Democratic Republic of Congo 10:22 - Dec 13 with 1397 views | whoflungdung | Yet another rich African country killing its own people through greed and corruption the likes of which we cannot imagine I've posed the question many times Were black native people " better off" under colonial power It's hard to find many African countries that are better off after their independence I'm not saying Colonialism was nothing except self serving but it's just staggering to see these countries so wasting their natural resources | |

There is the argument that missionaries would have improved education and setup schools etc. and the World Health Organisation would have brought in more advanced medical technologies, all in a more peaceful way. | |

Democratic Republic of Congo on 12:32 - Dec 13 with 1328 views | whoflungdung | Nothing silly at all about the African countries unable to run their countries . The list is endless One could say Colonialism United them . Ironically, tribalism seems prevalent more now. Ask Zimbabweans how free they felt under Comrade Mugabe | |

I'd argue that Mugabe's downturn was a product of colonialism, he was a teacher before turning freedom fighter against colonial rule - then held as a political prisoner, it all went downhill from there. | |

Democratic Republic of Congo on 13:58 - Dec 13 with 1268 views | Sir_Robin | I suggest you read up on the atrocities committed by the Belgians in the Congo before making such ill-informed and, quite frankly, racist comments. | | | |
Democratic Republic of Congo on 14:03 - Dec 13 with 1262 views | Highjack | In the instance of Congo, the Belgians disappeared almost overnight leaving a power vacuum that was contested by the most ruthless people imaginable. And they've been knocking the shyt out of each other ever since. | |

Democratic Republic of Congo on 14:08 - Dec 13 with 1257 views | DwightYorkeSuperstar | Too many countries have population numbers they can not sustain. As someone else said, birth control and education is the most pressing issue these countries should be tackling. | |
