The political history of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is marked by its transition from King Leopold II's private ownership to a nation grappling with poverty despite abundant resources. Governance failures since colonial times and ongoing external exploitation have hindered national development. The book highlights the struggles of the Congolese people, who persistently seek democracy and sovereignty amidst a backdrop of societal and political crises, driven by a lack of effective leadership and a commitment to the common good.
