  • We have here such a complex situation that it would take years to understand what you people call "congo". The first major question is what is "Congo"? Has ever "Congo" existed? what is a people without a identity, a culture, a traditon, a history? No "Congo" has never existed. "Congo" was created by white colonials not because there was any endevaour to gather people together and make their lives happier, it was a strategy to get as much land, as much mineral-rich geography.

  • @Ghosta It was the belgians in a race against their european imperial counterparts who wanted to bag something for themselves that created it. They didn't care about who was there before that plan, their kingdoms, their sense of identity, their customs, their way of being. The bakongo in the delta are as different tothe bembe on lake Tnaganyika as portuguese are to kosovans. The Tetela in the North are as different to the bemba in Lubumbashi as finnish are to ukranians.

  • @Ghosta Guess how I would feel if someone from Kinshasa speaking lingala and living on the shores of the Kongo river came to my town in Kalemie and asked me to see him as my fellow countryman? That's what happened but what was wrong about my language, my kingdom , my country, my way of doing things, my lignages, my clans, my political organisation, my art. Why should I see myself as congolese? These whites come to me and tell me: YOU ARE FROM CONGO! what is Congo? I'm bembe.

  • @Ghosta Whilst the whites are raping our land and looting it, I am left with these people who are different tome and made to pledge allegiance to their corrupt policies designed to serve their swahili, bakongo, bangala, batetela, bakasai supporters. The whole situation is a shambles. these people have not only been raped physically but their whole sense of being has been uprooted, confused, stupefied for centuries.

  • @Ghosta I am not advocating for tribal rule bcz first of all "tribal" was introduced by whites as a condescending coined word to design our people. how would catalans, castillans, irish or ukraninas feel if you constantly called them tribes? No the democraty, the western democratie that the west want to import in our nations, the bitter african-americans who have never dealt with their uprooting and want africans to reflect their dream mothe Africa are not needed;

  • @Ghosta "Congo" has never existed. Lunda, Kongo, Bembe,etc.. kingodms have. There can be a new way , graoundbreaking on a philosophical level to rethink the land that we call "Congo" now and the poeple that live on it. They need to reclaim who they were, their sense of property, identity and language. They need to get together and review in a modern, transparent, pro-active way how to reshape the boundaries of their nations, and I mean "nations" in the very sense of that word.

  • @Ghosta Some will tell you; Oh! No! there too many "tribes" and "clans" it wouldn't work and that's where you got it wrong so badly you can't even see the initial cut. The white man, when he arrived in the "congo" when he heard: your languages, your way of idetification couldn't give two monkeys what you were talking about. this was the late 19th century, early 20th century. You were not even humans properly then so imagine what he thought of your talk.

  • @Ghosta he just got it so wrong it's unreal. Imagine I go to Newcastle and people there say: "we are jordies"; I go to Liverpool: we are scousers, I go to Whitechapel:we are cockneys. If these were africans at that time , the whites would have written: scouser tribe(language cockney), cockney tribe(language), cockney) etc.. menaing so many people got made into different race, tribes when actually they were the same people only with varian dialects.

  • @Ghosta or the other way round, natinos got dumped together or taken from their motheland and made to create new ones that didn't hold any sense. all this not only created millions of tribes, clans, races but confused these people who were forced to accept the whole concept and wrongly redefine themselves as such but also on the greater scale as "congolese". A COMPLETE RAPE OF THE "SELF". But, yes! it would be hard and time-consuming but it can be done.

  • @Ghosta nations in the land we call "Congo" can restroe their sense of identity, freedom and self-determination as before and join the rest of today's world and enjoy the wonderful richness they live on. But it doens't happen all this has created tremendous sense of desperation bcz there is no one who they look up to to show them that they belong, so they don't have a will to value who they are, pledge allegiance to someone who truly cares, so they don't care themselves.KAOS! DEATH,WAR!

  • @Ghosta Congo is 80 time bigger dan Belgium it took moore dan a year before Belgium could finally make a government end 2011 because of their (tribal) problems

    (flemish and waloon ) Congo has nearly 300 different ethnic groups
