- Les émeutes de janvier 1959 de Léopoldville sont une série d'émeutes et de troubles sociaux s'étant déroulés à Léopoldville, alors au Congo belge, au mois de janvier 1959 et marquant un tournant décisif vers l'indépendance du Congo. Les émeutes éclatent après que les autorités coloniales ont interdit aux membres du parti politique de l'ABAKO de manifester le 4 janvier 1959. La répression est très violente. Le nombre exact de victimes n'est pas connu à ce jour, mais au moins 49 personnes auraient perdu la vie. Le Congo belge obtient son indépendance près d'un an et demi plus tard, le 30 juin 1960, devenant la République du Congo-Léopoldville. (fr)
- Беспорядки в Леопольдвиле — беспорядки, произошедшие в январе 1959 года в Леопольдвиле (современная Киншаса) в Бельгийском Конго и ставшие важным моментом для конголезского движения за независимость. Беспорядки произошли вследствие того, что членам политической партии «Альянс баконго» не разрешили собраться для участия в акции протеста. В ответ на беспорядки колониальные власти жёстко отреагировали. Точное число погибших неизвестно, но по крайней мере 49 человек погибли, а общие потери, возможно, достигли 500 человек. 30 июня 1960 года Конго получило независимость, став Республикой Конго. (ru)
