With time, memories are released, bringing back testimonies of forgotten wars. Such memories can act as therapy for soldiers wounded on the battlefield and saddened in their heart afterwards. It is in this context, in which our leaders carry much responsibility, that our contemporary society was built. The lies associated with war are often perpetuated by the inaccuracy of recorded facts - much can be hidden, leaving the victims to their own fate. For years we have known about the violence and tortures during the conflict in Algeria, for example, just one among so many of others. These are often ignored in our history books and in television reports, hiding a great number of truths on military interventions. Secrecy makes it possible to veil the worst, silence camouflages the horrors, and chicaneries hide political motivations to save the honour of the fatherland.</p><p>Roger Rousseau, author of this book, could have been satisfied to keep the old demons and memories to himself, and simply draw a curtain across the past. He could have been convinced that the military intervention on Kolwezi, in Zaire, was a total success, a clean exercise. He could have carried his campaign medal on his parade dress, and worn it with pride; to complete an exemplary career within his mother Legion. But Roger Rousseau, Legionnaire, decided differently.</p><p>Even though Roger Rousseau knows that the action of the army on Kolwezi made it possible to save many lives and that most of the soldiers intervened in all dignity, he also knows that wars are dirty. There was, in Zaire, certain excesses that should have been avoided. This is why, in response to his own conscience, speaking after several decades, he decides to state without concession, his testimony. The true history is poignant and seems surrealist compared to the official lies. However, nobody can doubt the events that Roger saw with his own eyes.</p><p>This book also recalls the tribulations of a Legionnaire, from his engagement in the French Foreign Legion at the Fort de Nogent in October 1975 to the Eagle Nest in Corsica, through the intervention in Zaire and meeting the Nayas (women) from Djibouti...</p><p>The book The Foreign Legion in Kolwezi! is not a slur against the Legion, or a novel. It is an account of a well documented life and homage to an unknown dead Zairian from Kolwezi. Finally, Roger especially regrets being misled by his mother Legion, who had said to him one day: Legionnaire, you are a volunteer serving France with honour and fidelity.</p><p>Admittedly, it is always possible in this world to accept the peace of silence, to be locked up at home and close ones eyes on an unknown future. It is easier, in this third millennium, to relax at home and sit down on the settee. However this kind of attitude offers all possible freedoms to the decision makers, gives carte blanche to those who would like to degrade humanity, along with those who think more of profits than safeguarding our planet. As a result of our silence, the bitterness and pain of oppressed people is forgotten, resulting in many innocent victims. We need to wake up, and be aware - to say no while there is still time.</p><p>Perhaps one day, we will not have to record the names of future wars in our history books; we will not have to lie any more. But now we must rely on the testimonies of the past, like those of Roger Rousseau, so we can remember that no conflict is clean. Only peace between the people of the world can make it possible to consider a more serene future. Perhaps the idea seems utopian, but dont we need a bit of Utopia to hope?</p>(*_*)1230004699903_<p>The dark cloak of secrecy allows many crimes against humanity to pass unnoticed.
