The Battle of Dakar, also known as Operation Menace, was an unsuccessful attempt in September 1940 by the Allies to capture the strategic port of Dakar in French West Africa (modern-day Senegal). It was hoped that the success of the operation could overthrow the pro-German Vichy French administration in the colony, and be replaced by a pro-Allied Free French one under General Charles de Gaulle.

Antonio Tempesta, also called il Tempestino (1555 – 5 August 1630), was an Italian painter and engraver, whose art acted as a point of connection between Baroque Rome and the culture of Antwerp.

The Konzo (pl. Bakonzo, sing. Mukonzo), or Konzo, are a people located in the Rwenzori Mountains of southwest Uganda. Numbering 850,646 in the 2014 census, they live on the plains, hills and mountain sloping up to an altitude of 2,200 meters. Traditionally agriculturalists and animal husbanders, they farm yams, beans, sweet potatoes, peanuts, soy beans, potatoes, rice, wheat, cassava, coffee, bananas, and cotton, while keeping goats, sheep, and poultry. They speak the Konjo language and practice traditional religions and Christianity. Konzo speakers also live on the western slopes of the Rwenzori range in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Konzo were part of the armed Rwenzururu movement against the Toro Kingdom and central government that reached heights in the mid-1960s and early 1980s. In 2008, the government recognized the Rwenzururu Kingdom, formed by the Konjo and Amba peoples, as Uganda's first kingdom shared by two tribes. Since July 2014, secessionist ambitions have led to armed clashes in which dozens have died. Notable Bakonjo include Amon Bazira, a political figure instrumental in the negotiations that ended the 1980s conflict, and Charles Mumbere, named the Omusinga (king), of the Rwenzururu Kingdom. Their staple food is "obundu" and "sombe". " Obundu" or "Bundu" is a type of bread made of either cassava,sorghum or Millet; it is known by the baganda as "Kalo" and "atapa" by the japadhola and itesot of Eastern Uganda. On the other hand "sombe" are the cassave leaves which are pounded to make stew; it is known as "kisavu" among the Tanzanians of Pwani region. "Bundu" is eaten with stew and if there is no stew this meal cannot be served. The common forms of stew may include; sombe, muthene (yam leaves stew), fish, meat,legumes and vegetables. The bakonzo also like yams, cassava and matooke. Due to the post modernic era,the bakonzo especially those in urban centres are slowly adapting to the modern food like fast foods but all in all "bundu" remains at the centre of the bakonzo and if it is not served at a meal, people feel they haven't eaten. This meal is also served at ceremonies like weddings, funerals and other social gatherings
