the exchange of the goat and the bracelet touched me, Tony was so good at making you feel something.

Miss you Mr. Bourdain

The life I had from 1990 until 2013. A great but sometime dangerous life in Central and western Africa, including Congo Kin and CAF. Now I amold but I go back in the soutern part of Africa for my pleasure and good life. Here in Canada things are boring!

What an excellent travel and history lesson ,,so didnt know even these brief facts ,, Wow , no words😮

I took that small flight a minimum of 50 times from Goma. I spent 6 years in Goma. Used to go to Kigali every weekend My house in Goma was just 1 minute walk to the border to Rwanda. I traveled to Kisangani, Bukavu, Bunia, butembo etc

Thanks for the Documentary in DRC Sadly with the ongoing war , It makes it hard for big cities like Kisangani to be rebuilt ASAP; hence Rwanda and Uganda faught here and destroyed what was left from Zaire time and took lives of peaceful citizens. In Future you are very welcome to Shoot on the western part of the Country and it could be better... Once more thanks for taking Us on a trip to Congo

Apparently my Dutch uncle and aunty smuggled a baby out of the Congo in the early sixties lets hope in another sixty years babies born in the Congo have more luck , we live in hope ...🌳🌲🌷🌻🌺🌹🏵🌴💐

UAU que privilégio receber uma bracelete assim tão antiga com tanta história devia contar se falasse 👏👍👌 espetacular oferenda, eu seria um orgulhoso dono de tão bela peça 👏💯🙏🙏🙏🇵🇹

Somethings cant even imagined..

Heartbreaking to see this beautiful country destroyed 😢

Its a pleasure to see you Mr Bourdain. 🙏

The shipping, industrial, commercial and trade potential on and along the Congo River is without comparison in Africa. River polution by humans and shipping considered. Yet, Congo River commerce is supressed. Keep the country and the people poor. Stimulate conflict mineral wars while profit from the world demand for conflict minerals line the pockets of a select few. The churches (or religion) serve as a pacifier. The world shrugs.

Really I was born there before we were chased away by the revolution. It's black people who saved my mother and me. Then there were 25.000 schools . My nounou and her family lived in a house adjacent to ours. Nothing was ultra fancy. Couldn't ever be compared to the luxury of South Africa. Yes the before or around 1900s was ugly. But the rest of the world worked the same way since the 1500s. So why blame always Belgium as if they were the worst in the world. Actually I am not Belgian. My mother from Austria was very well treated by the locals and we were saved by then in 1959. In our area Kindu Kongolo etc black people walked out streets and we played together black and white. The Catholic Church was the worst offender and paid for it. And what most people won't say. There were hordes of East Germans going around for many years starting to steer up trouble and they managed. Only German speaking people like my mother understood what these bastards were up to. Like Putin now nothing much different. They wanted in on the minerals of the Congo. I never went back to Africa till 97 to RSA hoping to make a change and being something good. It took me ten years to understand that even there they are on the way of the test of central Africa. Down only as corruption ruled then and still does more and more. Forgive Bourdain as hrs gone already in his own sad way. As so many say and look back at the Belgian past it was much better than now. And so did my adopted daughter granny in RSA. She's always told me even apartheid was bad at least she was able to go safely downtown in the day time to go shopping. Now most people get robbed downtown JHB. All the shame that should be only spoken of us the theft of all the Congolese leaders. I was in school in Belgium with his sons in boarding school. They were spoiled brats who arrived in limousines and looked down at us normal kids and got to go home on Wednesday afternoon and we did not. I hope in the future someone will lead this country to is own success with honest politics. The rest of the world now is in on it also to just take and do absolutely nothing. The foreign military forces enjoy privilege and step into the locals without any real love and care. People on the streets are the ones suffering from everyone and everything especially what they don't get from their corrupt government. The new president elect isn't any different. They only have become more clever in hiding their personal gains.

those are so sad pictures...

Whoever is managing this channel, please put the information of all the contributors in somewhere. I'm over here getting hammered and want to send this weird jungle library $100 to keep the electricity on, but can't figure out who they are or where they receive emails or anything. LET ME ASSUAGE MY WHITE GUILT PLS

most past civilisations would have welcomed the injection of investment and then developed such investment. Except in Africa where such investment was quickly squandered and destroyed after self rule. This is the sad tale of Africa. No ability to develop, only self destruction.

Shame on us white men 🤬🤬🤬🤬

I like your way of adventure. Why not just burn and eat your chicken? Are you trying to eat like at the restaurant in the middle of an adventure, I guarantee it will be excruciating. 🤣🤣

watch this video, the old man who knows the past says that Belgium colonialism represented the good times. He is of course correct. These guys destroyed that country after they chased out the whites.. They still use the old hand drawn Belgium maps. There has been no development, only destruction post the Belgium exit.

I prefer you saying Congolese at the place of black people?

Well…this doc is very superficial, lots of untruths and full of examples of American arrogance and false superiority. Missed chance.
