I feel bad about DNFing this one—we need books about the DRC but this is so dry that nothing is sticking to my brain. I will seek information elsewhere. Free Congo!

Refugee is a memoir by Emmanuel Mbolela, a Congolese activist. He describes his journey through the Sahara desert after he was exiled from his home country, D. R Congo.
He goes into details about the daily life and struggles of refugees who travel (mostly by foot) through Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Algeria, Morocco and Libya to hopefully make it across the Mediterranean sea all the way to Spain or Italy (by boat)! Many of them end up dying in the desert or often times drown in the ocean.
It was very sad and depressing !
