Deadliest Journeys - Guinea: The Land Of The Forgotten

[@chad3358]

These shows really demonstrate how important infrastructure is to a country’s success.

[@coffeepot3123]

I don't know if it's the properties of the soil in africa, but it seems like they struggle to build and maintain roads there, as soon as rain hits it becomes a mud mess (i presume) , decent roads are a MUST if African countries plan on improving to the next societal level. Seems like every foreign aid institution and volunteer are more concerned about starting at the wrong end of the ice cream. Sure helping the people is important, but they are creating a never ending loop of foreign aid for the continent. And by that i think the people there suffer even more.

[@mog7501]

​@@coffeepot3123you ever wonder if that "never ending loop of foreign aid" is by design? As in, do you wonder if there is any incentive to keep African countries and people poor, encourage internal corruption, political instability, and to encourage extremely extractive economies that allow foreign multinational corporations to extract raw materials and natural resources duty free, with extremely cheap labor? And those who fight against this system are often killed through foreign-backed coups or straight-up assassinations? And to continue the idea that Africans are helpless, and to show that these western nations are doing all they can to help, they donate billions in foreign aid for food and medicine that provides nothing more than immediate relief for awful conditions caused by this extractive economy rather than long term solutions? Fortunately, this system is changing internally but it is an incredibly difficult fight to regain back autonomy over our land. You raised a very good point and it is good to question how we got this way and how we get out of it.

There WAS a railway, from Conakry to Kankan, built by the French at the beginning of the 20th century. But they wanted to be independant, and when the Russians were there, they were only interested in extracting bauxite, so they used the railway for that purpose. I travelled through Guinea-Conakry in 1988, using taxi-bushes (4 years after the death of the dictator Sekou Touré), and in many parts of the country, it was still Middle Age. Earlier it was the gem of French West Africa.

I'm from India and it's true. Many times benefits of Colonisation is completely ignored and now you can't even say any single good thing about colonial government.

[@Lilyrose23]

@@nisargjani8050 This is the good result of colonial governments; where do you think the resources are going? France and other colonial empires are still extracting anything they can. Also, colonialism in Africa was slavery; they didn't come to build or improve life for the natives; they saw them as savages with gold and diamonds they could use. During colonial times people had to give the food they farmed to Europeans for free. So no, there's nothing positive about colonialism for us, and it's disgusting to even suggest there is and not sorry for people who think like you if they feel attacked. I was born in Guinea and didn't live there because of these poor conditions, and I was shocked to see this because my region is developed due to our immigration. Europe did nothing for us; we worked hard to build roads and modernize our region. This region of Guinea is the poorest, even though most presidents/dictators are from there.
