Darwin’s Nightmare can be described as an allegory presenting a world of super powers and their greed to steal‚ destroy and kill. It is not only the story of Eastern Congo alone‚ but an eye opener to the imperialistic interest of some “war lords” in the natural resources of some endowed nations that are considered lesser power.
