Across sub-Saharan Africa in recent years, presidents have attempted to modify, reinterpret, repeal, or otherwise circumvent their countries' constitutions in order to extend their time in office. In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) today, citizens are waiting to see whether President Joseph Kabila will maneuver around term limits to run in the presidential election scheduled for November 2016. In March 2016, the Republic of Congo's Pres Denis Sassou-Nguesso won a third term after an October 2015 constitutional referendum removed presidential term limits in that country. In December 2015, voters in Rwanda approved a constitutional referendum allowing President Paul Kagame, whose second term was set to expire in 2017, potentially to remain in power until 2034. And in July 2015, amid massive protest, Burundi's President Pierre Nkurunziza won his third term in office, after the country's high court ruled that he was eligible to run again despite having already served two terms.

Cet ouvrage, consacré au Bassin du Congo, a la particularité d'imaginer le portrait-robot d'un univers dénué du deuxième poumon mondial après l'Amazonie, constitué de forêts, d'eau, de tourbières, de grandes réserves de carbone et d'une riche biodiversité. Ces trésors sont cependant menacés par, d'un côté, les intérêts mercantiles des réseaux mafieux avides d'enrichissement et, de l'autre, par la mauvaise gestion des institutions et des puissances, qui occasionne des zones d'incertitudes qui échappent au contrôle des pouvoirs autochtones endogènes. C'est en observant ces abus que Michel Innocent Peya tire la sonnette d'alarme sur le risque de génocide climatique planétaire si le Bassin du Congo se dégradait ou disparaissait.
