viva congo

its a good video, but i have a slight problem with the stat that 11 000 children are with armed groups, 40% of which are girls. I understand that women are at a high risk of rape, but that is not made obvious when that stat is told, and it still means that 60% are boys, and they probably are not getting off scot free.

other then that i found this video very good and am happy to be finding out that there are organizations out there that care for the people, not just the government, like the IMF.

It's easier to blame the west, and some goddamn ignorant idiots in the west can scream at us, saying that it's all our fault, seeing as they same can't be done in China or Russia, or you'l end up dead.

Lasse-fairez capitalism for the way. No, I'm serious.

western countries are the reason so much shit is happening in africa and iraq and other eastern countried they think their needs and resources and whatever are most important.

Zinc is found in congo and who digs it out? children for $2 and the faggots in canada just found out now but their making billions and congo my home country dont know that this Zinc can make the country more wealthy they get tricked into giving ti away for little price.

China is sucking up vast amount of African natural resources and even supplies weapons so the killing can continue but Africans never complain about China or Russian weapons used.......
