'The Tears of the Revolution' tells the story of Abdul Karim Faye, who decided it was high time for change not only for his country but the entire African continent. But it is also for Karim Faye, the people's hero, to fight for his infatuation with the beautiful Fanta Diop, who happens to be the daughter of the Minister of National Education and granddaughter of the President. The government officials will try to corrupt Karim and Karim will do everything to not only save his nation but also his love for Fanta; but at what price? After the atrocities of slavery and the cruelties of colonization it was hard to believe that the African continent would still be subject of so much suffering. And yet many leaders have come, passed by and showed the way out, but things do not seem to have changed much. In 'Tears of the Revolution', Abdul Karim Faye, a solitary hero proposes a way, which I hope will compel any Africans, or lovers of Africa to ask the following questions: What if the many young African youths, who died trying to cross the oceans or deserts to reach Europe decided to stay, enter politics and change the fate of their nations? What if the African organizations of nations played a better role than refusing to condemn heads of states who amend their constitutions, for more years in power? What if the United Nations started considering the African nations as it considers Europe or other countries of the world, for indeed if those dying in the Mediterranean sea were Europeans the reactions would be different. With a deep love story that goes along the tribulations of the hero, 'Tears of the Revolution' offers to the reader a moment of reflection on Africa's plight; and hopefully, on the realization that Africans, African youths can change their continent. The military that have undergone a coup in Guinea this last September 5, 2021 have just found no one else politically equipped to change the mal governance in Guinea. Why would not the youths get into politics and peacefully claim for what is theirs? Indeed they are a force that would make any bad leaders afraid. Karim Faye decided that things had to change and organized with two of his friends. They became a power within the power. Politicians joined his struggle because the people finally embraced a leader, determined enough, to face any evil that stopped change from taking roots. 'Tears of the Revolution' is also the pretext for the creation of a movement we have called 'The Africanists', which is nothing but a realisation for Africans and lovers of Africa that change has to come. For the Africanists anything that can help Africa rise from its ashes is welcomed; it goes with the collection of school equipment as small as pencils, the training of youth in political sciences, the help with medical equipment etc, to boost the belief that change is possible. This way, and only this way the huge flux of African youths who die, trying to reach Europe will stop. Abdul Karim Faye decided he would be like that little bird of the story, who was flying back and forth between the big fire that was ravaging the Amazon rainforest and the river, with water on its beak. The other big animals, amazed but what they considered ridiculous, asked him about his action. The little bird answered that if all the animals of the rainforest did like him then the fire would stop. Through the publication of this book, we invite all Africans, any lovers of Africa to do something, anything to at last see change come and settle, for nobody but us can make that happen.
