Zongo, Sud-Ubangi (DR Congo)
Zongo is a city in Sud-Ubangi Province in the northwestern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo, lying on the south bank of the Ubangi River, across from Bangui in the Central African Republic. It is linked by ferry to Bangui but has declined in importance as a transport hub since much traffic moved east in the late 1980s. By the end of the First Congo War, the city was controlled by the Movement for the Liberation of Congo. In 2001 the city saw an influx of refugees from the Central African Republic, the government of which alleged former soldiers among them were behind an attempted coup in Bangui in 2002. During the 2012-13 Central African Republic conflict, refugees from the Central African Republic capital of Bangui Bangui () (or Bangî in Sango, formerly written Bangi in English) is the capital and largest city of the Central African Republic.

Dungeon (comics)
''Dungeon'' ( French title: ''Donjon'') is a series of comic fantasy comic books created by Joann Sfar and Lewis Trondheim, with contributions from numerous other artists. It was originally published in France by Delcourt as a series of graphic albums; English translations of a large amount of stories have been released by NBM Publishing, first in a black-and-white periodical version and now as several color graphic novels. The series is a parody of sword and sorcery conventions in general, and specifically of the role-playing game ''Dungeons and Dragons''. All of the characters are either anthropomorphic animals or other strange creatures. The "dungeon" of the title is, in the original series, a business establishment run by a mild-mannered chicken, where heroes come in search of adventure and treasure and invariably die. The timeline in the main continuity is described as the stages of day; the series that lead up to the dungeon's creation are described in the ''Potron-Minet' ...

Zongo Comics
Zongo Comics was founded and published in 1995 by ''Simpsons'' and ''Futurama'' creator Matt Groening. Unlike its counterpart Bongo Comics, the comics published were geared towards older audiences containing adult material and did not include any adaptations of Groening's cartoons. The only two titles in the Zongo Comics range were ''Jimbo'' and ''Fleener''. Zongo Comics did not last as long as its sister group, and the range was cancelled after the series failed to attract a wide audience. Because the Zongo ''Jimbos'' were not very popular when they came out, Zongo/Bongo printed less of each issue. By issue 6, they only printed 500. Because only ten Zongo Comics were ever published, they are well sought after by collectors due to their rarity. Publishing list ''Jimbo'' *(7 issues) created & written by Gary Panter Gary Panter's graphic novel '' Jimbo in Purgatory'' is thought of as #8 in this series but it was not published by Zongo. The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles ...

Zongo Settlements
Zongo settlements are areas in West African towns populated mostly by migrants from the northern savannah regions and the West African Sahel, especially from northern Nigeria. Common features of the zongo communities are their use of Hausa language as lingua franca and their shared religion: Islam. The designation of these wards of migrants as ''zongos'' derives from the Hausa word ''zango'' which literally means "a camping place for trading caravans". As the name reveals, zongos were originally founded as ports of trade in the long-distance trading networks that connected the West African subregion. Ghana Collectively referred to as ''zongos'', zongo communities are found in all 16 regions of Ghana with much denser populations in Greater Accra and the Ashanti Region. The earliest bustling zongo communities in Ghana started in Salaga, and by the first quarter of the 19th century similar communities were already established in Tamale, Yeji and Ejisu. The largest and one of the ol ...
