Paul Lomami-Tshibamba

Paul Lomami-Tshibamba was born in 1914 in Brazzaville, to a father from Kasai and a Ngbandi mother from Ubangi, and joined his father in Léopoldville in 1921. A pupil at the minor seminary of Mbata-Kiela, he did not become a priest and worked in the colonial administration. An article published in 1945 in La Voix du Congolais brought him trouble with the authorities; he went into exile in Brazzaville, where he edited the review Liaison. Back in Léopoldville after independence, he founded a daily newspaper there and worked in the cultural administration. He died in Brussels in 1985.
