Between Kinshasa and Kigali, a silent war rages: that of information. This conflict is redefining the balance of power in the Great Lakes region. Local radio stations, newspapers, television channels and social networks are all becoming battlefields where narratives, discourses and perceptions clash.This book takes an in-depth look at the historical roots of the conflict, from the Rwandan genocide to the Congo wars, and highlights the strategic importance of mineral resources, security narratives and regional diplomacy. More than a territorial confrontation, it's a battle for the control of minds.Through an exploration of digital strategies, disinformation campaigns and socionumeric vulnerabilities, the author deciphers the impacts of this cognitive war: incitement to hatred, undermining of sovereignty and manipulation of public opinion, to name but a few.This engaging book offers keys to understanding how information has become a weapon at the heart of the conflict between Kinshasa and Kigali, and why controlling it is now a vital issue of national and regional security.
