The Great Usurpation uncovers the hidden story behind Hyppolite Kanambe, also known as Joseph Kabila, and his two-decade hold on power in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Drawing on investigative research, expert reports, and testimonies, the book explores the contested origins, identity, and legitimacy of Kabila’s rule. It examines how foreign influence, political manipulation, and secrecy shaped a government that controlled immense national wealth while leaving its people impoverished. This work is neither a polemic nor a baseless accusation—it is a rigorous documentation of memory, analysis, and political events. Readers will understand how a power built on predation and silence took root in broad daylight. Beyond exposing the past, the book calls for collective vigilance, truth, and civic engagement. It emphasizes that national reconstruction is impossible without confronting historical injustices. Ultimately, it is a tribute to the Congolese people who continue to resist fear, deception, and resignation.
