Toyin Falola et al on Democratic republic of Congo

[Augustine Togonu-Bickersteth]

Dear Forumite

Professor Toyn Falola has just had to be published a work on KENYA. he co authored with two other  professors ,from  Kenya. I think the world need s  a similar publication on Democratic republic of Congo and urgently too.

DRC is usually in the news for the wrong reasons. its a greatly endowed country with a staggering 24 trillion dollars of mineral resources, so we need some kind of book that  independents  can have towards introducing patches or portions of peace and development  in the Democratic republic of congo.thank you.

[Harrow, Kenneth]

Agreed, with augustine. To be noted: human rights watch has a good deal of valuable reports on the drc, and much on this troubling minerals situation. Amnesty as well, though not as much due to our lack of research resources. Importance of drc is overwhelming, as far as i am concerned. My focus is rwanda and burundi, but the drc is the true lynchpin for the entire region. And augustine is right about the enormous wealth—which is largely flowing out of the country, or into corrupt hands, alas.
