Are the United States of America, the Belgium, the France, and the United Kingdom the gods of the countries of the African Great Lakes Region (AGLR)? This is one of the questions that get critical and informed answers from this book. In fact, the countries of the AGLR such Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, and the DRC have been experiencing penurious socioeconomic situations, insecurity, human rights violation, and diverse atrocities for more than 400 hundred years now. Ethnic killings, civil wars, and genocides had been the most deleterious ones. For the recent historic atrocious events in the AGLR like the 1994 genocide, the civil wars in Uganda, the first and second wars of DRC, the ethnic killings in Burundi, etc. Most of the people of the AGLR and some international observers and agencies have never failed to blame some Western countries like the United States of America, the Belgium, the France, and the United Kingdom as if they were authors of the destiny of the African nations! Several books have been written showing proofs of involvement of the United States of America, the Belgium, the France, and the United Kingdom in many destructive activities in the AGLR, and in Africa as a whole. Many people believe that durable peace and prosperity can only be possible if those Western countries decide it. This book provides a contradictory view with comprehensive and concise historical analysis of the problems of the AGLR. This second volume (volume II) contains several negative mentalities such as harmful traditional mentality, slave mentality, victim mentality, etc. that many people of the African Great Lakes Region (AGLR) have to change so that durable peace and prosperity may be possible in the region. Otherwise, those kinds of mentality will remain permanent barriers to their well-being and will always to push them to waste time by finding excuses to their problems, and blaming other nations like the United States of America, the Belgium, the France, and the United Kingdom.
