“The obsession with seeking in Africa's colonial past the causes of all its miseries today is the work of people intimately convinced that Africa is doomed, that it is unable to take care of itself today, and that, finally, the fate of the Black will only improve if the White comes back to repair what he has done wrong: these “hidden Afro- pessimists â€� are hiding, under gratuitous accusations, anger, or demand for reparation, their own disarray. This explains why their words are sterile, never accompanied by proposals for solutions to the problems they evoke. They are doing a lot of harm to Africa because they divert issues that have worth.”

“Il y a un très grave problème qui se pose au Congo. Il ne s’agit pas seulement de la violence dans l’Est, du viol des femmes. Il y a en cause, pour le moment, l’avenir même du Congo, parce que les Congolais ne lisent pas les livres. Et un peuple qui ne lit pas les livres n’a pas d’histoire, il n’a pas de mémoire collective. C’est un peuple qui est voué à la disparition. Donc, c’est cela ma grande préoccupationâ€�”

“Tout le défi est là : c’est de montrer qu’il ne suffit pas qu’il ne suffit pas d’avoir des textes. Il faut les connaitre, les animer de manière convenable et donner au pays une chance d’avoir la justice que tout le monde réclame”

“Some people might view “King Hochschild’s Hoax,â€� as we might call it, as an empowering fable for modern Africans at the expense of the white man. But its debilitating effects on Africa, and on the Congo in particular, make the opposite more nearly the case. It is a callous and negligent chicotte (hippo whip) lash on the backs of all black Africans, narcissistic guilt porn for white liberals at the expense of the African. The Congolese lawyer Marcel Yabili calls it “the greatest falsification in modern history,â€� a compliment of sorts, I suppose.”
