Soldiers of the Force Publique, pictured at Boma in 1899
The Batetela rebellion[a] (French: Révolte des Batetela) was a series of three military mutinies and a subsequent low-level insurgency which was attributed to members of the Tetela ethnic group in the Congo Free State between 1895 and 1908.[1]
Beginning in a mutiny among Tetela troops of the Force Publique of Luluabourg (modern-day Kananga) in January 1895, the revolt sparked a prolonged insurgency and two further mutinies subsequently took place elsewhere in the Congo. The second rebellion occurred among the troops serving in the military expedition under Francis Dhanis to the Upper Nile in 1897.[2] The third and final mutiny took place among the garrison of Fort de Shinkakasa near Boma in April 1900.[2]
The rebellion was one of the most important anti-colonial rebellions in the history of the Congo and the last Tetela rebels were only defeated in 1901.[citation needed]
