The Stairs Expedition to Katanga (1891−92), led by Captain William Stairs, was the winner in a race between two imperial powers, the British South Africa Company BSAC and the Congo Free State, to claim Katanga, a vast mineral-rich territory in Central Africa for colonization. The mission became notable when a local chief, (Mwenda Msiri), was killed, and also for the fact that Stairs, the leader of one side, actually held a commission in the army of the other.

  • L'expédition Stairs (1891−1892), qui tient son nom du capitaine William Stairs, est menée pour le compte du roi Léopold II de Belgique afin de s'emparer du Katanga, qui correspond à l'époque au royaume Yeke, région riche en minerais, dans le contexte d'une compétition avec les Britanniques et la British South Africa Company. Cette « ruée sur le Katanga » est l'un des épisodes de la « ruée sur l'Afrique », période de colonisation du continent africain par les puissances européennes. (fr)
