Congo: A journey to the heart of Africa - BBC Africa

I know all the 54 independent African states have a story to tell including my home Kenya but Congo has the saddest story of all since Leopold's time. When you close your eyes to pray tonight please remember to pray for Mother Africa and her ever ailing heart, the Congo.

Africa is NOT POOR BUT IS POORLY MANAGED.

It is painful to see how politics and oppression kept this country and almost whole Africa in dire poverty even though they have wealth of natural resources. I see positive changes coming. Best wishes to our African brothers. Let's Go !!!!

I have worked there for a couple of years. It’s a beautiful country. God Bless Congo, God Bless Africa!!!

Africans, let's unite and do the best for ourselves and generations to come.

I live in Nairobi, my apartment neighbors freed Congo. ONE DAY a great leader will rise, peace will be found, and this great beautiful country will prosper

I know my country kenya 🇰🇪 has problems but Congo 🇨🇩 history breaks my heart to pieces 💔 😢

I pray for Congo, the heart of Africa and yet the most wounded, whenever I remember what is really happening to Congo I get emotional, a country that I extremely blessed with resources and yet her most of her citizens are suffering. Ooh God I pray that you heal Congo. With a deep love for people of 🇨🇩. ❤ 🇰🇪 . 🙏🏾

The interview with Mbutu,s daughter, is simply sad. That level of denial and unaccountability is something that stops these nations from progressing.

This is where I was born and grown, in KISANGANI I was living in makiso walking little bit to chute wagenia, KISANGANI is a lovely, peace and quiet town. People there are loving and serving. It's been 14 years I left and I still want to go back and live there. KISANGANI BOYOMA SINGA MUAMBE

I am from India and am here in DRC for a short stay of 7 days. This is my first time in Africa. People here are so friendly. But the corruption is a real problem here... As soon as I landed in Lubumbashi International airport I went for immigration counter.. there was an officer checking my passport and Visa. He was asking for an printout of an Document which I had as a soft copy. But I was not having it. The officer asked me to come closer and asked me like "Give me Money". I started asking why should I give money(with a little louder tone) he started to change the topic. So corrupted. But other than that I loving my stay here.♥️

I read novel " Heart of Darkness" was written by Joseph Conrad which is about the colonial oppression in Congo and pleased to enjoy the whole episode. Long live Congo! From Bangladesh. 🇧🇩🇧🇩

May our creator bless Congo. The richest country on earth. Love from Bangladesh🇧🇩

Wealth of a country is not only the natural resources but the human resource as well

My Father worked in Congo in the sixties. He loved it and never really returned back to europe ;-) I hope I will at some time come back to Congo for him

A proud son of African soil born in Congo. I believe in your bright future

Watching this with tears in my eyes, why us? why does it have to be Africa the only continent in the world which consumes that which it does not produce and produces that which it does not consume? I weep for this great continent but in the words of Patrice Lumumba, the day will come when history will speak..Africa will write its own history, it will be a story of glory and dignity. To all my brothers and sisters, Alluta Continua.

This documentary deserves and Award..this is remarkable show of Congo.Woow!!!...we need Humanity to save this beautiful country...this can make one cry...Congo is beautiful country.

What a beautiful country. God bless congo 🇨🇩

Lived and worked in the DRC for several years. Everything is true in this documentary. What you can't feel is the grip of fear and pain that is everywhere. Beauty and agony in the same place at the same time. Haunting.
