Joseph Habimana Ngoma / Joseph Ngoma
Congo Shall Rise In Peace is Joseph Habimana Ngoma’s deeply personal literary tribute to the pursuit of peace in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Writing as a Congolese survivor of war and displacement, Ngoma reflects on decades of suffering, the resilience of ordinary people, and the efforts of Donald Trump, Félix Tshisekedi, the Wazalendo, and others connected to the search for peace and the protection of communities.More than a tribute to leaders or defenders, this book places the Congolese people at the center of the story-the mothers who carried unimaginable grief, the children who grew up beneath the shadow of conflict, the displaced who longed to return home, the survivors whose voices must not be forgotten, and the millions who have dreamed of a different future.Through history, testimony, reflection, faith, and hope, Ngoma examines the wounds of war, the responsibilities of leadership and the international community, the struggle surrounding Congo’s extraordinary natural wealth, the importance of justice and reconciliation, and the responsibility to build a peace strong enough to reach every home.At its heart, Congo Shall Rise In Peace is a declaration of hope: that Congo will not forever be defined by war, displacement, exploitation, and graves, but by restoration, dignity, justice, opportunity, and children who can finally sleep without fear.
