  • When Congo gained independence, it had the best road network in Central Africa. However, the condition of the roads has declined drastically and now only 2% of the roads are paved. During the rainy season, many parts of the country become a muddy swamp.

      I agree, I watch these and the most dangerous ways to school or something similar on the Free Documentary channel.
      It’s so sad to see how hard these people have it. I believe everyone should have to watch these, especially here in America. We are so wasteful and greedy here, it’s truly sickening.
      I’m not saying everyone of course, but unfortunately there’s more ungrateful people than there are grateful, at least imo it seems that way.
      Chasing the dollar is more important to most people than helping and loving one another.

      Now that you have watched this video and made a conclusion, you need to research more about who is owning or governing this country. UN inclusive, this country is being governed by other four or more governments, some african and others from outside of Africa and that's why there's nonstop conflicts. In a way, these minerals are a curse because there wouldn't be anyone interested in this country if it wasn't so rich in minerals

    Yes -- travelled that road many many times - but on past Bukama to Kamina and on to Kipushya in East Kasai. Those were the days - before the roads were in the state they are now. A factor in the deteriation of the road is that they grossly overload the trucks. No rules here. We used to do Lubumabshi to Kamina in one day.

      Why doesn't anyone take the initiative to repair the road? I live in the rural united states, and when the government neglects to patch even minor potholes, people will go out of their way to repair them themselves. Surely some of these businessmen that rely on the roads would have resources to conduct basic repairs.

    Hate to say this, but, people showed that they are greedy and distrusted. Passengers are treated as assistance, load fees are overpriced. It's not just the government has to change, people have to learn becoming human as well.
    The woman is forced to pay for her fare, but they themselves trying to get away not to pay their food. That's the impression it left with this episode. I've watched Nepal and Philippine parts which are footage at the edge of the cliff and the level of danger is much worst, but the driver and people are more human and friendly, respectful and caring. This culture of people from this episode is the opposite. The danger for this documentary is centred only on the truck and not to the people on board.

    • @jon-snow-GOT

      I thought it was overpriced too until a trip that should be 6 hrs 450 km was expected to take 4 days but took a month. The film crew left after two weeks and couldn't finish the trip. Definitely not overpriced.

    • @jon-snow-GOT

      @ActionableFreedom Před 4 lety +3

      Yes I noticed this too. They are not better than us in a way, just less skilled or succesful at this capitalism thing. For better or for worse. I agree with Jon Snow too, but generally there are issues here. Stil for example, the lack of solidarity with the first truck that got stuck But if he helped him he might've goten stuck as well. It's both an individual problem and a systemic problem just like everywhere else. That roads main problem is not its lack of pavement. It's that it's like a channel by now. It's been pressed and pressed downwards with the trucks displacing and pushing down dirt.
      All it would take are a few dozers going the full track and flattening or adding some dirt from the sides. But with no taxes and corrupt western and now eastern corporations that corrupt local and national politicians the mining industry isn't contributing much either.
      Even that part is quite chocking. I mean how the heck does the mining industry deal with the crappy roads? It would benefit from better ones. It's all a mess.

    • @youarethebest9888

      Very risky for the owners to provide a service, wear and tear on the trucks are very high due to the roads, alot more fuel used offroading, and parts would be expensive. This would be cheaper then chartering a plane
