Il s'agit particulierement, dans la conjugaison, de l'expression d'aspects par le recours aussi bien aux auxiliaires qu'aux particules postposees a la forme verbale simple. Le tout tend donc a confirmer les hypotheses avancees recemment par la recherche historique : les Ekonda seraient parvenus dans la region des Lacs, il y a seulement quelques siecles et les populations auxquelles ils seraient genetiquement apparentes doivent etre recherchees plus au Nord, en l'occurrence dans les bassins de l'Aruwimi et de la haute Mongala (Sulzmann 1985: 1-2). L'index Ekonda-proto bantou annexe a la description parait bien confirmer a son tour ces hypotheses par la presence d'une foule de racines a l'etat presque proto bantou. La langue des Ekonda pourrait bien, en effet, etre consideree comme l'une des scissions importantes de la branche primaire lebonya (Vansina 1995: 185).\u0000 This essay presents the phonological and morphological aspects of one of the numerous languages spoken in the region of the western lakes of the Congo. \u0000The phonological analysis reveals certain interesting phenomena: traces of cross-height vocalic harmony, distinction of the mora in syllabic structures, sporadic epenthetic nasal, compensatory vocalic quantity, tonal morpheme, etc.\u0000The morphological description also reveals certain facts hitherto unknown in the languages of the central Congo basin, in particular the expression of aspect by auxiliaries and pospositioned particles. \u0000Certain historical hypotheses are confirmed: the Ekonda arrived in the Lake region only a few centuries ago and the populations with whom they are to be associated genetically have to found more to the north, more in particular in the basins of the Aruwimi and the upper Mongala (Sulzmann 1958:1-2). A Ekonda - Proto Bantu index confirms these hypotheses as it shows how close numerous roots are to Proto Bantu.

Ce texte est a l'origine de la correspondance entre Tempels et Hulstaert. Cette correspondance a eu une influence certaine sur la redaction de la \"Philosophie bantoue\" de Tempels. Quant aux tons, Tempels pose qu'en tshiluba, les deux systemes different notablement ; ce qui est combattu par Hulstaert pour les langues lomongo et apparentees. Il en deduit qu'il existe une distinction entre les Bantu du Sud d'une part et les Bantu du Nord et les Soudanais de l'autre. Dans un post-scriptum, A.J. Smet publie quelques extraits d'etudes linguistiques qui appuient la these de Tempels. A.J. Smet presents a French translation of an unpublished Dutch text by Placied Tempels concerning the relation between the tones of the drumbeat and the spoken language. This text inaugurated the correspondence between Tempels and Hulstaert. This correspondence had a certain influence on the writing of the \"Bantu Philosophy\" by Tempels. As for the tones, the position of Tempels who states that, in Tshiluba, the two systems differ considerably, is contested by Hulstaert for Lomongo and related languages. He deducts that a distinction exists between the Bantu of the South on the one hand and the Bantu of the North and the Sudanese on the other. In a postscriptum, Smet publishes some excerpts from linguistic studies which confirm Tempels's thesis.

The arrival of the first Salvation Army missionaries in 1934 was not strange to this awakening. The natives were impressed by the uniforms and the insignia but also by the militancy of this association in its struggle against evil and the sins. The Salvation Army was considered to be the work of the Kongo prophet Simon Kimbangu and the head of this association passed for the reincarnation of Kimbangu. At the time, the Congolese considered the action of the Salvation Army as a struggle against witchcraft. And it is in the bosom of this association that around July 1939 the \"Black Mission” was born. Simon Mpadi, the founder of this African Church, was a former fellow-worker of the American Baptist Missionary Society and a former sergeant of the Salvation Army. In September 1939, about 150 villages in the Territories of Madimba and Kibambi sent a letter to governor-general Pierre Ryckmans to ask him for an official permission to found a separate African Church. They did not obtain the permission. On the contrary, the “Black Mission” was dissolved and Mpadi arrested and sent first to Befale in the Equator Province and then to Elisabethville in the Katanga Province. In the present study, which is based on a great number of unpublished documents, we analyse the attitudes which the colonial government and the European missions adopted vis-a-vis this new Kongo prophetic awakening from 1934 to 1940.
