Remembering The Democratic Republic of Congo

[FrozenMulletConquest]

ahhh the english ..

[rosey10880]

The only good thing I can sayabout the Congo is that your President is fine!

[SuperLePATRON]

@poptalk sorry to say this,but really my country needs a lot of standouts,but not really paying attention to the westerner’s and use our resources,somehow we are not in that category i think thats why we are not going anywhere..

[Baraka00243]

stanley killed more than hundred thousand( + 100 000) congolese but you already killed more than eleven million( + 6 000 000 000) of congolese , shut the fuck,

[DiceRolla88]

Right now there is no need to play the blame game... We Congolese as one, whether you are inside (or outside) the country, let us focus on the main goals for the people of Congo... We all have dreams for Congo to be a prosperous nation... Let us turn these dreams into achievable and successful goals by joining together with no secret or ulterior motives and strive to rebuild and fortify the country with honesty and integrity. As long as we are united with love, no foreign power can divide us!!!

[savannahblk]

The whites started all this shiet in the congo and the dirty crooked africans continue and carry it on till this day. So its both sides doing all the wrong against the ppl of the congo. Those greedy ruthless euroPIONS are responsible for nearly every war in africa. God will pay you back for all your war crimes along with your dictators.

[teamgrn]

why will they not take the mines back and all other resources. are they aware that it was basically stolen. and the same people are still stealing.. DONT BUY IT BACK. THEY SHOULD BE LUCKY WE DONT TAKE THEIR CITIES AND THROW THEM ALL IN JAIL. even under their laws they are criminals! BY NOT KICKING THEM OUT OF THE LAND YOU ARE SAYING ITS OK. NO OUTSIDE COUNTRIES SHOULD BE MAKING MONEY WHILE EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY SUFFERS.

[achille09]

regardez-moi cet tutsi qui se fait dire joseph Kabila. cet illetré, imposteur, forêstier aux dents de Rhinocéros, ce meurtrier de 7.000.000 de congolais.

Au congo nous n'avon pas des gens de la sorte. rentres chz toi à Kigali!

tu sera jugé avec tes belges qui t'ont placé à la tête du Congo.

[PATRICELUMUMBAS]

abas imperialism americain

[achille09]

les tutsis sont malade et maudits de cette création divine. C'est pour cela leur pays est aussi médiocre. leurs talents c'est massacrer, envier les terres d'autrui, voler. Mais chz nous les congolais et RDCongo sommes béni pcq nos ancêtres étaient béni de Dieu. vous payerez cher les crimes et massacres de

7 million de congolais, nos femmes violées. votre pays deviendra desert et disparaîtra de l'Afriq. On va abattre Kanambe! La guerre sera longue et populaire. Q vivra verra!

[achille09]

In compilcity with the U.S.A and Europe to balkanize the Congo, massacre Bantu population in central Africa because of our minerals (coltant, diamand, or, cuivre, uranium oil etc). he and his Tutsi brothers will pay that this year. We congoleses are liberating our country this year!

[TheAremo]

Henry Morten Stanley did not "Kill Hundreds of African" he did kill some Africans but only as a last resort and in self defence. Queen Victoria did not kill any Africans.

You forgot or maybe was not aware, that Henry Morton Stanley and more important David Livingstone and the British Government fought passionately to HALT the Arab Slave trade which was operating fully in that part of Africa.

[mclaren450]

they didnt have to live the way the west told them to. they could of just been in their own tribes.

[evolvingwisdom]

that is the problm we went to the same school.a schooling based on expoitation and capitalism..N we all learn of the invincibility of the west. we get punked at every turn r shot in the head as they tell of assination or "killed" never expoundng on who r what was going on when we were killed. we have learned so well frm whites to kill n marginalize Black life n every aspect.that is what Blacks,Whites and all in between learn, marginalize african life.We internalize this unconsciously n act on it

[anthun88]

And you call White people Rasists, Look at all of those who is wrigting well almoust everyone. White people white people. its all u got to say, white people didnt ruin afrika maybe some white people helped to ruen it that i can belive but in all common sence the ruening of afrika was done by africans, belive it or not.

[epanzamakita]

It will never be possible to invest in a country where the people are take ostage by a group of Mafiosi. People of Africa is time to wake up and take care of your destiny! The world doesn't care about you! Is time to take your destiny in your hand! LOVE and RESPECT each other. The past divided us , the present needs to bring us together for to be unify in the future. To recognize our wrong doing can only make us strong. Hatred is not the answer! It is time that Africa claims is HUMANITE.

[Pmashami]

What a dumb ass...why would you invite the same people who colonized you??? Dump Idea. White people should not be allowed back anywhere in Africa. they're a desease and we need to stop beeing their medecine. I can't also blame all on the whites. Congolese needs to think and act on their own. it seems that they alway calling for help. Do like Kagame is doing. Decline foreign aid...it's not doing any good.

[FlorisGC]

Kagame is still relying a lot on foreign aid. There would be no governement without foreign aid.

[karlos707]

2200 dead per day...no white mercenaries..no white government officials...just white aid workers

and occasionally a few white UN peacekeepers.

Yes..mr.whiteman did bad things in the past..but

hey..so did mr.blackman...the violence now is all black against black...so stop bitching about the past and get yourselseves sorted out. and

prove to the world -and all those poor bloody

refugees-that you can run your country without

the dirty whitemans aid...

[Soulblackman]

The effects of the whiteman remain to this day. Not to suggest that blacks aren't culpable, but the fact remains, when the Congo was trying to get on its feet, the USA and Belgium, using tools, stooges, Uncle Toms, usurped and murdered Lumumba, as they did throughout Africa. I DARE europe to be any less different, if a conqueror had done to it what it does to this day. And YES, I'm saying that white nations are aiding in this process of destruction, for a UNITED Africa is their worse nightmare.

[Illuminated7]

African are divided and thus weak with no sense of loyalty --- and so they get enslaved

[18gkhn18]

Same thing goes in arabia, look at irak saddam didn't had any weapons of mass destruction he wanted the stop the oil that was going to usa for cheap oney, bush said no thats our oil and he sends troops there for a ridiclousus reason, '' weapons of mass destruction''. Same thing with the sjeiks in saudi arabia. Worlds biggest trouble makers are the western world.

[18gkhn18]

Dude that is prejudice. You focking white people go to there land and when colonialization ended and lands got there independence, the white people thought, how the hell are we gonna receive those goods for cheap money.

And then modern colonialization comes, you goes dont help those cpountries, as long as they keep sending the goods to there countries, they dont care what happens there. You guys say send us the good and you can do whatever you like with the money

[ChristineLK]

All of you are the same as kabila, you're quick to talk, to criticize, and to justify yourselves, yet you do NOTHING to help your own people. Congolese men, women, and especially children are SUFFERING, so instead of criticizing politicians, do something, even if it's small, to help our people!

[smirko]

lazy niggers id say

[18gkhn18]

Its the fault of the western world. |This is mordern Colonialization, look at arabia, there duty is keeping cheep oil flowing into usa and the money that they have they can stick it in there pockets. THis is also hapening in africa, western presidents dont care,is they get the resources why should they help. So Smirko stuh up if you are talking about lazy niggers

[smirko]

fact is, that most african goverments literally dont care about their people, you can count the ones that do care in 1 hand.

its a fact that africa couldve now be what china is, because 50 years ago, they were on THE_SAME_LEVEL

why did asia boom and africa didnt? i know the answer but i cant tell u, a little hint: its starts with lazy and ends with niggers

[ChristineLK]

Vous tous vous etes pareilles comme kabila, vous etes les premiers a parler, a critiquer, et a se justifier, MAIS vous ne faites RIEN pour aider le congo. Quel embarassement vous etes pour le peuple Congolais, quel embarassement. Nous sommes des jeunes, a la place de critiquer les hommes politique, il est de notre responsabilite d'aider notre peuple.

[exm5fe03]

WE need the west. Even Chinese are trading with them. Incompetant corrupt leadership is a mayhem to Africa forever. Stop blaming Whites for our problems. They build civilization for us, the index of human development during colonization was upward, today in most of the african countries it is downward, except perhaps for Botswana. Zimbabwe is typical of african's leadership, by the way South Africa is also going that way.

[LifeFreedom13]

I agree with the need to stop the blame game. BUT it would be ignorant to discount it. The legacy of 'divide and rule' practiced by the colonzing powers is still being felt in Africa.

I disagree with the statement we NEED the West. Africa needs independence, that willingness to go crawling to the west has resulted in years of exploitation and greed.

[exm5fe03]

You may disagree with that statement, I am not trying to convince anyone, the fact is almost all poor countries are African or Black dominated countries and the opposite is well true for all whites( western) dominated countries. The only Black African country that has reached the level of fair society and well governance is Bostwana, the rest including Zimbabwe and South Africa are a complete disasters. You may claim Africa needs independance, well not at this era of globalization.

[pooms22]

you dont know what ur talking about.they didnt build civilazation to the congo. the belgiums commited genocide and killed 10 million of there people so get uf facts right.

[mynameisjunior]

the only reason congo is so fucked up is because Congolese have tendencies to accuse the west for their failur" attribution thoery" we have perfected in a very advance way. First, put all the ethnicism down considered everybody in Congo as Congolese.

[birhamu]

To boniodinga: are you crazy? 6 MILLIONS DE MORTS PUTAINS! kagame isn't a rare african visionary is just a criminal,un génocidaire...qu' il garde ses visions pour SON PAYS,le Rwanda et qu'il nous lâche.Tôt ou tard ils paieront pour leurs crimes. And WHO TOLD YOU THAT CONGO IS COMPLICATED ? The genocide of 1994 wasn't in Congo but in Rwanda "so just keep your tongue down " Kabila, Kagame and Nkunda: Congo don't need you so go back to Rwanda and make peace with your hutus brothers!

[boniodinga]

it's soo sad...kabila is genuine but he's not equal to the task..the Congo is too complicated...and must be divided...the Congolese hate Paul Kagame but that's one serious guy...he will gain from the division of the DRC but I'd rather he gains than the current situation, because that's one serious and rare african visionary!!!

[Kongowetu]

To Motherfucking boniodinga, scummy Tutsi and his fucking visionary, Kagame the DRCongo is one and will remain as such. in order for you, vile Rwandophone, to divide my country you have to exterminate all congolese people.since such thing is unrealistic, keep in your retarded mind that your project, a chimera in your impeding brain,will forever remain utopistic. While your small brain's figuring out how Rwanda'd expend into Congolese soil, you better think also how it'd go towards Tanzania. FU.

[Saamaale]

You filthy Hutu, son of a bytch, Tutsi's are Cushite and as such I cannot let you talk about them in that manner, I am Somali and we recognise the Tutsi's as KINGS of CONGO,RWANDA and over you Hutu.

The Cushetic are making a united Force very soon.

[LAND37]

Saamaale do you realize that thats the shit that keeps africa the way it is. One man grabs power see a racial problem and exploits it. Grow out of it, and Africa can attain its full potential. Unite and Africa will prosper divide and the wars will continue

[DiceRolla88]

@Saamaale Idiot

[DiceRolla88]

@boniodinga you are an idiot!

[DiceRolla88]

This video speaks volumes of where Congo was, and now is at this day and age. Once foreign interference leaves the Congo, then the Congolese as a people can concentrate on dealing with their internal struggles and differences.

[HuStLeBuniiie]

mes freres et soeur congolaise ....the way we are foreign countries study nd pray as hard as you can so one day we can go back to our country and come together and build it together it'll take years yes but we must try .....thank you for your time peace!

[Hatari78]

congo problems didn´t start in 1996 when rda&ugda came in, it started from a long time ago the world biggest companies has benefited billions of dollar from congo and they still doing it,mobutu lost and kabila came in but things remain the same war,poverty,weak economy...now they still talking and fighting for position,that´s why those propaganda against tutsi ppl cuz government fails to deal with their own,soo this days they only want to blame others..interahamwe´s must get out of congo

[dir33t]

God will bless my country one day(d.r.cOngo!)he knows how many innocent people are diying!he is watching...and those people who are killing my people..i bet you it will be one day God will pay them back!...and kagame yoo!!!zela kaka sur 100 jour 99 jour eza pona nayo mais 1 jour donc sepela na makambu ozo sa la mais il y aura 1 jour kaka okoma oyo nzambe ako sala yo!

[lgwelsh1]

The Congo has been plundered for hundreds of years. Nothing will change, the latest "friend" to come into the Congo is China with their 5 billion dollar offer to build some highways and a railroad for mineral rights. 5 billion to plunder 500 billion worth of resources...yeah thats a great deal for the Congo LOL

[tamaduni]

SAD

[bigomokero]

Actually you can go to everywhere in Congo I just came back from there with my friends from all over the world. What a wonderful country especially the eastern part( Kivu Region)

[ladouceureuse]

This video is showing the reality of Congoleses

[bluensunshine]

This is quite a subversive video and I like it! It shows what second wave, economic war looks like. Just what does Kabila mean by inviting in even more multinational thieves? That won't save his people any more than the video so graphically demonstrates is currently happening. Business is never gonna stop war, at best it will only shoo it away temporarily from its sphere of economic rape and environmental degradation. REAL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

[Jcville]

bluensunshine, I completly agree with you. words are always cheap. so far, I havent seen anything done better. Stopping the WAR is the best thing to do. who are those AFB anyway. Economy cant go forward as long as there is war. WAR brings destruction, not unity. The AFB are just thieves. Congo is a rich country and there are taking advantage of it. WAKE UP PEOPLE.

[balamatayi]

at every moment of the world, things change.

[Jcville]

Time is tickling for congo and its people. If the european, american, and other nations are behind terrorism in congo. what can the congolaise do? they already have problems with poverty that they can't get ride of with the new president in power. there used to be a time where revolution was done peacefully and it always succeeded. Nowadays, violence is not an option, cruelty is now a way to express anger. I sometimes wonder how congo will be like in the near future. past, now present, future???

[mbimbi9]

fuck you!,can people of ya race get off our backs, we ain't like getting allong wit you. Congo is just among the poorest countries in africa,ya country is included as well fucker!don't reply!!!

[jnngrg01]

U must be stupid CONGO(DRC) IS ONE OF THE RICHEST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! STUPID!!

[dir33t]

you re fuckin stupid!!!...your fuckin brain doesnt work gOod!...congo is one the richest country in the world!!!

[mldjamba]

mbimbi9, wow u r a waste of human life

[mbimbi9]

Shit!! who are u to say such bullshit to me, you better stup ya motherfucka tongue. you are pussy. don't fuck with me. i said congo is one of the poorest countries in africa,isn't that right? why people are starving then if we were rich,only looting that's our legacies. Fuck you nigga,you are really pussy for replying to my comment.

[mldjamba]

well that just show how much respect u have for urself cause if u really wanted to get ur point a cross u did have to call me a pussy. we may look poor but we are still rich.

[laurenciatv]

if u don't know what u are talking abt, just keep ur tongue down coz u sound very illetrate.

[Jcville]

great footage. very strong and powerful video. I think that the (old)/new, elected president lives in a fantasy world where there is still "peace" and tranquility. tell him to set one foot outside of his presidency and see how the people lives and how they respond to him. I bet you that so called "peace" won't be coming out of his mouth again.

[jalloh03]

damn right brother

[etymonk]

BANDE DE SORCIER!!!

[etymonk]

MERDE!!!My heart is bleeding. Y'all should always remember earth is only a way to a greater life. My heart goes out to those poor innocent people who are being killed, but I have the faith that nothing will be left unpunished. The justice of the GOOD LORD will prevail

[micpets]

First and Foremost what are they offering the business community? Secondly they're talking about peace when Kabila spent time in uganda as a student and a cab driver in TZ before being made president. The whole thing is a

joke as I usually don't like to criticise my brothers because I consider we AFRICANS are simply BAD as running our own country. Forget

whiteman bullshit because they go home and we are given the leftovers. Let's work with what Thank You.

[charly1902]

I agree with you. Africans should not look to the world for help. All africans should realize the will have to build up their own nations. Some national staff working for ngo's like msf don't give a damn about their work, cause they know if they get fired, they can work for an other ngo. They don't realise they have to work hard and good, not for the ngo or themselves, but for their country, and the people who count on the health system. That's what I think is Africa's biggest problem.

[Jcville]

yeah "a mind is a terrible thing to waste" I think that one of the important issue is first loving our country as one (patriotism) cause how can we build something if it's going to be destroyed/stolen tomorrow. we need some minded people (leadership) who can take on responsibilities and achieve goals along with us as Congolese. Now we are divided some people wants this and the others want that. this probably why we rely on other races for help or support and that's why we have wars, corruptions.

[sandrospinelli]

que mundo vivemos... ? Colonialism is violence.

[abbersram]

You should all search "keith harmon snow congo" on you tube and listen to his interview.  Very enlightening

[artist4africa]

The song is by a woman named Desarie or Dezaire. I think she's from Barbados. Her album "Fya" is one of the best reggae albums I've ever heard.

[baltazareneef]

they are talking to have been in same school with other,witch one?SARKOZY?BUSH?TONY BLAIR?ok we take it,you went the same school,the other are showing the value of the school they went in there country ,what about you?are you showing that in congo ?when ever your,are you showing that level of school in Congo?Kabila said " I beleve this more less what the ....... "can any body explain me that??? we are far from the reality ,this is stuiped a level of a president of a country ?

[baltazareneef]

Kabila is dreaming,he has 2 understand that time is up he can't speak peace in Congo when gangs prople can get in his sister house and shot her,what about people who are not from his familly how secure are there going to be ? just rubish ,how can the governement could not protect her as cityzen ?

[justicelevi]

The reality is Kabila is courting Western companies and billions are still leaving the country with just a trickle for the people. See democracynow . org for a more balanced view. The host Amy Goodman interviews a representitive from an organisation called 'Friends of the Congo' . Search for 'Deadliest Conflict' on youtube (it should be the first video that comes up). Or check of the 'friends of the Congo' website.

[BPP66]

what is the name of that song playing?

[Londres13]

What kind of peace is Kabila talking about? Is he blind or he is Acting? Please tell him that Morgan Stanley(murderer) is not a subject of glory for congolese. I want him to know that the time of adventure is gone,we need a serious President who can firt end the War then call upon serious Investers,ect.

[mbimbi9]

dude,you are right we ain't got any investers in CONGO,just go Downtown in kinshasa you'll see. there is nothing!!! look at other african countries such as Kenya,south Africa.We are far behind those country. but one thing is sure we'll not be suffering like this forever.one day as it has happened for african americans to have a first black president,it would happen to our country to develop,to get advantage of our own natural ressources. Toko longa un jour,do not loose your faith dawg!

[LinQueMusic]

This Breaks My Heart... Hard One To Swallow!!!

[catpoop7]

Excelent job man.

[artist4africa]

It's only so dangerous in the Eastern part of the country. You can go to Kinshasa, Lubumbashi or Ba Congo and you will discover that it is a great country with beautiful people.

[hingabugabo]

The dude complaining that colonial rulers didn't let africans go out after dark is called YERODIA. A strange bastard who came to power from nowhere in 1996.He is remembered for his public calls to other congolese to kill tutsis. "la vermine tutsie" as he said.

[mbimbi9]

he said so cause tutsi are killing us too, they follow what those white folks ask them. Now what do u expect him to say or to feel towards TUTSTi.let him express his feelings

[hingabugabo]

QUELLE PROPAGANDE PARTISANE IDIOTE! Les Blancs vs ont exploité et maintenant ils vs envoient un "terroriste-tutsi-déchu" nommé NKUNDA pr vs recoloniser c'est ça???. très mal joué en ts cas. QUEL MELI-MELO! LES MALHEURS DU CONGO S'APPELLENT INCOMPETENCE CORRUPTION. SANS PARLER DE L'HYSTERIE XENOPHOBE ENCOURAGéE PAR DES POLITICIENS POURTANT INSTALLéS AU POUVOIR PAR DES ARMEES ETRANGERES: RWANDA, ANGOLA,ZIMBWAMBWE,UGANDA ETC... n'importe quoi!!! triste.

[artist4africa]

Go to google, type in "who is funding Nkunda" and you'll see the truth. No need for name calling, it only makes YOU look bad.

[brunisablan]

This is a great piece of work. I am sending it to as many people as I can. BRUNI

[brunisablan]

I am changing my view on this video. It is very conflicting, and it seems that it was done with an agenda, and not to show the truth about anything. BRUNI SABLAN

[kindu2006]

And they say the revolution will not be televised! thank u for sending me this video

[crabapple548]

I think that this is a very good video, a lot of the time people will ignore videos about problems in the world, they will see black people on t.v who are suffering and group it into "Africa" which is a huge continent and just dismiss it. Too much ignorance and desire for power is what has caused this mess. 2200 deaths a day for 4000 days! This revolution should be televised.

[moontwo]

Nice video! Well done!!
