Basankusu is a town in Équateur Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is the main town and administrative centre of the Basankusu Territory. In 2004, it had an estimated population of 23,764. It has a gravel airstrip, covered and open markets, a hospital, and two cellphone networks, which were installed in 2006. The town is also known as a centre for bonobo conservation efforts. Despite such developments, most inhabitants live at a subsistence level: hunting, fishing, keeping chickens and keeping a vegetable plot. In 2010, the workers at the local palm plantation would earn an average monthly salary of $40 (US dollars), most others would have much less.
The location of the town on the Lulonga River, a tributary of the Congo, at the confluence of the Lopori and Maringa Rivers has contributed to its success as a centre for trade in the region. Set deep in tropical rainforest, the rivers serve as the highways for transport of people as well as goods.
Historically, Basankusu holds some dark stories of exploitation during the times of the Abir Congo Company but was also the gateway to much of Equateur Province for those individuals involved in the reforms which came from the Casement Report and the Berlin conference of 1884-5
TU FORMA DE SER
POMPO ESTO PASO LA NOCHE DEL VIERNES,
COMO ALAS 7 DE LA MAÑANA
TE VI LLEGAR DEL BRAZO DE UN OMBLIGO
CUANDO ENTRASTE AL bar ,Y TE CAISTE
AL PISO, ME TIRASTE UNA CHIVA,
ME TIRASTE HA RATON, Y ESTALLARON
LOS VIDRIOS DE MI CORAZON, TE VI BAILAR
BRILLANDO CON TU AUCENCIA SIN SENTIR
LLEVAR, CHOCANDO CON LAS MESAS TE BURLASTE
DE TODOS TE REISTE DE MI TUS OMBLIGAS
ESCAPARON DE TI
CORO: Y AMI ME VOLVIO LOCO TU FORMA DE SER,
Y AMI ME VOLVIO LOCO TU FORMA DE SER TU
