They’re all like that.

It was all rhetoric like all the dictators who come into power.

That's all African dictatorships

a recurring theme in Humans. they hate what they desire. I have a similar issue tbh but on a massively minor scale, I absolutely hate eating meat or anything heavy, and commonly tell my friends not to either, but I as well ate meat twice this week. Unlike Mobutu though I am actively searching for a solution on this matter, I think I nailed down the issue to me being too comfortable, might have to get my house to freezing temperature and start working out again.

He hated how Christianity was changing our culture, he hated how we abandoned our God, names, language, and culture over Belgium French. None of the things you mentioned were exclusively European.

Actually it was mostly about cobalt. Why? Well uranium was mined in several places, however cobalt, an important metal for military technology was at that time only found in two places in the world. Congo and... you guessed it... the USSR. Without access to Congo cobalt, the USA would have nothing, nothing at all, which would in their mind mean losing the Cold War.

@@immortalituss 👏🏿👏🏿

@@immortalituss and the uranium mined in shinkolobwe was used to bomb hiroshima and nagasaki. Maybe that s the reason the country is in shambles🤷🏽‍♀️resources from their land were used to kill other human beings. The wirkd is crazy…..

Yep.

Ur acting like that’s ok cause they stop letting him be president.US government and CIA knew he would destroy the country but they didn’t care and just wanted to make sure it’s a part of US influence.And if u still think the US isn’t imperialist and doesn’t still use dictators then do research

That's interesting.

Agree ..Well known in Romania in the past ,nowaday they pretend they are paying us and we really work for to keep your job for the next years

His lifespan and the USSRs are very close

Agreed, also the queue that has cabbage on it's head. A Polish meat queue.

You better take that communist horseshit somewhere else, pal

A country that is relatively new and not heavily industrialized working with larger powers?! I am in total shock. You act as if this is unique.

It's called international politics, nothing wrong with it. I actually really rate Paul Kagame and don't see him being toppled. Clever guy.

no this is incorrect. that title now goes to uhuru kenyatta just like his father.

Tell me about it!! He was trained by them anyways!

I strongly believe the war in Rwanda had everything to do with the overthrow of Mobutu. These white devils are capable of doing the worse just to get what they want! Sometimes there’s more behind the scenes than we see. For there’s this view that Mobutu was helping the Hutus against the Tutsi’s. While all these were happening, Kagame was been trained in the states to take over power! You know what the rest of the story is! Kabila overthrew the dictator, and I’m sure he was also eliminated when they had no use for him. Replaced by a man people claim is never the son of Kabila and not a Congolese! The story of DRC is a very sad one! The west will be judged! I pray that everyday!!for the Africans that keep been puppets, may God also not forgive them.

They always kill or dopose a progressive leader and replace him with a despot who they prop up, advertise and defend at all costs in return for allowing them to rob Africa. Mobutu is not any different from Museveni. Its Neo imperialism at its best.

Pretty much every African nation had a good chance of becoming wealthy. Sadly, they opted for state centric, overly ambitious, industrialization-over-agriculture policies, which lead to massive corruption, waste and exploitation of majority of their population (the people working on land). It took 7-8 years for people chanting praises for Kwame Nkrumah, to people chanting as they toppled his statue since he ruined a prosperous country. There's an optimistic agricultural report on Congo from 1962 available online (it was written prior to independence, I think), that gives some sense of the bright prospects for Congo in particular. There's also a great article on 'How socialism underdeveloped Africa', but its only partially available, and its also the only English place that deals with the 'L'Afrique Noir est malpartie', a book by the sadly unheeded Rene Dumont. It reconstructs the foibles and follies of African leadership post-independence.

You know nothing

NOT true.. Belgium being cousins to french would not have done anything to make Congo better for natives.at independence few Congolese were educated to even take over the country. The independence was more like abandonment because they came back to sabotage, leading to killing of Lumumba

@@bloggtalk5085 i still believe Lumumba being the instigator of the congo demise. may he rest in peace but he should have negotiated for a smooth exit of the belgians instead of it happening abrupttly. i was born in the DRCongo and saw how things have changed from the belgian era to what it is today….. it is just too sad to even start relating here.

Rest in power Patrice Lumumba.

Despite claiming anti-communist, Mobutu idolized (Mao) and ran the country like a communist.

Stop simplifying Africa's problems. Who arms both sides of the divide? Who builds up a man's ego until he believes he is a God? Mobutu did not make himself ... he was made!

France had nothing to do with Mobutu,except for his shopping sprees.the man had absolutely no conscience🫣😡

Yeah but they pin 💯 male's I don't believe nothing that they utter

I'm here

The producers of this program should also tell us why the likes of Lumumba who wanted a better Congo was killed?

Stop wasting our time

A bunch of lies.

France??? Get your facts straight!😡

I only know he had a cocktail named after him.

Hello, I have a couple of question if you don't mind answering, also I'm sorry if asking these questions might seem suggestive, I really don't have ill intentions writing this: in light of historic events and known information as well as studies about human physiology would you say that it'd be easy to create a sort of nazi like ideology but revolving around the subhumanity of the white race to unite Africa under one banner? Do you think it is possible for the white race and the black race to coexist in peace? What should transpire for that to happen? Do you believe that patriotic and nationalist sentiment among Africans is a natural consequence and foult of white imperialism and thus justified to be? Is African nationalism different from European nationalism? (By that I mean it doesn't lad to xenophobia) Can a black man be rascist against a white? And finally, do you see christiany with all its denominations as a white man's tool, and therefore a fake belief, or is christianity true, but it so happened that unfortunetly the word of God is used against humans by sinful whites? I humbly wish you a good day and hope you'll respond to my questions.

I have a couple of question if you don't mind answering, also I'm sorry if asking these questions might seem suggestive, I really don't have ill intentions writing this: in light of historic events and known information as well as studies about human physiology would you say that it'd be easy to create a sort of nazi like ideology but revolving around the subhumanity of the white race to unite Africa under one banner? 1-The caucasians are not subhuman, many of my trusted friends and family members are caucasians, what is the issue here is greed, the desire to dominate by some (black or white). You will not unite Africa by hating whites, if you do it, Africa will destroy its soul.... I do not believe in hatred between the races Do you think it is possible for the white race and the black race to coexist in peace? YES What should transpire for that to happen? 2- Harmony, peace, fraternity.... You seem to imply some afrocentric view of the world... I am for human dignity and respect for the human race (black or white) Do you believe that patriotic and nationalist sentiment among Africans is a natural consequence and foult of white imperialism and thus justified to be? 3- All over the world nationalist sentients are visible, French are patriotic, Americans are patriotic, Vietnamese are patriotic, European are proud of their culture.... African are and should be proud of themselves, of their history, of their culture regardless of the past......Africans must not be patriotic because of colonialism, but despite the wrong of the past Is African nationalism different from European nationalism? (By that I mean it doesn't lad to xenophobia) 4- I have seen Africans who hate whites and whites who hate Africans, it is not a white or black issue, it is a human issue..... People, black or white should be proud of their culture of their origins for there is no superior culture... they (cultures) are simply different Can a black man be rascist against a white? YES And finally, do you see christiany with all its denominations as a white man's tool, and therefore a fake belief, or is christianity true, but it so happened that unfortunately the word of God is used against humans by sinful whites? 5- I do not clearly share your beliefs.... I do not hate white people, I am an African, and some of the people who made the most meaningful impact on my life happened to be white, some people who positively changed the course of my life are white and I see them as family.... I have seen wickedness among blacks...we do not have the monopole of virtuousness by being black.....I find your insinuations a bit simplistic not encompassing the complexity of the situation, the complexity of human psychology. Africans have been wronged, there was power differential in our earlier interactions with the whites, no question about it, but the amalgam you are putting forward is not appealing. Christianity is a beautiful religion when applied with its intended morality, it is a code of conduct... I will not call it a fake belief... that will be an insult to christians the world over I humbly wish you a good day and hope you'll respond to my questions.

@@Wezon5738 Thank you for answering. I was just curious, as I have writen, if any of what you read seemed suggestive, that was not my intention. Its just that I've seen different views regarding the topics I have put forward in my questions. For example, the simple question if a Black person can be racist towards a white...not everyone would answer as you did. Because of different definitions of rascism. The American definition is different, my country's definition is different and then there's this intuititive universal one that everyone "knows" and we all sort of agree on it.

You guys in Togo had your own crazy-ass megalomaniac dictator, Gnassingbe Eyadema.

What is your point?

And the name Zaire?

@@kholeka8475 it was the name of the river. the bakongo (kongo kingdom) called it Nzadi river. « Nzadi o Nzere » the river that engulfs all other rivers. The Europeans mistranslate it to Zaire.

@@kholeka8475 None of the countries that has "democrat" in their names are democraticy. E.g.North Korea, Laos...

Because in those years, Zaire was more developed than Dubai, Korea, and many more countries... it was a big powerhouse back in the days.

Not quite. The answer is simple: he forked over the money for it, and made it a big cultural lure with authenticite and 'return to Africa', etc. But by that time Congo was already not prosperous; the copper incomes plummeted, and Zairianization caused economic chaos. South Korea had already risen higher and in a much more economically stable way. Though, this is also a time (1974) when SKorea had turned to hardcore HCI industrialization under the yushin authoritatrian system. It was just about to leave the rest of the underdeveloped world in the dust and become what we know today.

he pay 10 millions ,in 1974

@@troll_zizipiano2kiev You're right. It was the second most industrialized African country during independence

@@beorntwit711 You're partly wrong, partly right. Wrong, in 1974 the Congo's economy was still sound: the prices of diverse minerals were still high, including the mainstay, the cooper; and the country's currency was still very strong (1 Zaire = 2 dollars). This was a great incentive for Muhammad Ali and George Foreman to materialize "the rumble in the jungle", in spite of the Zairianization and radicalization policies, whose negative consequences were mostly felt in 1976. The turning point occurred in 1975, the year the commodities' prices plummeted due to the oil crisis, bringing the economy into a tailspin and compounding the misfortunes brought about by the Angolan civil war that cut off the less costly exporting of raw materials from Katanga province through the port of Lobito. For the raw materials had to be moved by railway from Katanga to the port of Ilebo, in the Kasai, then transported in ships from Ilebo to Kinshasa, and finally on railway from Kinshasa to the port of Matadi. On the other hand, you're right to point that the regression of the Congo's economy in mid-1970s was coeval with the rapid industrialization of South Korea. President Park Chung Hee, who, as Mobutu, was an army general, a ruthless dictator, and propped up by the USA, was a totally different breed of statesman. He had the merit to establish a developmental state, put en end to the corruption of the Rhee regime, and initiated a series of five-year plans that diversified the economy and set on prosperity upon export-oriented industrialization by his takeover in 1961. My master's dissertation in political science is a comparative study of transitional economic policies of the Congo and South Korea during that era.

It isn’t always, I don’t think many people would describe Bill Clinton’s second term politics as fascist

No country lacks smart people hence even the smartest and most educated people have to undergo a selection process to access research or engineering jobs. Most innovations are made by a handful of people in every generation while the smallest country has literally thousands of smart individuals. Our world has never had a shortage of genius. The main issue is how a society uses the intellectual resources available. When smart people are not given a chance to make a difference, IQ does not really matter.

@@noviloba IQ absolutely matters and how you claim the best way to utilize it does as well. The research around IQ is vast and it should be common knowledge at this point. Your huge statement on how people are used/distributed requires a bit of building up. Off hand I would reject it as a statement nobody can know/beyond individuals but if you can refer me to some credible research I'll gradly read it and my mind is open on that subject.

@@andrewevans4722 I did not said that IQ does not matter, only that statistically human populations of millions always have a surplus of smart people. Just apply the normal distribution to 10 million people anywhere in the world and you will find out how many thousands should have a high IQ, based on this probability distribution. There's always more than enough to fill all the top universities in the world. That's why elite institutions cannot use all the smart people available. You do not need references to credible research to validate this, you only need an average IQ and an understanding of basic statistics.

@@noviloba Okay we are largely talking about different things. The real problem are those on the bottom end and how to raise them up. If you have below 85IQ you cannot read and follow directions. Not just that, there are only so many jobs available to people at that level. We live in an increasingly technical society and these people get left behind. The only things research has proven is that IQ is raised generationally with consistent nutrition and the presence of books in the home growing up. What many developing countries deal with in my opinion is what to do with the generation of two that hasn't caught up yet as they end up in the margins of unemployed or disadvantaged. In America, segment by segment, this happened group by group. My great grand parents for example were likely not college material.

@@andrewevans4722 I don't live in America, in Africa however most people still live in the countryside, so they are well adapted to their environment with the level of IQ they have. It's not sustainable for the whole world to live like Americans anyway. The resources of the planet are far too small for that. It befalls smart people to find better and more sustainable solutions for the whole of humanity. That's the point of having people who specialize in solving complex problems... In a good society, nobody should be left behind.

the problem is this sleepless giant might collapse before it can rise the population is too diverse and there's nothing much that keeps them together

@@justsomeguy1695 Well that is up to the Congolese population. I believe it can

⁠@@TheBastardo007Hope so, but seeing what happened to other other ethnically diverse countries, like Burma and South Sudan, I’m feeling rather pessimistic

I bet Mobutu was just an angel caught in the middle. He never murdered anyone. Just a regualr Joe. Poor man.

That's like blaming the British and French for WW2. Yet they weren't the ones who forced Germany to invade Poland.

@@imgvillasrc1608Terrible comparison. Britain and France did not control Germany's governments.

What is that book about

@@HidalgodeAndalucia Wikipedia's summary: "The novel centers on an expedition searching for diamonds and investigating the mysterious deaths of a previous expedition in the dense tropical rainforest of the Congo."
