With this episode of Guerrilla History, were follow up on our last episode of African Revolutions and Decolonization with another discussion with Prof. Georges Nzongola-Ntalaja, who joined us last time for The Congo - From Colonization Through Lumumba & Mobutu. Here, we pick up where we left off, with Mobutu's regime, and come to the present. Particular focus is given to the situation in eastern Congo with the 23 rebels today and their foreign backers. This is an extremely important conversation, so be sure to share this series with comrades! We are still in the very early phases of the planned ~40 parts, so it is a great time for them to start listening in as well!
