  • World's Most Dangerous Roads: Deadliest Journeys Congo River (2010)
    Deadliest Roads - Panama: • Deadliest Roads | Pana...
    We make the epic journey from Kinshasha, capital of the DRC, to Kisangani, the third largest city in this vast country. The only way to move between the cities is by boat or plane. We join 1,500 people onboard the ‘Gbemani’, sailing along the Congo River. Without fresh water, electricity, or medicines, it is a perilous voyage. A nurse looks after her fellow travellers, even performing a terrifying operation to save a man’s foot without anesthetic. But amongst the trials and tribulations, come moments of joy, including the birth of a baby, named ‘Gbemani’, after the ship where he was born.

    We make the epic journey from Kinshasha, capital of the DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo in Central Africa), via Bandaka, Lisala, and Mbumba to Kisangani, the third-largest city in this vast country. The only way to move between the cities is by boat or plane. And I think it goes without saying, most people do not own or have access to a plane. So boat it is.
    We join 1500 people on board the 'Gbemani', sailing along the Congo River. Without freshwater, electricity, or medicines, it is a perilous voyage.

    An awe-inspiring journey. Enjoy!

      The navigation chart is from 1950s and hasn’t been updated from Belgian colonial times. Whose fault is that?
      I’ve been to African countries volunteering and such, it’s tough to realise we literally can do little to change things. Now Africans all want to go to the western countries, rather than engage in the difficult task of building their own societies.

      @@cannibalholocaust3015 colonialism is inherently a destructive system. It dismantled the old political, economic system that existed in the Congo valley and replaced it with one that is dependent on a central government far away sending administrators to organize commodity shipments. Education for the colonized was a threat to keeping power over them, so it was heavily discouraged.
      Thus when DRC (and many other African countries) became independent, the people with the necessary skills to organize the country left back to their home country and the colony was left with a heavily uneducated populace, an economic structure that was incredibly exploitative and hard on the people (Congolese rubber plantations being infamously inhumane).

      And the reason why the ship couldn't leave was because the ship didn't have enough fuel and that the owner refused to bribe the fuel distributors, adding on top of that the 2000 passengers that didn't pay. It's a very frustrating situation for the owner, and I'm amazed he can still afford to run that ship with such cycle of corruption from both the fuel distributor and the passengers.

      @@Marisolita_95I don't know why all of these human rights organizations stigmatize the incentivization of birth control, or sterilization of men and women who already have or more children.. My father chose to get a vasectomy after 2 children, where he could easily quadruple my siblings and afford them but he understood it would take the quality of our lives down and it's irresponsible to our environment and planet..
      We reached a peak a long time ago..
      If only we combated overpopulation like Covid.. You go into places where there's starvation and mass murder violence over resources.. many orphaned babies..
      Why is it inhumane to give families money an opportunity out of poverty in exchange for volunteer sterilization or temporary birth control..
      Its not just their pollution and their wildlife.. that suffers.. its the entire world..

      I agree and do think the more children one has the worse off their standard of living is likely to become. As an African I have witnessed that we as a people are increasing the poverty situation through having more children than resources available can cater for. Even emotionally these children neglected as parents run to and fro to eek out a living. And the cycle continues as soon as the eldest reaches 20 or thereabouts 😢😢

Some characters here are speaking in Swahili. The narrator is not doing a word for word translation,rather he does an imaginative translation. He had me in stitches when describing the sounds from the nurse's stethoscope. The storytelling is epic.
