Kinshasa

It is a novel in which the author portrays the Congo in 2025. The story evolves around a congolese who migrated to the US as child (as his father was pursued by the late dictator Mobutu's praetorian guards) and was educated there. He became a Major in the US AIRFORCE and also a specialist in missile navigation technology. When his uncle dies in Kinshasa, in 2025, he returns there with his father for the funerals. However, at that time (2025) islamists have become very active in the Congo where they procure uranium. The Americano-congolese (Major Gordon Madima) gets tangled in a suspense filled sequence of events when his father dies in an explosion attributed to the Lebano-pakistanis web that operates in Kinshasa. Nevertheless, using his military expertise, Major Madima uncovers a conspiracy to overthrow the governement and becomes a friend of the Congolese President in 2025, the evangelical socio-democrat Dr Ubang. It is in fact a novel-essay that provides a debate by several characters on the political developments in their country and also offers an idea on how the Congolese envision their country in terms of prospective. In 2025, many congolese who have been living in the USA have returned home and have contributed to a better governance, and have also transformed the country, which has reached a GDP of $95 billion. It is the first futurist novel ever written by an african and a congolese in particular. Hubert Lead.
