With government support, a Portuguese company in this industry, HCB, forced farmers off their land and into barbed wire-enclosed settlements called aldeamentos. Starting in 1958, Rupert Fothergill led a six-year campaign to combat this industry’s environmental impact. In 2002, the Basilwizi Trust was founded to aid those harmed by this industry such as the Tonga people. A facility used for this industry was created with funding from VALCO and was called the (15[1])“dearest dream” of a leader given a title meaning (*) “redeemer.” Mobutu (-5[1])Sese Seko took a seven percent kickback from a roughly one billion dollar project (10[1])in this industry that supported mining in Shaba.
