Frantz Fanon once wrote: "Colinialism hardly ever exploits the whole of a country. It contents itself with bringing to light the natrual resources, which it extracts, and exports to meet the needs of the mother country's industries, thereby allowing certain sectors of the colony to become relatively rich. But the rest of the colony follows its path of under-development and poverty, or at all events sinks into it more deeply"

Banana was a settlement at the mouth of the river Congo. Bananas are named after it. If someone is psychotic in the U.K. We have several phrases. One of them is to say 'They've gone bananas.' Similarly; If someone is neurotic, the phrase 'Gone Doolally' is often used. Doolally was a hospital in India for those British empire soldiers with battle fatigue in the first Afghan wars. Wikipedia wrongfully reports that going bananas is a late 1960's American college campus slang term related to the term 'Going Ape.' William Grant Stairs & men are the real reason the phrase came about. Welsh soldiers were most probably the first to coin the phrase. A large proportion of English phraseology & a fair bit of foreign language integration's hark back to military ventures as far back in time as the middle ages. Next time you here someone say ''Gone Bananas.'' You may think of Captain Stairs.

@@boser_ketchup3101 What do you mean by "normal"? It is a bit of a taboo for historians to comment on a long-dead figure's mental health. And that is because we may never know for sure. However, from a psychological perspective, he is exhibiting symptoms of antisocial personality disorder. And you can start as a "normal" person and be shaped by traumatic events into a person that is not "normal" when it comes to mental health. As for his actions being "normal" behaviour at the time, this lad and the likes of Leopold II were criticised by their respective governments, peers, the media once their acts became public knowledge.

Stairs appeared to be a soldier of fortune, rather than a Commonwealth patriot. In those days the dividing line between Canadian hailing from Halifax , Britisher, seemed quite fuzzy. Canada did not have its own Navy, it seemed Canada mostly provided soldiers that were expected to have interoperability with the British Army. Much the same as how the Cdn. Army is expected to have 'interoperability' with the US Army. The word in quotation marks essentially means proxy force. Its funny how the Americans when referring to Commonwealth troops up to the end of WWII use the term British, which is not meant as a pejorative. Its just their convention. So Belgium causing havoc in the Congo. Not much different than for the segment of the twentieth century from WWII through to the rest of the century. Francafrique.
