Nyangwe
Nyangwe is a town on the Lualaba River in Maniema in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. In the nineteenth century it was a major market of the Swahili-Arab trade in ivory and slaves, where David Livingstone witnessed a massacre in 1871. Its capture by Congo Free State forces in 1893 was a decisive moment of the Congo Arab war.
