It's pleasure to see author who cares about Congo put something together for us Congolese people as well as for the rest of the world. I know he wont be easy to write this book bcs of the complex of the situation DRC has been going thru since Leopold and what had happened to this people to be killed in silence. Nobody cares abt us, but to those who cares not just what Congo has like resources but about this poor population, WE CONGOLESE ARE GOING TO STAY STRONG N DEVELOP LOVE IN OUR HEART TO SUCCEED
Thank you for your thoughts, Pitshou. I still believe Congo has extraordinary potential, perhaps the greatest of any country in Africa. I will do my best to accurately depict the struggles there over the least several years. Asante. MD
