Untold unemployment has evolved in Congolese urban areas. Basically, there are movements that take place between the countryside and the urban centers, the mass dismissals of workers in the private sector and the closure of a few companies. The objective of this study is three-fold, namely to identify the causes related to the proliferation, the resilience and multiplicity of "Zandu ya Bitula" markets in Kisangani; to determine the advantages and disadvantages of these markets; and, finally, to identify the categories of the Kisangani population who frequent these night markets. After data analysis, the results showed that the unemployed population as well as state civil servants are those frequenting the "Zandu ya Bitula" markets. The factors underlying the emergence of these markets are numerous, notably the maximization of revenue, time saving, selling foods at all cost because of lack of means of conservation, avoiding to pay taxes, lack of spare time, supply for the following day as well as the possibility of selling foods that are out of legal control. Disadvantages of these markets are: risk of theft, purchase of stolen goods, risk of diseases and multiple harassments.

Abstract
Untold unemployment has evolved in Congolese urban areas. Basically, there are movements that take place between the countryside and the urban centers, the mass dismissals of workers in the private sector and the closure of a few companies. The objective of this study is three-fold, namely to identify the causes related to the proliferation, the resilience and multiplicity of "Zandu ya Bitula" markets in Kisangani; to determine the advantages and disadvantages of these markets; and, finally, to identify the categories of the Kisangani population who frequent these night markets. After data analysis, the results showed that the unemployed population as well as state civil servants are those frequenting the "Zandu ya Bitula" markets. The factors underlying the emergence of these markets are numerous, notably the maximization of revenue, time saving, selling foods at all cost because of lack of means of conservation, avoiding to pay taxes, lack of spare time, supply for the following day as well as the possibility of selling foods that are out of legal control. Disadvantages of these markets are: risk of theft, purchase of stolen goods, risk of diseases and multiple harassments.

Abstract: (french)
Le chômage incalculable a évolué dans les milieux urbains Congolais. A la base, il y a les mouvements qui s’opèrent entre les campagnes et les centres urbains, les licenciements massifs des travailleurs du secteur privé et la fermeture de quelques entreprises. Nous avons assigné à cette étude un triple objectif, à savoir dégager les causes liées à la prolifération, de la pérennité et de la multiplicité des marchés « Zandu ya Bitula » à Kisangani, de déterminer les avantages et les inconvénients de ces marchés et, enfin d’identifier les catégories de la population de Kisangani qui fréquentent ces marchés nocturnes. Apres analyse des données, nous avons abouti aux résultats selon lesquels ce sont les chômeurs ainsi que les agents et fonctionnaires de l’Etat qui fréquentent plus les marchés « Zandu ya Bitula ». Les facteurs à la base de l’émergence de ces marchés sont nombreux, à savoir la maximisation des recettes, l’économie du temps, l’évacuation des denrées faute de moyen de conservation, la fuite des taxes, le manque de temps la journée, l’approvisionnement pour le lendemain ainsi que la possibilité de vendre une denrée qui échappe à tout contrôle. Comme inconvénients, il y a le risque des vols, l’achat de biens volés, le risque des maladies et les tracasseries multiples.
