Democratic Republic of Congo 10:22 - Dec 13 with 1386 viewswhoflungdung

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

I think the bigger question is, would they have been in a better position today had colonialism not happened?

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.

A very silly original post.

Unimaginable ?
Do you mean like the genocide committed in Europe by the Nazi regime ?
Do you think colonial rule for Nazi Germany should be discussed ?

Nonsense.

Beware of the Risen People

Birth control and education would be advisable.

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.

Fair point tom, but downhill is key word.

Not sure colonialism led to the nepotism that most African countries now suffer from.I say countries but it's the people who suffer not the leaders and their cronies

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.

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.

The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

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.

I'm very familiar with the Congo as I've extended family who were missionaries when it kicked off .

Simple facts

Belgians Leopold a great mass murderer ..

What followed was a blood bath


Not racism post ,simply a statement of fact. African countries are almost all basket cases
