If there is one thing I learned from journalism is that you never trust what they say when they speak about army’s killing civilians. It’s never that easy, believe me. You need to know everything behind the story before saying anything. Of course it’s never a nice thing to kill and robe civilians, but Europe did it until 1945 and the USA has done it a few times in the last years. Just like “the atomic bomb was necessary!1!1” also this murders could be necessary. We always need to study the argument from closer
The guy: “Nous allons à la forêt pour prendre des lapins” which means “We’re going to the forest to catch some rabbits” : referring to the rebels. But the subtitles:”we’re going to the forest to make peace “
Lapin and la paix is incredibly similar with an accent. Not sure the subtitles were wrong, given the fact they literally rode out to the forest to make try and « make peace » right after
@@KamaAnthem no it’s not! He said “Nous partir à la forêt pour prendre des lapins”. And, in Congolese French,this word is used to refer to bad people in different situations.

This entire 'documentary' is an exercise in white people looking in and seeing a desperate man trying to unite and empower his people, giving them hope, and calling him a criminal for it. A people who have been abused and persecuted by shadowy groups with no apparent goals other than death and mayhem, armed with weapons after supposedly being demilitarized.

Wow the rebel explaining even if he becomes part of the army he must stay in his community to prevent people from dividing Congo again.. damn thats intelligence right there, I wish to see peace on Africa, Middle East and everywhere in my lifetime
If two factions fight against each other, none of the hands ends up being clean, all of them getting dirty, but only the winner has the opportunity to wash his hands after, because the loosers hands keeps being dead and dirty. Its not a bad idea to implement combat hardened groups into your army, because if you let them guard their homeland, they will fight much harder and better than any other troops you could deploy there. And yes, Kongo has a lot or ressources, that would not be the first time a war gets startet because someone wants some ressources.

He jumped straight into the cold war and took Congo to hell with him If he had kept quiet and worked behind the scenes to free DRC economically, Congo might have been very different from what it is now Instead he chose to insult the crocodile while he (and the entire country) was still in its mouth
The UN is bound by what the countries want it to do. It has no way of collecting taxes - it basically relies on "donations". It has no way of pulling together an army from its own citizens - most are volunteers from developing countries. If Congo says they don't want the UN helping more than what the Congo government thinks is right, then the UN has absolutely no way to do something else (they can be expelled, their money might get pulled, etc). For sure there are problems with any organization, but the UN literally can only do what the countries say it can do. Outside of what people think the UN does, they have saved probably hundreds of millions of lives with aid. But they don't have the ability to just decide to overthrow a/any government
UN’s biggest purpose is to prevent another World War after it was created in 1945, something they are failing at, they can’t even bat an eye at the Mexican drug war, a brutal conflict south of the US border...

Actual Title: Former Militia Trying To Prevent A Genocide.
This entire 'documentary' is an exercise in white people looking in and seeing a desperate man trying to unite and empower his people, giving them hope, and calling him a criminal for it. A people who have been abused and persecuted by shadowy groups with no apparent goals other than death and mayhem, armed with weapons after supposedly being demilitarized. To me, this is straight from the "how to destabilize a nation for power and profit" handbook, and is the sad inevitability of global post-imperial economics.

It’s never that easy, believe me.
You need to know everything behind the story before saying anything.

It's not scepticism UN doesen't help, its a fact.
@Schnitzel Man people don't bat an eye when their pockets at filled by it.
The UN is bound by what the countries want it to do. It has no way of collecting taxes - it basically relies on "donations". It has no way of pulling together an army from its own citizens - most are volunteers from developing countries. If Congo says they don't want the UN helping more than what the Congo government thinks is right, then the UN has absolutely no way to do something else (they can be expelled, their money might get pulled, etc). For sure there are problems with any organization, but the UN literally can only do what the countries say it can do. Outside of what people think the UN does, they have saved probably hundreds of millions of lives with aid. But they don't have the ability to just decide to overthrow a/any government
UN’s biggest purpose is to prevent another World War after it was created in 1945, something they are failing at, they can’t even bat an eye at the Mexican drug war, a brutal conflict south of the US border...
Because the United States makes sure they are ineffective on purpose
Idk about Congo but UN peacekeepers have been doing well in Mali.
I really don’t know how their policy work, I think they are trying to change it.
