    A Congolese here, born and raised. Can’t fathom how DRCongo is still in this dire situation... But it’s my country and I love it. I sometimes do presentations in Japanese schools mostly and they seem to love what they see and hear about my country. We have a lot to offer to the world. And everyone can be happy and live peacefully. There is no reason for people to suffer in a country that has it all. But this is the result of human nature of greed. Congo is already rising… 🙌🏽🇨🇩💯

      Oh, check South Africa or Eswatini. I lived in Eswatini for 19 years and the wealth disparity is staggering. The city is divided into 4, those living in the city are middle income, slightly out the city are the suburbs and this is where high earners and ultra rich gates communities are found. Once you pass this area, you then reach the townships where the poorest live in multitudes, outside that are "semi-rural settlements" with some few mansions. In high school just mention the area you live in and we can automatically estimate what your household income might be and the profession of your parents.

      Good things? You mean westerners are tired of exposing their people and are trying to expand. "Oh this is how the rich live and this is how the poor live, truly horrible thing that doesn't happen in our country" "This what the rich did to become rich" This is how they took advantage of the poor people." Westerners always have to establish moral superiority. Taking advantage of the less fortunate or knowledgeable doesn't exist there. Income gaps don't exist in the west either right? What have you actually learned from this? That the congolese people haven't lost hope?

    I worked onboard ships and have had the fortune to visit many countries in Africa during my time. There was a stark difference in quality of life between East Africa and West Africa.
    East Africa with minimal resources is advanced and have been able to bank on a lot of opportunities in the Indian Ocean. West Africa, is where the resources are but it’s staggering to see the wealth disparity. They need to get the resources under their control and be a bit more business oriented.

I knew it could happen, and I was able to go on to make millions, but I’m sure it doesn’t go that way for most people.

Such a sad state of affairs when impoverished countries lose their budding entrepreneurs to a wealthier country. No country will ever rise above poverty, etc... when the "Movers and Shakers" remove potential growth from their homeland by leaving. I don't like that self proclaimed, "Prophet" though. He's without a doubt, a sidewinder. But? He gives hope to many, irregardless if he's a fake, and sometimes that's all one needs to rise above and stay the course. Without hope? All is lost. So?

    Well, when i was a kid, i just saw how amazing the work in the congo was. As adult, today,, we have very educated raised in other countries but entirely congolese, who work for the US military at spaces as foreign nationals who are just amazing very highky educated workers, like more educated than most we know.

      Because people like me, I like to say, but people that asked me to observe their work, I said, in the past if you love the Congolese, then you help them hold legitmate space correctly, known as how those workers exist.

    This isn’t new documentary. Kinshasa doesn’t no longer look like that. This definitely not in 2023. This around 2015

    Riches money luxury are not allowed only for the western world. God showers blessings on both poor and the rich, BLACK and white. May God bless Africa

      We only wish our super rich people would contribute to the job market and the economy. African solutions for African problem. This is what the West did..... now look at their countries.
