Until April 1961 I had spent 4 years in Kenya. where I taught at Kibabu Teacher Training Center. the mailing address for which was Bungoma. a small government administrative center 5 miles from us. We were 33 miles from the Uganda border. the main road east from Uganda (from the town of Tororo) ran between Bungoma and Kibabu T.T.C.. 2 miles from the former and 3 miles from our place. Most of the refugees who fled east out of the Congo went across the- CongoUganda border and thence into Kenya. and so to Europe. and these came down that road 3 miles from us. When the Belgians withdrew. the Congo. as an entity. ceased to exist. Without the restraining hand of the Belgian Government. the tribes recommenced their old tribal warfare.
