CONAKAT

The Confederation of Tribal Associations of Katanga (French: Confédération des associations tribales du Katanga; CONAKAT) was one of the main political parties in the Belgian Congo and was led by the pro-Western regionalist Moïse Tshombe and his interior minister, Godefroid Munongo. It became the ruling party of the State of Katanga whose declaration of independence sparked the Congo Crisis.
