“This article has incorporated some ideas from the books:  Pedagogy of the Oppressed  by Paulo Freiro, and  Existentialism is Humanism  by Jean Paul Sartre. These are the books that have inspired me to write this article.” A society that does not recreate itself is more dead than alive. This is the case with the Congo. From 1960, the year in which Congo got her independence, there has been a number of unreasonable wars that has left the country in total depression and despair.  When Lumumba, the Congolese freedom fighter and great hero in the history, officially announced the independence of his nation there emerged a lot of forced violence. The so called ‘ les martyrs de  l’independance ’  were killed due to the violence that took place at the period, that is from the 1959 to the 1960s.
