In this conversation recorded in 2023, Bishops Cynthia Moore-Koikoi, Gabriel Unda, and Mande Muyombo define and discuss tribalism.

The conversation is a result of the United Methodist Council of Bishop’s commitment to doing the work of anti-racism, both within the Council and within the Church, and the realization that a sole focus on US-based racism would itself be a manifestation of racism.

“Everyone in Congo knows that it is tribalism that is destroying all of Congo today. I would define tribalism as the love of one’s tribe so that only my tribe is good.”- Bishop Gabriel Unda

“I would add that one of the factors that suffers from tribalism is marriage. where young girls and boys are practically forbidden to marry when they are from different tribes.”- Bishop Mande Muyombo
