Democratic Republic Of Congo Capital Rebellions In History PeopleS Republic Of Congo
The book covers the post-civil war period in the southern Congo.
In 1998, the Republic of Congo was recovering from civil war in which Denis Sassou N'guesso muscled his way back into power. One man finds himself on the precipice of change for both himself and his country. A quick business trip to the Mouyondzi District turns violent as a rebellion breaks out. Soldiers, who once fought for president-elect Pascal Lissouba, waged war against the new administration causing a few regions in the South to descend into chaos and violence. The rebels took control of villages and cities. With one way in and no way out, anarchy swept across the South and garnered national attention. The government had no other option but to deploy the army to fight the rebellion forcing thousands to seek refuge in the forests for several weeks. In this hauntingly true story of slaughter and survival, the author recounts the horrors that changed the course of Congolese history.
