Congo faces pan-Africanist changes in the Sahel

This first book by Gérard Katunda Mundundu summarises the thinking behind his 24-year scientific career at the University of Kinshasa under the tutelage of Professor Mulambu Mvuluya Faustin. A political scientist by background and tradition and a systems theorist by approach the author provides an in-depth analysis of the Congo a citadel besieged by Western powers. A country criss-crossed by a number of red lines established as a system and serving as a barrier to the decisions and actions of political leaders particularly with regard to the enjoyment of the country's fabulous natural forest mining oil and gas resources. It is also interesting to note the connection made by the author between the pan-Africanist changes underway in the Sahel and the fate of Lumumba's Congo the trigger country in Frantz Fanon's Africa as the natural epicentre of African leadership. A forward-looking analyst the author argues that the emergence of a free independent and sovereign Africa is imminent and irreversible and recommends destroying the Congo of the Westerners and moving towards the Fourth Republic.
