The first communities of the Greeks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo were established prior to Belgian colonization.[1] The Greek presence reached a peak in the 1950s when many Greeks fled Egypt following the revolution of 1952. The Greek communities organized their own schools and churches and Greeks were active in trade, fishing, transport, coffee growing and the music industry.[1] Also, a small group of Greek Jews emigrated to the Congo in the early 20th Century.
