so what happened to congo crisis n 1960?

[firemarshall007]

africa sucks ass...its the biggest garbage dump continent in the universe. everybody wants to leave that giant ghetto of a continent. how can anybody say they are proud to be from africa?

[desirejoseph26]

@firemarshall007 How can anyone be proud to be African?i guess you're proud to be American?Do you know your history?the genocide against the red indians in the America,the land you stole from them and imposed your rule on them.the wars you caused in Middle east,africa,i guess,you're proud to be american,huh?

[firemarshall007]

@desirejoseph26 At least America is still a nice place to live. Unlike starving AIDS infested Africans. America doesnt have starving people, but Africa does. The history of America has nothing to do with the history present condition of Africa. We are talking about here and now. Dont change the subject. right now Africa is starving and America is rich and happy. America is better than Africa. Thats why theres millions of Africans trying to make it into America. Case closed.

[desirejoseph26]

@firemarshall007 wow,an african american talking down on Africans?you must be proud of yourself to feel that you are superior to Africans simply because you live in the USA, do you think that USA is heaven?

[desirejoseph26]

@firemarshall007 what's your last name?your last name must be one that a slave owner gave to your grandparents,you must be an uncle Tom worshipping his master America!

[desirejoseph26]

@firemarshall007 forgot to say that your CIA killed Congo independence leader Patrice Lumumba,do you know how they did it?they butchered him and dissolved him in acid, i guess you're proud of the american caucasian legacy?

[firemarshall007]

@desirejoseph26 Nobody care about the Congo. Its a poor war-torn nation in the poorest continent on earth. Africa is the most pathetic place on earth. Right now the Chinese are exploiting it. Africans are stupid for letting the whites and now the Chinese come in to Africa to steal and exploit from Africa. AFRICA SUCKS!!!

congo, the heart of africa will rise up, and africa will shine. there is a generation of african people who will understand pretty much the mindgame of western power, and they will take the lead of africa, overcoming evevry obstacle and so to give africa a bright future. also, the only way for africa to rise is through the unity of african's nation. they must create a bond together to oppose the evil of western world. africa will shine again. they have it all.

[bachelorgeek]

the problem the Congo is facing is due to lack of patriotism first in our gouvernment and in the people. if we were united no foreign country will dare to make us look like losers...remember NEVER 3de place but 1st and 2nd we will accept ..Mobutu said

[SuperNathan80]

stupid are those conglese. it is not Nkunda's problem it is the stupid congo gouvenment and interehamwe. nkunda is a good man

[bondeko12]

fuck you Nkunda you are killing congolese people in their homelad. you are a terrorist like OSAMA BENLADEN. why people like you are getting supports.

[RICSAIMFA]

Stupid western media, how biased have they always been? It pisses me off to hear them say that the population is dying as a result of ethnic conflicts or illnesses. The reality is Congo suffers as a consequence of its minerals. These multinational companies are happy to have found cheap ways of acquiring raw materials. Rebel factions, supported by different multinational companies are involved in fights to gain control and serve their masters respectively.

[bondeko12]

u right my nigga. all the medai know about war in CONGO and they try to not pay attention to that,that's the reason GOD has punished them with the recession. They are very mean,human beings like them are dying in Africa,and they say this is politics, there is no justice is this world,the U.S has done a lot of evil things to african nations Bush may GOd hep you brother for what you did

[woddencabin]

people need to understand the only reason this is allowed to continue is because of the advantages the US, UK, EU, ASIAN multinational companies make from getting cheep natural resources, while congo people still suffers,

saying this gov. have no military

or this leader is evil

jus would not cut it...... because if the world was serious to end this issue it would have ended

i've met a few pplz who say the effects of this violence, it not plesant, real immages of rape and mutalations

[AlexRawlings]

This is an equation that includes foreign influence in the push for resources. The media needs to focus on the games being played on that level because it is often the motivation behind the movements of the smaller tribal groups. Robbery on a grand scale.

[lokanga]

this motherfucker of kundabatware is from rwanda...is not from congo.....fils de pute, tu va resté dans cette foret till the end of your life, musenzi...

[spidymon]

kunda is the killer

[muyumba1]

why all these informations about the congo,when would there ever be formations

find ini values and re-evaluate causes its the congolese people is land not 4General kunda. power to da people let not ur mind be disturb it greater than that.

[girlznguitarz]

Wake up time! Who put this depot in power, the CIA. The west funded him....wake up. The USA is tramping through these countries with their natural resources for the ultimate booty. see Naomi Kleins site her book `The Shock Doctrine` tells it like it is...

[PontiffMystic]

UN needs to give M16s, and sniper rifles to the civilians so they can protect themselves.

[BobbyDonnel]

I second that. people should have the right to bear arms, especially in light of an incompetent and impotent govt. and the UN military sectionshould be abolished. they're a bunch of useless bystanders

[RMC1989]

More weapons in Africa! What a great idea.

[MPArmstrong84]

@RMC1989 Who's manufacturing and selling those guns to African countries? Who's taking the natural resouces out and making billions of dollars?

[prittynae2008]

real talk but yu kno tha will just turn so bad like people will be killing each other again which is worst some thing should be done but dont think thats a really good one you see.

[tamaduni]

Congo exports minerals to the west--the west exports Ak 47 to congo and later on food aid to feed the refugees ---democracy in action

[salvadoraugustus]

where is usa? ...the power who free the world?????i think they jsut sold them guns

[tomaluta]

where KUNDA had MONEY TO CONDUCT rebelion?

*they are not ak47 factory in africa.

NO BLOOD ON MY CELL FONE

[RichardTaylor1800]

I find it odd that people think the Congolese can ever properly, peacefully govern themselves. History has shown they are just savages with AK-47s and RPGs, nothing more. They will never advance. There will always be chaos in that region.

[sexyozzy12]

Congo people have no shame

[armana1]

silly female contributor trying to absolve foreign interest of blame in the crisis.if there wasn't a market encouraged by foreign interests how will the illegal and deadly trade in congolese stolen resources thrive.more to the point ;where does these stolen resources end up ?

[caddict69]

wait for o-bomb-ma as in barakuda obama....they are the one manipulate the conflict and china fueled it by the element of communist comrade.......

[anthonyo4]

the west will get involved but wont stop it

after all we need to keep the natural resources coming while ensuring our weapon manufacturers can still line their pockets

[tamaduni]

lockeed martin

[Bryguyxx]

thatd be lockheed.

[diogeneslaertius666]

my point here is americans are blase about the rest of the worlds issues.

[diogeneslaertius666]

or

this isnt happening because were too busy being blindsided by choosing between globalist A and B

[diogeneslaertius666]

the graphics in farcry2 are a lot better than i had expected.

[ConcernedHuman]

so much of africas problems are caused by africans. i did humaintarion work there for a year and was shocked to discover this.

[DrSwami]

oh! and i thought it was by ants.

[moonlandingwasfake]

damn barbarians.

[alfalhomi]

oh no...

[Icecoldhard]

pisses me off
