Les chefferies Mpongwe, Orungu et Olamba – sous-royaumes historiques du Royaume Kongo – sont sous-représentées, voire absentes, sur les plateformes Wikimedia. Les lignées royales, chefferies, successions politiques et structures socio-culturelles ne sont actuellement pas documentées en ligne, ce qui crée une lacune historique majeure dans la connaissance libre concernant l’Afrique centrale.
Problèmes identifiés :
Absence de données fiables sur les sous-chefferies du Royaume Kongo Risque de perte d’archives locales et de traditions orales Faible représentation du patrimoine gabonais et kongolais sur Wikimedia
Presque aucune information sur les rois et lignes de succession
Changement attendu : Rapatrier, numériser, structurer et publier sur Wikimedia les données historiques dispersées Créer des articles Wikipédia, éléments Wikidata et archives Commons Préserver la mémoire historique du Royaume Kongo Améliorer la représentation du patrimoine culturel bantou Renforcer les compétences locales en documentation historique
