A major problem, not only in Congo, but throughout Africa, is the politicians who are corrupted to the core. Most of the development aid the West sends to Africa goes into the pockets of these politicians. As a result, the infrastructure will not develop, there will be no foreign investments etc. It's sad that the ordinary people are suffering from this problem. And getting rid of corruption is very challenging which, unfortunately, doesn't look good for Congo and some other countries in Africa. I hope so much I'm wrong, but I'm afraid I'm not.

@@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.

@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 was born and raised in Maracaibo, Venezuela. So trust me when I say it's incredibly hard to change people's mindset when it comes to corruption. I'd love to hear your suggestions on how to make a change for this issue.

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.

It's time for the Congo and Africa in general to stand up and prioritize the welfare of her people.

I see why this country is suffering, due it its wealth of natural resources. Selfless, responsible, educated and strong leaders are needed to handle this.

[@chesangnathan1989]

This is geopolitics at its best. Even if a strong leader rises and decides to unite the people and prevents them from plundering the country's resources, they will send in a turn coat ( a greedy corrupted snake of a black man), and give him all the money and the resources he needs to overthrow him. If your not in compliance with them, they will push you out by any means possible and replace you with a dog they can leash.
