Perpetual Violence and Warfare in the DRC (2000)

Congo Rebels (December 2000) - Rebel forces perpetuate conflict in the DRC, in a seemingly never-ending tussle for power. International playboy Jean-Paul Bemba heads the MLC, one influential group.
Subscribe to Journeyman here: www.youtube.com...
At Bunya, headquarters of the RCD/ML rebels, Ugandan instructors train young rebels like fourteen-year-old Gentil. Uganda and Rwanda support three rebel groups who now control half the country. Jean-Paul Bemba heads the MLC, the Movement for the Liberation of Congo. He has vast business interests in Europe and has his HQ alongside one of Mobutu's extravagant palaces. Some accuse Bemba of being a front for business interests in the region, but he remains Congo's most popular rebel.

You know the name of the chant they're singing?

[@ayyodele]

Venturing to be a rebel leader must be a profitable one in the Congo, what a cursed land. Lumumba's spirit keeps haunting them.

[@davidtukura61]

DR Congo! The home of some of Africa's best music! You still catch the musical talents of the Congolese even in the war chants of their militia men! Oh God! Bring us back Africa's home of music! May peace return to the Congo!

This African people need to start thinking "WAR AND VIOLENCE DOESN'T BRING ANYTHING GOOD" each and everyone must start thinking about peace and love one another so that their country will only grow like other countries. Why they can't stop fighting over and over again knowing that war doesn't bring anything good till now.🤔 stupid and foolish Africans🙄 why didn't they can't live a normal life like us. Stupid people

[@robertschweppie5256]

I DON'T THINK THEY KNOW THEMSELVES, WHAT THEY WERE FIGHTING FOR. IN THE END, THE LEADERS GAIN EVERYTHING AND THE SOLDIERS ONLY LOSE THEIR LIVES.

[@Mikcrynouse]

End of 24 and still gongn on

[@PacisMwiza]

spoilers (from 2000): none of the rebels will take congo. Kabila will die soon and the presidency passes to his son (Kabila Junior). Bemba will be jailed by ICC and afterward he will be integrated in the government by the president who will replace kabila Junior. All of the above have happened by 2023:

[@t3333beats]

They killed kabila because they couldn't defeat him , his sin was going against the illicit trade in minerals and wanting his people to profit from it

[@barakamollel1848]

What had changed in the perpetual war zones of eastern DRC since 5 years ago? Or since 1959? Or since Portuguese (or Belgian, or UN) plundering started in the 1400s? The only constants are conflict mineral exploitation, murder and large scale displacement, - while consumers of electronic products in the East and the West look away?

WHAT DOES THE Z TAND FOR

[@uraninite8151]

@@mhlangamlungisi5108 this is from wikipedia:The ZPU (Russian: ЗПУ; зенитная пулемётная установка, romanized: zenitnaya pulemotnaya ustanovka, meaning "anti-aircraft machine gun mount") is a family of towed anti-aircraft gun based on the Soviet 14.5×114mm KPV heavy machine gun. It entered service with the Soviet Union in 1949 and is used by over 50 countries worldwide. He is probably using a Chinese or North Korean variant.

[@bavukapatriciawabandu6612]

The problem is why the Internal community is putting war in Africa?

[@mhlangamlungisi5108]

I didn't now Bemba was so weak. With this riff raff around him. He didn't stand a chance. Had we visited him he wouldn't have lasted even a day at all. That boy saying he will stop Migs with that pathetic 4 barrel AAG loool.

[@uraninite8151]

Were you involved in this war? Please tell me more.

[@uraninite8151]

It's true that they never shot down any migs but I think a few helicopters were destroyed but not really in the MLC area. Mostly Rwandan helis were shot down by the ZDF but im sure other forces lost aircraft as well.

[@uraninite8151]

Bemba wasnt so weak they destroyed the entire North Korean trained river force on the Ubangi. They could have captured Kinshasa but the Ugandans stopped Bemba from doing so because of US pressure. The MLC wasn't weak they were one of the groups to make major territorial gains after 1999. The Rwandans did too but not like the MLC. They also had the backing of the UPDF and they were well equipped and had Mi 24s.

[@mhlangamlungisi5108]

@@uraninite8151 really I doubt he had any MI 24s at all he never had them. He took advantage of a lull on troop movements amid the ceasefire in 1999 to grab territory where there was no armed presence at all and then claimed to be fighting. Wamba Dia Wamba and his Rwandan mates were waging a very effective war in the South with American dollars and aid. If they had MI24 they wouldnt brag about that 4 barrel shooting diwn Migs and helicopter gunships.
