in metallurgy ... "I had no choice, mining predominates there. "Meanwhile, he asked a scholarship in Liege, Belgium, hoping to follow in the footsteps of his two brothers, went before him to study in Europe. One morning at breakfast, the phone rings. "That year [1976], thirty-seven cases were selected. Mine was the thirty-seventh worst, "he recalls, with a big smile. To hear him talk so simply its course student, however brilliant, we almost forget that Fassi Kafyeke figure very prominently in the hierarchy of his company. His clothes were well cut, his manners of a diplomat and his presence alongside his assistant, we would leave almost fooled by the spontaneity of the character. "It was not nervousness of people's level. Rather the serenity of those who act according to their beliefs and the best they can, "confirms Eric Laurendeau, one of his colleagues. He considers himself "very lucky" and willingly takes his hat to his teachers, who, according to him, pushed him to go further than he had imagined: "In 1980, engineering degree Civil aerospace pocket, I was ready to return to Congo to work, "he said. An interview at the headquarters of Air Zaire had shown promise. "But a teacher told me about a mastery of aviation engineering in Britain. "There he will improve his knowledge of aerodynamics digital. And pass the interview of his life. "A team of Bombardier Canadair visited campus to recruit engineers. At that time, Canadians preferred to immigrate to the United States. Once again, a teacher who advised me to pass the interview. " Some time later, Bombardier makes a bid. The opportunity is too great, no question of returning to DR Congo. "America, everyone talked about. And I was going to do the job of my dreams. Canada has given me everything that immigrant demand. Here, no a priori judged on skills. My career was not so easy in Europe. "In recent years, Fassi Kafyeke is often not returned in DR Congo," because of the war. " But in Africa, he has always kept "empathy and sense of family." Accurate, logical, self-confident but never arrogant, the Congolese scatters her memories. He landed in Montreal on Saturday. On Monday, he is at work. "Two weeks later it was closed for summer holidays. But me, I arrived with a suitcase and 100 bullets in his pocket! I requested an advance to management. " It will take twenty-seven years to imagine the fuselage, wings and tail of a dozen models. While transmitting his knowledge to the Polytechnic School of Montreal. His colleagues would recognize a workforce and a memory out of the ordinary. Not to mention know-how gained at the cost of countless hours of wind tunnel testing ... His rise in the firm has not yet been meteoric. Engineer, Senior Engineer and then Head of Section, responsible and service ... "I do not like risk, admits it. I spend a lot of time checking to make insurance, imagine the implications. I did not move quickly, but when I made a decision, I act with determination.

His second life is now his "four bosses," as he calls them: his wife and three daughters. On weekends, he drops the aircraft to become a taxi driver, between skating lessons and dance lessons.
