THE FEAST OF HYENAS

This novel presents an excellent synoptic view of all the dealings, shady maneuvers, and machinations that take place within the political power circles in Africa, driven by the interests of world powers. The reader realizes that Africa's golden age is not coming anytime soon, given the internal quarrels marked by tribalism, clanism, and presidents clinging to their seats. These deviations not only hinder development but also pave the way for imperialism, neocolonialism, and the greed of multinational corporations. Nationalism, patriotism, and pan-Africanism, which drive some African leaders, become mere hollow words and values that are on the decline. In this work, those unfamiliar with African politics are well-informed, and their naivety and ignorance are addressed. The author demonstrates skill in weaving intrigues, providing precise facts, portraying characters' behaviors, and constructing dialogues." An essential work to understand contemporary Africa."Jean Jacques BenienRewriter-literary critic
