Person
André Matsoua
André Matsoua was a Congolese activist from the Lari people near Brazzaville who challenged French colonial rule in Middle Congo. In 1926 in Paris he founded the Amicale, an association of Africans from French Equatorial Africa that campaigned against forced labour and unequal treatment. Repeatedly arrested and imprisoned, he died in detention in 1942, and his followers came to venerate him in a religious movement known as Matsouanism.
