This book will highlight the hidden atrocities that happened in the Congo as there is a deliberate media blackout on the horrible situation endured by people from the Congo since the era of King Leopold II who was the owner of the Congo called "Congo Free State" until today. This book aims to draw attention to the Congo crisis, so the world community, the UN, the EU, NATO, IMF, World Bank, the Commonwealth of Nations, the African Union, all western governments, NGOs, Civil Society, Voluntary Sector should now focus and take decisive actions to tackle the culture of impunity following massive violations of fundamental human rights with two genocides, one during King Leopold II which claimed 20 million of indigenous Congolese and a second and ongoing genocide which has already claimed more than 12 million innocent Congolese deaths. Raising awareness about these atrocities on how to mobilize the world community to come to the rescue of the DRC's stabilization as the Author believes that as a geopolitical strategy, the DRC would make much needed progress on defending human rights, democracy and the rule of law as a Commonwealth country, therefore the book has made a valid case for the DRC to join the Commonwealth
