Back in 2012, I went to Africa to work for an international company, and the one thing I learned very fast was not to complain about anything, it made me appreciate the USA I believe all the protesters that complain about America should go there and other nations and see how people in those countries are very grateful for everything.

I’ve watched dozens of these videos and I’m overwhelmed. Their world hasn’t changed much in hundreds of years and there nothing to give them hope anything ever will. They just have a will to survive that many in the world can’t imagine. Living in the USA I listen to entitled people whining about how tough their life is. They have no idea what tough really is. They wouldn’t survive a week in these countries. It’s sad I wish so bad there was a way to help them have it easier. Then again they appreciate the small blessings in life that many in developed countries take for granted and feel they deserve. I totally admire these people.

Congo does not have oil but it is blessed with numerous of all other mineral resources +lumber, water and plenty of land that is twice the size of France, Germany and UK combined ,those countries have a total population of over 200million yet Congo has a population of 86 million. If they had visionary governance and non interference from foreign forces they would be an African power house sadly it is one of the poorest countries in the world.

The only country that can build a decent highway and railway in the Congo is the Chinese. They could build it in 2 years or less. They already have interests in the Congo's plentiful mineral resources. The government should do a deal to have the Chinese take on infrastructure projects. They have a good track record in Africa. The West does not have the capacity, the will, or the money to do it. Of course, there are political and financial risks but what other option is there? It is sad to see fellow humans being transported like animals. No one in the world should be suffering such indignities.
