The Katangese among themselves

Since the effective dismemberment of the provinces in 2015, regionalist passions have crystallized in what is now known as "Greater Katanga. The Katangese communities claiming to be indigenous, at least thirty of them, find themselves psychologically divided and separated.Under the masks of the "katanganity" propagandized for a long time, identity convulsions are currently revealed, the consequences of which are the mutual rejection of one another as well as the open negation of fraternities between communities.The author, an analyst of social facts, prints his reasoning as a historian passionate about political issues, to decipher the new face of inter-Katanganese relations.
