Kongo and the Scramble for Africa - History Of Africa with Zeinab Badawi [Episode 19]

My mother told me that my great great grandmother who is my grandfather grandmother was born in Kongo but end up in chains in Jamaica. I was born and rise here in Canada and when the media mention anything about Africa is always negative but when I read the great Kongo civilization when I was 16 years old I feel so proud of being Black.

The Congo is one of the most resourced areas of the globe by itself

Naming My Baby Girl Kimpa Vita 😍 True Queen.

Love from Brazil here. 🇧🇷 So amazing to learn the history of my ancestors, from great civilizations to resistance and the fight for freedom from European greed and destruction. Everyone of African descent should have access to this and be empowered by the knowledge, and we should use this to stay united and build a better future for us and our children.

I am Zulu(Ngoni) fron S.A.I know we came from the Kongo.I always wondered why we left but this documentary explained it very well.now I know I am Zulu,Ngoni,muKongo.Lets unite baKongo am reclaim our heritage.

As a black american, I am very proud of my Angolan/Mbundu blood line

These documentaries are thorough and indispensable to all people particularly African and of African decent . I love it!

The Belgians were also involved in the assassination of Paul Lumumba. The first prime minister of DRC.

I was a Student in England when Zeinab Badawi was a young Reporter. She was faced with Predujiduce ad well. I am so pleased that she is now educating us about our Rich Black African Heritage. One can see how long the Aliens were trying to Conquer us. Thank you God we are still here, thanks to our Foreparents. Thank you Zeinab. The cruel treatments hurt, but we have to carry on. My Fellow Black Africans don't be bitter, we are here to continue where our Foreparents left off. Be safe from everyone and everything. God the Creator Reigns. Peace.

Till date there is no retribution for the level of savagery committed against Africa.

Guys Congo is still bleeding, the war on coltan is still happening.

Such an insightful documentary!!! How did I not know about The Great African queen's who led armies of men in fighting off slavery and colonisation!!!. Our curriculum needs a review! I have taken up to research on this and more!

Hands-down, this is the best documentary on imperialism in Africa that I’ve seen. Not only is it informative, but it reinforces resistance to imperialism and notes powerful leaders by name who fought against the European imperial powers. I had no idea there were queens who resisted so effectively, and I hope this side of history gets taught more in schools.

Africa is beautiful

NZAMBE SUNGA CONGO 🇨🇩 SUNGA BANA NAYO YAHWEH 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 i’m so hurt ........

Leopard was worse than Hitler, the Belgiums need to repay the people of Congo for this evil atrocities

Africa we Love you.

They avoid teaching us this type of history in both Western and African schools

Very educative. This is what African need to know rather than learning about European history. Great work BBC and the reporter

Been to lubumbashi great people & great culture. But eventually its sad. Mainly the Portuguese r the ones who invaded so many countries to rule. Am frm india n i knw how they invaded us too. & The brutal king leopold was a living satan for this country n the whole continent the europeans had this history of makong pple slaves n now they become the so called saviours of the world n show there fake compassion.
