The Lubefu River is a tributary of the Sankuru River, which in turn is a tributary of the Kasai River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

  • The Lubefu River is a tributary of the Sankuru River, which in turn is a tributary of the Kasai River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

From Bena Dibele, a town on the Sankuru just below the point where it is joined by the Lubefu to the government station of Lubefu is about 100 miles (160 km). However, it took 19 days for a whaleboat with experienced paddlers to cover this distance. The Belgian colonial authorities forced the peasants of the area to grow cotton against their will. Direct refusal to plant cotton would have been suicidal given the brutal techniques of the colonialists. One passive resistance technique was to boil the cotton seeds before planting them, so they would not germinate. In 1925 people living in the southern plains of the Lubefu explained to a state agronomist that "the soil is burning the cotton seeds". (en)
