I am from India and am here in DRC for a short stay of 7 days. This is my first time in Africa. People here are so friendly. But the corruption is a real problem here... As soon as I landed in Lubumbashi International airport I went for immigration counter.. there was an officer checking my passport and Visa. He was asking for an printout of an Document which I had as a soft copy. But I was not having it. The officer asked me to come closer and asked me like "Give me Money". I started asking why should I give money(with a little louder tone) he started to change the topic. So corrupted. But other than that I loving my stay here.♥️
The "right leadership"? It needs more than that. It needs a cultural shift that values life over power, and equality and love over entitlement and unforgiveness. Leadership alone cannot provide this. The problem is far more hard to tackle than you suggest.
@@jays7318 right leadership can lead this...silly goose. it is all about leadership. Someone has to lead the way whether it is to manage money or ensure equality.

@@Cariboulogne Ohh fuck off with your myths. Did you do research? Or are you just jumping on the "racism feel good" narrative. Did they live like Teletubbies? Or were the tribes duking it out for every scrap of forest mouse or tuber, while small kingdoms had their politics in-between the green?
@@Cariboulogne Okay, so a casual glance through wikipedia of pre-colonial Congo refutes your bullshit. You realise that you're feeding into the narrative that "white" people are somehow more evil than others right? And going as far as absolving all harm after colonialism as not the fault of the current perpetrators, which is really setting a super low bar for black people, like they're poorly trained dogs or something and not full human beings with sentience, a conscience, and mental faculties, somehow forever adrift cause white people were "once there" being evil dicks for rubber and they can't muster original thought to do things differently. I really think you have a deeply racist mindset and hope you get yourself looked at.
demammoet honestly tho if you look at history whites have a much much higher % of stealing landing land he probably upset because he sees this white guy go and is treated like royalty unlike every citizen
@@demammoet If you say "Black people..... need to grow up and build something" you put a whole group of people into one box and hence are racist. Funny how people that accuse others to be racist are the bigger racists.

It's regular policies for the USA empire and its Nato lapdogs to prop up military regimes and psycho dictators.... that started with the bankrolling of the nazis , a concocted 2nd WW ,after which some came out with flying colors and wouldn't change history even if they could.....

I have always loved the Congolese people since the late 90s when they came to Kenya as refugees. I left Kenya around that time though, when came back to visit, I went for a haircut and the Congolese barber was the most polite/humble man I had ever met in a long time. I tipped him "heavily" and in a week I went back just to bless him. I will never forget how grateful he was.

I remember when my Criminology professor recommended that I wrote my thesis on King Leopold of Belgium. I was shocked that I wasn’t taught about these things before. I guess it is a way to keep some people ignorant and myopic
Masha Zheleznov so who deems what “important to know” and so forth? You’re acting as if the education system provides individuals with the tools to properly analyze and deconstruct the various narratives.
Masha Zheleznov so what about the other aspects of the world? Most of my fellow classmates in Canada aren’t cognizant or knowledgeable of this. Most of them do not even know about the Starlight tours that happen in Canada against the Indigenous People so for you to say that is skewed to say the least. Unless you go out and search for these information you will not if ever see it in the news. Maybe, it is a way to deflect and negate the plights of others or it might be a coping mechanism for those in power 🤷🏽
Masha Zheleznov why isn’t the same due diligence taken and or given when educating people about the exploits of Christopher Columbus? Why is it that people are selective-as to should be taught? Thats the basic premise of my assertion. Why?
Masha Zheleznov I like how optimistic and positive you’re and that in itself is an aspect of privilege which is not offered to a lot of people. As such you can look at the glass as half full whilst many see the latter.
So it took a virus for you to come here? Why? So that means that after the virus you will forget what you learned and become ignorant again until the next virus. Very sad for you.
THANK YOU for speaking openly about the GENOCIDE King Leopold II perpetrated in the Congo. It is to this day one of the very worst human tragedies in history, and yet barely anyone even knows about it.
AGREE! History is written by the victors, so you can only imagine all that has been left out. Reading through these comments, some are clearly disturbing. The sheer hate will never go away, but for those that have eyes that see, just read between the lines, when history is told by victor. The raping, the pillaging, the free labor & some expect the circumstances of these tribes, people's & lands to be different. All I can do is hope & pray, the ONES that inflicted so much hate & strife on another, suffer the same fate in their after life for eternity!

@@Marisolita_95 Cant agree more, the few in power live like gods, they party like there is no tomorrow and own the most palatial of homes while the poor cant afford food, access to healthcare and education. I am changing what I can, I am working hard in my own right to try and change the life of my people here in Kenya, I even vied with such a beautiful manifesto and attainable goals but the people have been poisoned by handouts, I could not clinch the seat.

THEY ARE PLUNDERING ITS NATURAL RESOURCES: GOLD, DIAMONDS, COBALT ETC. UNTIL IT IS ALL GONE AND THEY WILL KILL ANYONE WHO LIVES THERE OR GETS IN THEIR WAY. YOU NEED TO SPEAK TO THE LEADERS. CRY OUT TO YOUR LEADERS AND TELL THEM YOU NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS TO THE CONGO. YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THIS COUNTRY IMMEDIATELY. NOW YOU HAVE INVITED THE CHINESE AND THEY WILL BE WORSE.
I swear this is one on the most inspiring documentaries ever! Such a rich country and so much poverty! Greed was the key factor there. You will rise Africa the youth is getting brighter and wiser day by day. They are the future leaders..

It is painful to see how politics and oppression kept this country and almost whole Africa in dire poverty even though they have wealth of natural resources. I see positive changes coming. Best wishes to our African brothers. Let's Go !!!!

I am from India and am here in DRC for a short stay of 7 days. This is my first time in Africa. People here are so friendly.
But the corruption is a real problem here... As soon as I landed in Lubumbashi International airport I went for immigration counter.. there was an officer checking my passport and Visa. He was asking for an printout of an Document which I had as a soft copy. But I was not having it. The officer asked me to come closer and asked me like "Give me Money". I started asking why should I give money(with a little louder tone) he started to change the topic. So corrupted.
But other than that I loving my stay here.♥️
If Congo has the right leadership, it could be one of the richest countries in the world. And even help some countries that are struggling.
The "right leadership"? It needs more than that. It needs a cultural shift that values life over power, and equality and love over entitlement and unforgiveness. Leadership alone cannot provide this. The problem is far more hard to tackle than you suggest.
@@jays7318 right leadership can lead this...silly goose. it is all about leadership. Someone has to lead the way whether it is to manage money or ensure equality.

Wealth of a country is not only the natural resources but the human resource as well
They look at it from a "western" perspective. Wealth has nothing to do with materialism.
What I found interesting is there was no mass killing disease, hunger, misery and poverty before the white man sets his foot in Africa.
@@Cariboulogne Ohh fuck off with your myths. Did you do research? Or are you just jumping on the "racism feel good" narrative.
Did they live like Teletubbies? Or were the tribes duking it out for every scrap of forest mouse or tuber, while small kingdoms had their politics in-between the green?
@@Cariboulogne Okay, so a casual glance through wikipedia of pre-colonial Congo refutes your bullshit. You realise that you're feeding into the narrative that "white" people are somehow more evil than others right? And going as far as absolving all harm after colonialism as not the fault of the current perpetrators, which is really setting a super low bar for black people, like they're poorly trained dogs or something and not full human beings with sentience, a conscience, and mental faculties, somehow forever adrift cause white people were "once there" being evil dicks for rubber and they can't muster original thought to do things differently.
I really think you have a deeply racist mindset and hope you get yourself looked at.
demammoet honestly tho if you look at history whites have a much much higher % of stealing landing land he probably upset because he sees this white guy go and is treated like royalty unlike every citizen
@@demammoet If you say "Black people..... need to grow up and build something" you put a whole group of people into one box and hence are racist. Funny how people that accuse others to be racist are the bigger racists.
Africa is NOT POOR BUT IS POORLY MANAGED.
@Jean-Ian Simard after all this time you'd think africa would somehow have a good management, but nope
*@Samuel Seabela*
.....and on top of that, sucked dry by a white vampire.....let's see how _you_ get on top of that....
When Lumumba and after that Mubutu (who was stupid enough to refuse to say uncle (just like Sadam)announced to take control of things and see how the Congo's riches should benefit the Congo's population ....mercenaries were send in to create chaos....
It's regular policies for the USA empire and its Nato lapdogs to prop up military regimes and psycho dictators....
that started with the bankrolling of the nazis , a concocted 2nd WW ,after which some came out with flying colors and wouldn't change history even if they could.....
I mean the people are still poor bc of poor management
Samuel Seabela Africa is unimaginable poor, soon there will be anarchy because of warlords and population boom. The military training, uses of weapons, surviving in the desert and jungle are more important things than learning or school, you will see because this is the future.
@Jean-Ian Simard It's not the foreign entities that recruit child soliders to rape, kill and make war on each other.

The interview with Mbutu,s daughter, is simply sad. That level of denial and unaccountability is something that stops these nations from progressing.
She is a 'Princess' after all. She was probably sheltered from all her father was doing. But as an adult she ought to have known. Pathetic.
Because she is rotten like her dad. Actually I’m surprised how she is still alive. . . . Picasso on the wall....

I have always loved the Congolese people since the late 90s when they came to Kenya as refugees. I left Kenya around that time though, when came back to visit, I went for a haircut and the Congolese barber was the most polite/humble man I had ever met in a long time. I tipped him "heavily" and in a week I went back just to bless him. I will never forget how grateful he was.
Praying for Congo that one day it will be one of the most shining country in Africa. They have enough resources to feed the world 🌎
The first step is to get rid of corruption, or rather politicians who are corrupt to the core. This would be a good start.
@Truth is my sword 🗡️ YT How come it's 'wrong' if I say 'get rid of corruption & politicians who are corrupted to the core'? I got your point, but it's not just that simple.

I read novel " Heart of Darkness" was written by Joseph Conrad which is about the colonial oppression in Congo and pleased to enjoy the whole episode. Long live Congo! From Bangladesh. 🇧🇩🇧🇩
He took a negative tone toward Conrad which reveals the literary ignorance of this show's producers.
I remember when my Criminology professor recommended that I wrote my thesis on King Leopold of Belgium. I was shocked that I wasn’t taught about these things before. I guess it is a way to keep some people ignorant and myopic
Masha Zheleznov so who deems what “important to know” and so forth? You’re acting as if the education system provides individuals with the tools to properly analyze and deconstruct the various narratives.
Masha Zheleznov so what about the other aspects of the world? Most of my fellow classmates in Canada aren’t cognizant or knowledgeable of this. Most of them do not even know about the Starlight tours that happen in Canada against the Indigenous People so for you to say that is skewed to say the least. Unless you go out and search for these information you will not if ever see it in the news. Maybe, it is a way to deflect and negate the plights of others or it might be a coping mechanism for those in power 🤷🏽
Masha Zheleznov why isn’t the same due diligence taken and or given when educating people about the exploits of Christopher Columbus? Why is it that people are selective-as to should be taught? Thats the basic premise of my assertion. Why?
Masha Zheleznov I like how optimistic and positive you’re and that in itself is an aspect of privilege which is not offered to a lot of people. As such you can look at the glass as half full whilst many see the latter.

THANK YOU for speaking openly about the GENOCIDE King Leopold II perpetrated in the Congo. It is to this day one of the very worst human tragedies in history, and yet barely anyone even knows about it.
AGREE! History is written by the victors, so you can only imagine all that has been left out. Reading through these comments, some are clearly disturbing. The sheer hate will never go away, but for those that have eyes that see, just read between the lines, when history is told by victor. The raping, the pillaging, the free labor & some expect the circumstances of these tribes, people's & lands to be different. All I can do is hope & pray, the ONES that inflicted so much hate & strife on another, suffer the same fate in their after life for eternity!
I am African American and I was unaware of the horror our Ancestors in Africa had to live through. No matter where my Ancestors lived they suffered. I watch The Dr Mumbai Show on RUclips and just heard about the horror of this man.
