Marcel SONY LabouTansi, the author of the novel "The Shameful State", denounces the dictatorial system often practiced by most African leaders in the management of the "res publica". He paints the barbarity of man in relation to his fellow man. It also presents the duality between the traditional society characterized by democracy, peace ... and the modern society based on dictatorship in which the government behaves as a state, as absolute master, and the governed in the eternal "- mute", "voiceless". It invites the recipients to renounce to the bad principle in order to establish democracy, a system that respects the individual freedom of the people, that of human rights, of professional promotion for the harmonious development of a sovereign and democratic State. The novel "The Shameful State" unfolds the spiral of the unpleasant reign of a megalomaniacal, criminal and lustful president, Colonel Martillimi Lopez, who "shamefully" manages power and ends with the crying and gnashing of his constituents' teeth. After having committed: pedophilia, adultery, assassination of opponents, he was deposed by his relatives who created an insurrection and was forced to hand over power to civilians to return to his native village.

The present research has been carried out in three different groupings, namely Mudikwiti, Tanganga and Nkata in Kwilu province, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. 165 coalmen from eighteen villages have been considered as the sample used in this work. They are selected from all social strata, and their ages vary from 18 to 30 years old and from 44 to 56 years old. They have made 21,899 ovens, among which there were 12, 287 ovens of small dimensions, that is, 1 m x 6 m x 3 m, and 9,612 ovens of big dimensions: 6 m x 20 m x 3 m. They have cut 196,694 trees of different species to fill in the two kinds of ovens, say 99,984 trees for filling in small ovens and 96,710 trees to fill in big ovens. On the whole, they have produced 852,708 sacks of charcoal per year. The Nkata grouping, with its 11 villages, has produced 129,600 sacks of 45 kilograms, divided as follows: 14,400 sacks from the small dimension ovens and 115, 200 sacks from the big dimension ovens.
