“Holocaust in the Congo” published by L’Artilleur
More than 10 million dead, 500,000 women raped... and silence. Until when? Between April and July 1994, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), formerly Zaire, was invaded by an influx of Rwandan refugees and since then has been constantly attacked and pillaged by troops from Rwanda and Uganda. What is happening in this country where the dead now number in the millions and the rapes in the hundreds of thousands?
Charles Onana demonstrates that since 1994, we have been witnessing the covert invasion of Congo by militias and troops of Paul Kagame, the Rwandan head of state supported initially by the Clinton administration and then by Nicolas Sarkozy's France. Based on exclusive testimonies and documents from the CIA, the Pentagon, the White House archives, the Élysée Palace, and the European Union, the author reveals how the United States trained this lawless man to serve its interests in the DRC, the Central African Republic, Congo-Brazzaville, and other Central African states where the war between the West, China, and Russia is fierce for control of strategic mineral resources.
Insatiable predators are tearing apart the DRC and plundering its riches. After 20 years of research, the author alerts public opinion to the planned extermination of local populations, while several heads of state in the region and a European ambassador have already been assassinated. Charles Onana explains above all how the destruction of the DRC is being organized using terror and lies with the aim of getting its hands on minerals essential to the global arms industry, mobile telephony, and the energy transition.
An explosive behind-the-scenes documentary about the gigantic massacre of human beings taking place just a few hours by plane from our Western countries.
Charles Millon, Jacques Chirac's Minister of Defense from 1995 to 1997, experienced the invasion of Congo-Zaire at the political forefront and recounts his personal experience in the preface to this book.
