Namibia: Africa’s New Far West | Genocide, Illegal Settlements & Chinese Mafia (Documentary)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2023
- Namibia has the third highest levels of income inequality in the world. 6% of the population own 70% of the land and here, the wounds of German Colonisation run deep. Between 1904 -1908, the Germans established concentration camps where the indigenous Herero and Nama people were interned. Up to 80% of them died in what Germany later recognised as the first genocide of the 20th Century. While the descendants of these victims, like Karvita, live in illegal settlements in constant fear of eviction, the descendants of these colonists continue to own most of the land and have no problem justifying their inheritance.
Most of Namibia’s vast natural resources are owned or controlled by foreigners. The diamond industry is dominated by DeBeers and the ruling Swapo party, widely seen as corrupt, is propped up by its historic ally: China. The construction and uranium industries are controlled by the Chinese and documents leaked in 2021 revealed that North Korea was illegally subcontracted to build the country’s State House.
Most of the country is sparsely populated, enabling nature to flourish. It’s home to one to one of the greatest wildlife populations in the world, including the only free-roaming black rhinos. But these animals are constantly threatened by the Chinese mafia while global warming is increasing desertification, threatening indigenous communities.

The same old and tired African story: poverty in the land of plenty. There is something inherently wrong with our rulers.
There is more to it than meets the eye. I will ask you to read The Silent Coup by Claire Provost, Matt Kennard.
Plus ask yourself why is any African President who tries to improve his country meets with untimely death?
@@eekiane1921So they can't hold out their hands to beg anymore!
& why is it consistently corrupt leaders who gain power financed by the west
@@eekiane1921btw all of namibias are alive and are living well
Our so called rulers have rulers 🤦🏽♂️
I am a young Media Practitioner from and based in Botswana. We are direct neighbors with Namibia in Southern Africa. I must say this is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen telling an African story the way it is. In fact in my hometown of Mahalapye in Botswana, we actually grew up with the Herero people. They have a ward of their own called Herero not far from where I grew up. Our ancestors gave the land to their ancestors after they flee from Namibia fearing genocide attacks from the Germans. I literally grew up and schooled with these people. They are really passionate about their culture and work tirelessly towards preserving it. Big up to the producers of this documentary....
Namibia ha se naha, ke serapa sa liphoofolo. Ke ka lebaka leo merafo e seng ea Maafrika, 'me ba buisana ka lipuo tsa linaha tse ling bakeng sa khoebo.
In my brief research, Botswana comes across as being low corruption and pretty much an ideal model country. How accurate would that be and if not what history or stories should I be looking up?
@@daggaboom pretty accurate. Botswana is an amazing country. Low corruption compared to other bigger countries yes, but not from a Motswana point of view. One of the most if not the most peaceful and politically stable countries in Africa
@@tefosouthside what are Botswana’s biggest problems?
For example I imagine relying on South Africa electricity is a problem or will be soon. I also don’t understand why South Africans aren’t just going there to get away from the violence and corruption.
@@daggaboom Botswana's population is fairly small so Id assume not a lot of power would need to be generated, thats just an assumption btw. We do have the occasional power and water cuts but the government does a good job in informing citizens well beforehand even though in some places its a major issue, going months sometimes years with no water. I think the main reason South Africans dont relocate necessarily to Botswana is the lack of resources. People in SA are accustomed to a certain type of lifestyle and they probably think they cant get it in Botswana because SA is well developed and years ahead in terms of opportunity creation whereas in BW, its more of a continuing process. BW is like a big, retro town, slowly moving towards modernity and SA is like a major city thats been thriving but encountered some hurdles along the way but truthfully I couldn't tell you why they dont move here because most people from their side and our side are one and the same, related by blood and everything.
Exploitation of any country is wrong...the Namibian ppl deserve to live & be happy on their own land 🙏
Power to the ppl
Then I suggest they all return to Nigeria then!
The black man is not fit to manage the continent. Wealth is created not inherited . Africans we like to inherite
Ask the SA government to help your government build a strong railnetwork system 😂😂😂😂😂
Sad that it is the Namibian government exploiting it's own people. Research the Namibian fishrot scandal.
@@PhansikhongolzaWho should return where?? What are you saying.. you’ll pay for what said. Mark my words
They can not afford the their own resources!!! They own their own resources!!! This is maddening!!!
i grew up in Namibia and feel like im Namibian ... i hate to see how foreign countries exploit Namibia.
I greatly agreed that many are poor and few holds more and control all.
He is riding on a horse talking about we are ready for war... they must give us our land back... what a joke.
Germany just "pulled up" with tanks, warplanes
It starts with the government of that country. They need to learn to say no
@@Pchris411you mean the faulty and malfunctioning tanks? They’re needed in Ukraine
isn't it the status quo local African government shaking hands, too?
The exploitation of Africa is still ongoing to this day, that means the revolution for Africa's freedom must continue. It is surprising to see Namibia still have a colonial issue even after their revolution, what did the people achieve. All the leaders of Africa are the problem of Africa. Since the so-called independence not one African leader disbands one inch of their borders with their Neighbour's, and none have since got rid of the colonial laws they inherited, they used those same colonial laws and borders to rule and govern their people, that there should show you how serious they are about Pan-Africanism, Africa for Africans and only more Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger can truly bring Africa its freedom especially when they can tell Europe and the west no more, no more go away
They switch from colonial oppression to government corruption. Sad many just allow the government to get away with it, while trying to blame Germans or something else.
Panafricanism is the same as communism!
Most exploitation of Africa is by corrupt African leaders. Botswana being one of the few exceptions.
How dare this imperialist say that Namibia didn't have a name coz the Europeans didn't know it existed! How arrogant! And how dare he call it 'dark'! Typical European colonial mentality!
negative
Bruh …
What is sickening is that those guys have to pay money to visit and pay respect their ancestors in their own country. Sad and outrageous...
Namibians pay to visit the graves of their falling ancestors? YES REBELLIION! REBELLIION!
Fine line between investment and exploitation.
@@vincentohuwuh2351 and the puppets must go now !!!! Government of today is acting for their masters not the masses of poor Africans..just imagine 6% of the Germans own near the whole of Namibia !!! Is sickening to see that Robert Mugambe R.I.P for fighting for your people
Imagine paying to visit a grave of your own and someone will call that investment. One of these days capitalists will live in graveside on purpose.
@@deonkotzee6641 What investments? It's pure exploitation!
I can’t not deal with this story. It’s sickening to my heart
De Beers getting richer, Chinese getting richer, the Germans and Jews together genocide Namibians. more than15 Million people of Namibia.
You are welcome to come to South Africa. ANC have destroyed what once was a 1st world country. Come see how they have degraded and starved their own. Namibia is run and owned by it’s own people. Yet the poor starve. Wake up and see for yourself.
@@grahamleigh8398 They are waking up now Africa 💪🏾🙏🏽
@faithford9243 • "I can't not deal with this story"! You say. Funny!
(Edit)
Are you American? Same story there with the Indians - Apachies, Navajo etc.
Or are you British? Remember the British who did the same all over the world - America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, India, Hong-Kong,,,,, damnn there is no space to list them all.
Or may you be "African American" - Remember spreading out from Central Africa killing by the thousands the Koi and San people south of you right across from Namibia in the West, to the Eastern shores of Limpopo and down to the most Southern tip of Africa?
You do not sound French or Dutch or Spanish or Portuguese- they all did the same across the world.
Stop acting so innocent. We are all part of some murderous greed of the past. I am a decendant of Israel direct from Jacob.
Now deal with your own atrocities, miss Innocent.
Rubbish about South africa being a 1st world country. ANC is a sham of course but who owns Land and industry? Certainly not the majority which is so called native.
I think it is time for Namibian to wake up and not enrich the foreigners but enjoy the riches. Namibians wake up! God help you.
Thank you guys for this great documentary, may for you be blessed for future endeavors!
The international community should Make the de Beers group pay some of the Billions of dollars they made back into the black community
Do not forget, de Beers is the almighty Oppenheimer. Oh vey!
As a Namibian, being in a country where I can't afford land, it's sickening... Human kind is corrupt and full of pride....
Go to botwana then
It's okay. Y'all destructing everything in Africa
It is very sad if that is how it is because your country is so huge compare to how big the population is,each should have a big land.
Thank you for the authenticity of the documentary.
The whites eats at the table and the blacks eat outside so messed up breaks my heart and I wish they would stop hurting the poor animals.
I was LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT! At that point i knew their so called "good intentions" is just another gaslighting smoke screen
This boils my blood
Why? Where is the problem?
Thanks, very good.& this boils my Blood.
You have great content.
First of all I would like to thank the producers of this video,it assists to raise questions as to why a resourceful country with few occupants is still struggling.
The way I see it as a Namibian,we are failing ourselves,we want to be given all the time,but we don’t want to work for it nor work together as Namibians.
1. We still have tribal issues
2. “Everyone for himself” attitude
3. Greed amongst Namibians
4. Government support system needs amendments
And so much more needs to change.
Did you know that majority of people in Katutura are coming from families that own farms?but they choose to abandon these farms and come to the city in search for jobs that end up exploiting them? (Just an observation).
Us as Namibians we need to wake up and work together as one,if there is hunger..we must fight it together!
For instance why are we not transforming our lands to build green schemes for the local people?what’s stopping us is ourselves.
This documentary, which is good, does also inherently blame the colonials for present day problems. How were the German colonials involved in Fish Rot, or other corruption and cases of state looting?
Sure there are present day issues which can be connected to colonial wrongs. But current management of the system, which is causing the income disparities, are not colonial vestiges. These are current problems perpetuated by current rulers. It's too easy to beat the dead colonial horse and use its skin to cover up our own present day ineptitudes.
So in short, I agree with you. The problems we have now require introspection, about who and what it means to be modern Namibians and how we can solve our problems ourselves. No longer blaming others and using it as the easy path to justification of our situation.
@@decker625 Honestly,we are failing ourselves. And the funny part is that all these current decision makers will not be there when the ship begins sinking.
Firstly, the Namibian government quickly went Africa in the Fishrot scandal. Pocketing money that should have gone to the poorest of residents. Secondly, the poor residents now has resorted to robbing tourist as a means of augmenting their income. Killing their main source of income. The Namibian government can't point a finger, because it was them that started the steeling spree.
The problem with Namibia, is similar to that of Zimbabwe and South Africa. There is a de facto one party State in each of these countries. The political parties which "delievered Independence have been in power from day one and feel that they are entitled to govern regardless of the results on the ground. The people come elections forget that nothing has changed for them and are coerced into voting for them.
Once you start to vote for a different political party, and actually elect that political party then change will start to appear. The electorate has the power to demand change which benefits it and if it doesn't come it must change the govt. With the wealth Namibia has and the small population, Namibians should be living better than the Arabs in Dubai!!! Wake up brothers before it's too late. You owe nothing to no country other than to yourselves!!
Are you kidding dude. Even if the namibians were to work together there is so much bureaucracy and powers that be behind the scenes that already have everything distributed amongst themselves what opportunity does a namibian really have in their own land???
They are making us pay to visit our graves 👀😡
Yeah and there's nothing you can do about it
The Land should be given back to the Namibians
I blame the presidents of these countries for failure to order the return or annexure of this land by the governments. Without land, you can’t build wealth unlike what this guy is saying.
Automatic response. Blame the victim
The governments of South Africa and Namibia is the biggest land owners. Let them give some land away. The governments wants to keep their own people poor for a reason.
the land that has been returned to the government has rottet and is not being used to this day?? what use is returning the land if the people cannot and wont use the land to make something out of it.
Without land you cannot build wealth? The most rich countries are smaller than a single region of Namibia ... Swtizerland, Netherlands, Lichestain, Luxemburg, Taiwan, Singapore, ... The problem is not the land is the mindset
Just a question. If you say the germans owns the majority of monitory share of diamonds, please can you elaborate on how this is possible? Debmarine Namibia, the joint venture marine diamond prospecting and recovery company, owned in equal shares by the Namibian government and the De Beers Group, increased its contributions to government by 147% in 2022.27 Mar 2023. So the problem obviously is not the germans living in namibia, but the government. Should the government not spread this wealth onto their citizens? Please could you reveal the source of your information, as this is enhancing conflict in a country that was at peace with one another for years. Why torture ordinary people with businesses living in a country, who in fact creates ambiance and wealth for others living there.
Exacly, but communist dont see it this way. Communists see it as your property is my property and whats my property is none of your business.
@@SerpentInside sadly, all rac3s in south africa are in the same boat. When your debt in a country so high, and your cashflow depleted, your debt collectors will claim land and its resources.
@@corinnevanjaarsveldt6087 Really, what debt did we non white south Africans owe you when you took away our land and resources during Apartheid. If these Chinese came to SA and started doing this, claiming our airports, rail, Eskom, etc, you will be screaming from the roof tops.
@@SerpentInside So when People were chucked out of District Six to take the area for Whites, it became a situation of my property became White property. WHO HAD THE CIOMMUNIST MENTALITY IN THAT SITUATION?????
Cape Towns white communists... you do know that the DP today's DA took over the NP after Boers abolished apartheid in the 70s. Why do you think White South Africans hate Cape Town? Go ask Helen Zille why she was pushing communism and socialism onto blacks. I mean Helen and Cyril rewrote the constitution and freedom charter in 94'... they both Marxist parties they liberals for goodness sake, liberals are racists.
In exile I lived and studied with the Herero cdes from SWANU and our parties were very close and shared the same struggle against the land occupation by the European settlers that unto this day is not resolved in South Africa under the ANC.
The ANC like SWAPO sold out the Africans. ✊🏿🇿🇦
GREAT PRESENTATION !!!
one thing i can give this report is that when it comes to the pronunciation of names she gets it 1 million percent right and i keep on praying that my country will change one day
Thank you for showing us the truth of what is really happening in nambia and acknowledging the otjiherero and the nama people for being the true owners of the Namibian land.
I agree
Journalist: Do you think you can forgive them?
Me: Are they asking for forgiveness or even showing signs of sympathy towards us?
Indeed! a time wii come
Careful what you wish for.
@@betavsall973trust me,that time will come
If you're unhappy in Namibia.....why don't you go back to Nigeria??? Simple easy fix!
Will the colonisers give reparation, give back land, restore the indigenous rightful owner?This applies to other territories Germany colonised
Western governments: look look!! The Chinese government it’s doing what we have been doing.. we must expose them 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Happy Tours Africa is following you from UGANDA. Enjoy Namibia
Damn asking for permission to go to your ancestors' graves...😢
It's crazy
Sad to watch my country exploited till this day. 😢😢😢
Same as Congo rich in sources poor living
Blame Colonialism and Apartheid
its sad to see that our leaders have let us down, they have allowed china and west to exploit africans
No Africa is for all people both black and white but the problem is selfishness
We kenyans are the real barbarian of Africa....heard of may mau

History shapes the future. No one can erase the past.
What you saw at 29:00 is a case of Joey Zaza's famous statement in Godfather III: "since you will not give, I'll take!"
The land will be taken back by force.
I can't do much about this. But I sure will spread the awareness about the beautiful country, the Namibians country. Stay strong!! I believe in you!! Much love from Sweden 💙 🇳🇦
People tend to forget just like many Africa countries our Freedom was a negotiated freedom. The terms that were put in place made us(Natives) respect property rights and that means we the natives of the land couldn’t take back land and minerals that’s why German and Afrikaners own so much land . Many western countries have made it easy for their people to come here and own land and mines .Less we forget De beers(which was or is still owned by German Jews) which owns all the diamond wealth in my country .The Americans have stopped us from building a nuclear power station while we have some much uranium underground. Now my government is playing friendly with the Chinese cause the Western powers still have this Baas aka Boss mindset towards Africa still trying to control us .
What was the reason for our liberation the deaths & struggles in their millions of our forefathers?
Don't hate the average white person. A lot of us actuallytry to integrate with African cultures. But, do consider who amongst europeans control so much wealth and their motives.
Money from diamond should be used in part to help Namibian, the exploitation of resources is bad. I don't believe the problem is the color of the skin (all men are greedy) of who control the mine, the problem is taxation of those business activities by the government and control of the supply.
Must say one of best documentry i watched long time in every angle, thnks.
That Boy, is the poor people's voice. Lion❤️🙌
The universe is balanced .No one runs away with crime. Germany brutality was paid in world war 2.All Colonial masters also paid in the war : more than African slaves and colonial victims combined .
I watched this documentary on DW? Is this channel a part of DW ?
Lol our people are poor....rides away in a top class Mercedes
I am one African brother from Ethiopia. I had seen many documentaries on African countries' resources and their exploitation. I have never witnessed such kind of robbery of one's resources. Brothers, it's your country and why are you not acting and doing like it. It is as if Colonization is still in place. It is not living; the way the locals are living while it is in the Capital city. Only 6% benefit the enormous economy of the country and they are foreigners; it's not fair....wake up brothers
We want those land back
Developed countries cannot afford African countries to be developed because those countries thrive on corrupt leadership, Africa's poverty etc. You cannot say a country is rich and only look at the wealth owned by capitalists who are, in fact imperialists. Apartheid all that was not about race, only about economy and they've won.
Imagine how ancestors are important to an African and you tell him, pay in order to come visit their grave? No remorse none whatsoever telling us... You've land doesn't mean rich, you have to work the land, and yet he is paying a local... to work the land. It's the samething as... Coming into my house and telling me it's yours now, you come every now and again to check on the property, pay me peanuts, for taking care of the very same house I use to own. 💔
Can't we as Africans do more to help ? Especially sadc
His own Herero would die without him….the man learned nothing from his boss in 34 years…
Foreigners are scared now that African leaders are reuniting,we need a rematch with this so called colonisers
They’re uniting with the WEF.
The internet got you guys living the latest fantasy in your mind.
You probably think Ruto is a freedom fighter 😂
@@MattDiamondFlixyour truth hurts
Namibia should not have to hide its dealings with another country
I've been to namibia it's a beautiful country
Thanks to the German.
I salute micheal, he is the only light for that African country
"All come from dust All return to dust fear the Almighty One in whatever you do"
I have seen some white Namibians and they are really very proud of their country. Namibia is very beautiful country.
This is sad what they did to the African people
They still do it to this very day
The place had no name it was just dark africa..... Wow the audacity of our Caucasian landowner
not reality tha is the mentality
the Real issue what is being done now to address the disparity in wealth ,housing conditions and employment
thats the real issue
Anytime these things must excuse selves from our continent to afford the natives determine their destiny. It's sickening watching this video, give me a break
On the night of July 24th 2023 in my dream I was walking on the street with everyone and God's Voice said to me to always keep on telling young people to never forget that something is coming from the Sky....Asteroids 🙏 💞 ♥️
16:16 your ancestors come in and say this place had no name?
Did they try to maybe ask the folks they found there?
The audacity 😏
Colonial mindset
How can he ask for money on our land when his a foreigner
A local signed off the land to them… obviously.
@@MattDiamondFlixthey never signed over anything...... They created and signed off their own paperwork those colonialists
The answer is education. But that needs

Its sad to know how cruel people could be against any human being in any generation or any culture for power and money. May God sort us all out for our deeds in the end. But I wonder if the two guys visiting their ancestors grave understand later on in life that their ancestors couldn't hear nor see them for they are dead. Only God is aware of what's been taking place then now and here after.
you are misunderstanding the meaning of ancestors. the one u believed in the bible wat are there , till tomorrow you mention Ibrahim, moses , John, Anthony. who are there , u been colonised not to regard ur root bro . showing them respect ain't a crime bro
Can you imagine,6% of the white Germans own 70% of the country,how can that be?. You know why you don't hear much about this on American or European MSM?,because they are white Europeans.
Germans again 😅 one person own Berlin in Namibia but the media is still criticising china for building it
It's the same in South Africa , Australia and New Zealand. White colonizers living lavishly , while the native people are suffering.
Count the government as well
How about USA?
I agree watching from cape town south Africa 😂😢
Partially true....there are the majority whites suffering due to heavy taxation that should have been utilized to the poor. The only ones that are super rich is in government. Sad but true. Many whites dont own properties.
@@francoiswilliams USA too , the Native Indians should be on top , not the white Europeans. 🤷♂️

Very arrogant . A path of righteousness is needed here
Problems all over wish we could get along.
I love this young man and his passion for his people. Afrika must get the better part of meat
Perhaps you should do more research on him just to know where he really comes from.
Ashumelo his name
it doesn’t matter how many generations have illegally occupied Namibia - there were centuries of true Namibian generations before the country was invaded and its true Namibian people murdered.
There was no justification then or now…
I pray for a free Namibia and her true Namibians.
White born people in Namibia are Namibians no matter their ancestry 😊
Great visuals but a really poorly constructed story. Its not enough to declare that fraud exists, you have to support assertions and generalisations- with facts- that is if u want to be taken seriously.
I love what the NGO is doing for our wildlife. They deserve donations of vehicles, weapons and ample financial support.
These are the same ones that accused the foreign government's of raping the land when these are the same ones who are doing it .
Dude your country is still owned by the settlers....ever heard of kenya
I’m curious to why the white should eat inside on fancy tables and the blacks have sit outside. Glad they showed us how this French treat their employees.
@@brandonleo9180 That's how it was during colonialism and it still continues under a Black govt!! You know what? One of those dissatisfied young black will get into power and those White settlers will be chased out of the country like dirt and they will start crying foul. It happened in Zimbabwe though they were replaced by Blacks who were worse!!
It is look like any other country problems. constructions, politics, economic and many more, still demand and should accelerate considerably from the vicious cycle of poverty.
Keeping 2.6million people under poverty when you have mineral recourses is mad business
6% own 70% of arable land... That is true... which is an issue but only because of their race, I do not know if they are not working with everybody else but Namibia is Semi arid and I wonder if community land is included in the survey or national parks because they are animal keepers
In this day and age nothing is impossible. Arid and semi-arid land can be exploited profitably.
@@rascocky6366 were is this being done
@@chrisbennett6260 Israel, USA, Mauritania and other countries.
@@rascocky6366Israel are you sure about that
as for Mauritana its not a mineral rich country
@@chrisbennett6260 You probably misunderstood and thought I was referring to mineral exploitation. When I said "... Arid and semi-arid land can be exploited profitably. ..." I meant for FARMING! Mining is obviously easy to do. Yes, desert can be recovered and farmed profitably.
#Germans must leave Namibia 🇳🇦 💪🏽
As a south African I think my friend should've stayed at such a beautiful country
Namibia is truly a peaceful country but the more we remain quiet the more our people get exploited and poor by each passing moment
Thank you for showing us the true face of Europeanians.
That man do not make no sense. It not important to have land. You don’t need the money just our land. This needs repercussion soon this is the time. We have your back Namibia 🇳🇦
Surprisingly, these guys are dressed like German soldiers! It's really confusing!
😂😂 appropriation
The Namibian people own the country. It's up to them what they create, no one else.
Really
Yes at this point Namibians needs to stop reliance on government they don’t need government it’s the other way round focus on community led initiatives by the people for the people & support leaders with proven radical actions like Michael mainly local entrepreneurs between locals & Namibians need to stop working for white people these people enslaved & tortured your forefathers who fought till death to defend your beautiful lands you owe it to them to regain African pride its better to work for a fellow Namibian who will also in return invest in another Namibian your monies stay within your pockets don’t buy imports buy local produce only it’s cheaper, healthier & most importantly you support your economy through buying from each other a German will only only retain the money within his white circles. Ideally work together towards a common vision think critically economically will a Namibia built by Namibians for Namibians otherwise yes if each Namibian steps up together you’re unstoppable
@@prettisibbs2176 And your country is "unstoppable" by applying your suggestions.
Nobody was really interested in what the Germans were doing in South West Africa, a godforsaken place no one wanted, when Germany reluctantly agreed to act as protectors, very late in the game as far as colonies were concerned. That disinterest by other players vanished overnight, when diamonds were found. The Berlin Agreement of 1886 was simply ignored...
Exactly, Namibia will be liberated. Africa and western europe are on there last ropes in the continent
@@RicksPhatPharm-vw2lb There is too much corruption in Africa, too much greed. What do you mean by liberation? Is Namibia a dictatorship?
@@hdscha4710yes liberation from dictatorship white supremacy exploitation of Africa still existing today
Well, they didn't know what to do with the resources, so smarter people used it. That's why education is so important, still today most of the people are still uneducated.
Which was the plan in the beginning,kill the African and take his land...what goes around comes around..
That’s an imperialistic excuse. I hope Namibia wakes up from its slumber and kicks out those land grabbers.
What education what use..... Exploitation and greed. Africans knew what to do with their resources and how to preserve their resources. We never needed concrete houses and TV to amuse ourselves
Look how. Much is the coast of Dimond and the people's cannot have good road and house
i blame the government and citizens. TOO passive in face of exploitation 😢😢
What is distressing, the diamonds belong to the multinationals...so sick...
I'm sickened by this whatever this is 😢
Why using frenchman to train wildlife protection?
This is so disgusting to say the least
I sincerely hope this German man takes good care of this man who lives alone takes care of his farm cattle etc, i hope he built him a nice house buy him a motorbike etc He deserves to be luving confortable as part of his fam.
In your dreams
In your dreams! The German guy says he has had him in employment for 35 years!! 35 YEARS and counting! Imagine what pension he will EVER get? Or NEVER get!! The way he speaks it's like he is doing him a favour!!
no no this can't be allowed anymore us the original owners are struggling even to get a job

I watched this documentary and i see the discrimination on the black rangers who are eating outside while the white rangers are eating nicely on the dinning table inside with nice plates. Very disappointed😞
Every country that taking advantage of this country is going to pay for the price one day.. what goes around comes around.this country should not have poverty. population of under three million but people still live in poverty we all going to hell one day 😢

the way you are treated now is by the government not by the german people? The government owns the diamon industry and is not sharing its wealth, a good example to that was the fishrot incident. It isnt the germans, its your own people
@@namviper1937 There are 2 issues here. The former colonisers who still act like they still have a colony and the govt. which doesn't protect it's Black citizens from exploitation by the former colonisers and by the new colonisers (see China, Russia, North Korea, etc).
