Talk:Likasi

History
The history section is woefully weak. The town appears to have been populated at one time by both French and Dutch speaking people (given the presence of names in both languages) and to have had several factories, refineries and mines. I would like to find answers to questions such as: When was the area first colonized? Did it displace a previous indigenous settlement? What industries were first developed and how did that change? Can anyone suggest sources for pre-1945 history of the town? 67.8.203.16 (talk) 14:15, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

DMC
my Jan 2006 additions are based on Declan Power's book and confirm my father's recollections of the battle (DMC)

Suggestion
The material on the Jadotville siege is fine; but would it not be better to break this into two entries: a Likasi entry with the basic essential facts about the town with a link (inc. text like 'The town was the scene of an engagement during the 1961 UN intervention in the Belgian Congo') to a second entry title 'Jadotville, Siege of'?

Done:) Moved the material over.  Somone almost instantly retitled it to 'siege of Jadotville' which sounds better 192.80.64.236 03:39, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
