Behind the Scenes of the 'Banyamulenge Military' Momentum, Myth, and Extinction Behind the Scenes' book intends to contribute to raise awareness on the recent history of the Democratic Republic of Congo where Banyamulenge, specifically the "military", had gained momentum and widely discussed in literature and Medias. It recapitulates key incidents in which commanders have seemingly been targeted and killed under unclear circumstances.
The monograph tries to go behind the scene to understand what happened and why were they specifically targeted. Therefore, the book tends to question this momentum and see it rather as a myth that led to extinction of innocent soldiers and commanders. Nonetheless, the discussion in this book aims at keeping these stories alive ; thus, unveiling the commitment of young people who fell on the battlefield while claiming their rights.
These young people have been challenged by political loopholes within the `Elite Class'. Additionally, the document stands as an opportunity to inform interested reader, the Congolese youth, but also family relatives of those who fell on the battlefield, the context in which some of them might have lost their beloved parents, brothers and sisters. It hopes to increase awareness around "instrumentalization politics".
