Excerpt from The Fall of the Congo Arabs The year 1892 marks the crisis of a struggle in Central Africa between the conflicting forces of the East and the West. Between these forces, represented on the one hand by the Arabs from Zanzibar, and on the other by the Europeans from the mouth of the Congo, a collision had long been pending; and since each was bent upon supremacy within the same area, it was evident that the extinction of one power or the other could alone solve the problem. A body of Arab traders, hunters of slaves and ivory, had long striven to gather to Zanzibar the entire trade of Central Africa; while the Belgians of the Congo Free State, later in the field, sought to divert the commerce of the Interior to the Congo mouth, and thence, ultimately, to Europe.

The impression conveyed by a Masai village is that of Druidical remains: it gives the appearance of a collection of large flat stones, arranged and joined together so that they form a complete circle, outside which, just topping the huts, is usually a hedge of dried thorns. The separate huts join one another continuously, except in one or two instances where a natural gangway is left as a means of egress from, or ingress to, the interior of the village. This forms the only suggestion of a road. At night these openings--the only break in the circle formed by the huts--are closed by thorn bushes. The diameter of the circle varies from fifty to two hundred yards. When a section of Masai has Wanderobbo attached to it, they build a system of huts or shelters, surrounded by and thickly covered with thorn bushes, against the outside of the circle, to windward. Of late years, owing to the diminution in the quantity of game, lions have taken to cattle-and man-eating, and it has now become usual for a zereba of thorn bushes to be placed against the outside walls of the village. Before this precaution was adopted, both men and cattle were frequently carried off in neighbourhoods where lions abounded. Inside the huts the only furniture consists of cooking pots and the sleeping places: these consist of piles of thin twigs, raised to a height of about two feet and covered with a dressed skin. The cooking place is a circular arrangement of stones, in the centre of which the fire is made. When the cooking pots are small, they are placed over the fire, but in the case of large utensils a stone is taken from the circle and the pot substituted in its place. This necessitates constant turning ...
