| Publisher Description: In this compelling book, Fidele Lumeya outlines the history of the crises in the Democratic Republic of Congo, from the Lumumba era, through the reigns of Mobutu and Laurent-D sir Kabila, to the current struggles for power. He highlights the issues of social and group identity, and focuses on the abhorrent mobilization of child soldiers. Lumeya also comments on peace efforts that have achieved success, and presents alternatives to violence. He advocates for "the creation of a space where reconciliation and healing process can start; where truth can be told and mercy granted." |
