World's Most Dangerous Roads - Congo: Train in Hell

- 00:00 The Congo is plagued by a vast network of roads that are either impassable or nonexistent, leaving the Congolese with limited options for transportation. Unfortunately, air travel, the most reliable means of getting around, remains out of reach for the majority of the population.
04:25 Journeying through the southern region, the Hirondelle train traverses half the country, connecting the capital of Katanga, Lubumbashi, to Ilebo. This vital train link serves as a lifeline for the remote villages that depend on it.
13:40 When the rainy season arrives, the roads become completely impassable, hindering travel.
20:00 In order to sell their goods, some individuals resort to traversing the entire country by bicycle.
27:15 Trains often make unscheduled stops to accommodate hurried passengers.
31:21 In certain parts of the Congo, traditional kings still hold authority over their territories.
37:40 Given the poor condition of the roads, bicycles constantly require repairs.
44:17 Sabotaging traffickers frequently bring the train to a halt, disrupting its operations.
I think the government of Congo has no plan at all to improve the condition of the road.
They only think about their own bellies.... its shocking
Everything that I have saw in this documentary is in worse condition except people. I observed that the people are very Hardworking & non complaining. They are somehow managing their all day life. I wish that I will go their someday & help much as I can. 🇮🇳
That train looks like a trip to hell......
Democrats dream for our future
And a trip to survive
Been there 45 years ago. Nothing improved meanwhile, might be even worse now. We used to say, it's not a catastrophe, just hopeless.
A crap culture and low population IQ are a bad mix.
My God, half their lives is spent pushing vehicles out of the mud. WTF is wrong with the Congolese government?
Love the narrator and the narration
Best narrator ever, hands down.
I love the narrator. He tries to capture the feelings of the speaker he's translating for. Bravo. One of the big reasons I watch this channel.
Me too he is the best
In poor countries, safety is a luxury they cannot afford.
Same with pronouns
My country us so beautiful yet so divided. 🇨🇩
This train seems to be the heartbeat of the rural economy. Without it, many people's livelihoods get affected. The DRC government needs to make sure that its always on track!!!Very similar to Usman and his friends who serve the outlying villages.
The men pushing the bikes deserve every penny they make and more.
Yea literally a penny
Just for a few euro that how much the energy their use to get a better life,,glad we are living in good country,,,may God bless you my friend,,,
@@prialarawhat a lovely thing to say. May God bless you as well.
If looks this film remembering in my country Indonesia....decade 1950-2000 in my country condition all train same in Congo this is
Serius??
33:14 -If there is one thing that this documentary does a
great job of conveying it is that- "It's good to be the King"...
He who gets the gold makes the rules
Sometimes I feel like if I was president of Congo for just 10 years (two terms), I could jump start her economic development and prosperity. Congo hasn't realized her real potential yet. Love you Congo from Kenya 🇰🇪
Land of strong People...🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩
Maybe this vid was old like some 15 yrs ago, there attire like of 60's no one got cphones anyways thanks for the vid 😁
This guy my favorite narrator.
It’s generic English guy
I’ve watched dozens of these videos and I’m overwhelmed. Their world hasn’t changed much in hundreds of years and there nothing to give them hope anything ever will. They just have a will to survive that many in the world can’t imagine. Living in the USA I listen to entitled people whining about how tough their life is. They have no idea what tough really is. They wouldn’t survive a week in these countries. It’s sad I wish so bad there was a way to help them have it easier. Then again they appreciate the small blessings in life that many in developed countries take for granted and feel they deserve. I totally admire these people.
For 20 years the road is not maintained and abandoned. on a rainy days the car can be impassable . nowadays there's no
actions. The way for the man to travel is only a train if it is 30 km/ h speed. people seemed that they can't afford to buy bikes. they use the bicycle. the big problems are the transformation of a rail such as curve .
🌻
13:11 when producers realized that they will need to travel on trucks too...🤣
Our political leaders HAVE GOT TO CHANGE THEIR CORRUPT PRACTICES.
50:00 I love the narrator :-D
Good clip thanks
I’m waiting for someone to carry a house on their bike lol
Anyone knows this narrators name
I like his documentaries
@ 0:14 I got weak in the knees on that scene!
This is so Humbling to watch 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wow, those roads would be considered off road parks for ATV’s, dirt bikes and SxS’s here in the states. A place of recreation, not a primary route of travel. I respect them for be able to even travel those roads. Hopefully the government will help rebuild them sooner rather than later.
EU GOSTO DE ASSISTIR ESSES DOCUMENTARIOS DA AFRICA, RETRATANDO A REALIDADE DESSE POVO TAO SOFRIDO.
25:00
Mazie meal cooked into a very thick paste, rolled into ball then dipped in fat and if lucky eaten with a bit of meat.
What happened to the funds from the oil in Congo? are we to understand that
there is so much corruption involved, that the roads can't be fixed, and a proper
train service? it's the same corrupted trick being played on poor people the
world over
Congo does not have oil but it is blessed with numerous of all other mineral resources +lumber, water and plenty of land that is twice the size of France, Germany and UK combined ,those countries have a total population of over 200million yet Congo has a population of 86 million. If they had visionary governance and non interference from foreign forces they would be an African power house sadly it is one of the poorest countries in the world.
@@moxide ----I read about the Tilapia oil field, however I agree with your narrative
@@moxide Always foreigner's fault. Your so precious railroad was built by foreigners. 100 years later, still waiting for foreigners to build your roads?
the white british guy translating for the whole crowd LOL
Africa needs to unite as one country, build a nationwide infrastructure. Stop letting other countries use up all your natural resources. Each country has a govenor, and a rotating president. Africa has all the natural resources the world needs. So why not buildup the continent?
Your words can fool those uneducated. Natural resource worth NOTHING without global economy.
For instance: uranium worth a lot, but without nuclear reactor, it is just dirt.
Lithium worth nothing if you cannot make battery out of it.
You can own all the resources, but can you make an iPhone out of it?
Low IQ
Corruption.
They don't have people to work , they lazy af . They still use the things left by the colonists... Without European countries they would still live in trees
Greed and corruption, lots and lots of corruption!
the three bike legends... i salute you, use our a credit to your country
17:15 I believe decades ago before the Belgians left, these were proper blacktop roads. But since they left, the roads were never maintained and hence returned to jungle. The blacktop completely wore away. All road furniture and signage were stolen for scrap.
If the bike riders had the money they could fabricate simple adjustable "training wheels" for the front and back to help with weight distribution and balance that could be raised when pedaling. They could use solid rubber tyres to save on cost and adjust the positioning using a spanner.
make it like trike( bikes., 2 wheels in the back, not only it is self balancing, it carries more cargo easily.
They dont need money - they need brains and a government with brains too ……..cant help laughing at the idiots .
These people hadn't invented the wheel when we showed up, so..
@@fathertime9433 who are you and what did you invent?
Very hardworking people..I can feel every inch of their suffering. have so much respect to them..
What a joke. Imagine if Asians instead were native of Africa, it would be a very different continent. There is nothing wrong with africans, what is wrong is people assuming africans have to be what they're not. To each its own ecosystem and lifestyle. This is normal life to them.
@@goognamgoognw6637 so it's normal to suffer this way without even a basic road and rail connection?
@@goognamgoognw6637 or how about Europeans. Oh wait we don’t need to imagine that do we
@@armageddon9241 for Africans yes
@@PibrochPonder Nobody should be suffering for the basic needs and requirements. Be it Africans or Americans.
It does not matter how modern or clean a new train would be, they would still overcrowd it with luggage, animals and people. The ‘new’ train would be destroyed in very short time.
I dont know whats the reason why the government of congo doenst make a asphalt road of cement road so that the people can transport easily.
I wish there is a way to reach to Osman and help him by a donkey or wheels cart ? If you please let us know how .
Well it's not too late to ask for help they can get average roads from there neighbors like kenya can help because they will benefit equally
They push bikes 160 km...wtf???
they dont speak for themselves they speak for all .thoughtful .god bless.
Lots of countries in Africa are getting infrastructure development from partnership with China. Trains, buses, roads, ports, highways, dams, airports, bridges, etc. I really hope Congo partners with China to finally get the infrastructure they desperately need and deserve.
What govn.? Corruption is govn.s way of daily operation, a situation we r also in.
Long live the King and his Swiss bank accounts.
Lol
Although the Malawi is poor country, but this is too much Congo
Very very hard condition of road.
Watching this on Amtrac train
Every year the family have a newborn,,don't know how theys survive in enviroment like that,,
I can’t believe this sad man how these poor people do it I will never know my GOD be with you all
Documentário top.
See if similar rolling stock can be pulled from cast offs by Amtrak, commuter lines and freight companies to run a similar put up or shut up train in the US. But draw the line at riding on the roof and unauthorized persons on the locomotive.
😱have you ever lived in Africa anywhere at all??? Siberia, Asia and other impoverished parts of the world??? Your remarks are👎👎
@@violetnjokisorenson8354 how about trying this in the United States?
I'm on my way to Congo.. I hear they are digging gold
Cảnh này giống Việt Nam 🇻🇳40 years trước ...chúa trời sẽ phù hộ cho anh em
Narrator brought me here

Would it be difficult to keep horses as means of transportation ? Land seems green with lots of grass to graze any livestock.
The horse cannot survive in a tropical environment. Notice there are no wild animals around in those lush grasses.
is the audio synchro fuсked or is it my phone
Did you steal this video from The best documentary youtube channel?
This really makes me feel better about my peroneal tendonitis, imagine how much worse it would be if I had to push a bike like that . ..
Ajooor wes ajooor sepure
muito bom
I wish I could buy em all tire chains,tow straps, maybe a machine to help deal with the road. Be nice just to gravel and put in drainage for them
2,000 Congolese francs equals 0.98 cents usd. He was selling that shirt for 34 cents if anybody was curious
All jeep wrangler owners they should visit down there and help those van drivers on muddy areas
Wow
34:35
I’m done🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who is the narrator please?
O God …. This is one of the best comedies ever . Pothole is there so long …. Hahaha Ehhh we are too stupid to fix when dry and when it rain we are stuck again ….oh shit 😀😀😀😀😀. There is signs of a few brain cells like the one that realise clean lights work better ….. well done brother… maybe in 50 years you will stop sleeping in trees.
Why you don't go to the last destination
a few spare parts including a used oil filter what a tragedy
25:00 I understand Congo is a poor country but I'm sure they can sure use horse drawn wagons. Plenty of grass and vegetation for grazing.
#bestdocumentary
it's a bus so sad to see mineral rich country has this situation.
The only country that can build a decent highway and railway in the Congo is the Chinese. They could build it in 2 years or less. They already have interests in the Congo's plentiful mineral resources. The government should do a deal to have the Chinese take on infrastructure projects. They have a good track record in Africa. The West does not have the capacity, the will, or the money to do it. Of course, there are political and financial risks but what other option is there? It is sad to see fellow humans being transported like animals. No one in the world should be suffering such indignities.
You right,,,but how much cost they got to pay to made their dream come true,,,
The ignorance and superstition will never end and therefore they will never advance. Return 500 years later and it will be like a week has passed.
at 19.14 that black guy sure did move when it looked like he was about to get ran over!!!! loll
I am absolutely in tears watching this, I can’t believe these men have to go through this. I would do anything I could to help them. This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen, please please tell me how I can help them
LOLZ
You can help them by providing new buses and making the road 🤭
Get on a plane and go help them then
HOW CAN I HELP ANY OF THESE PEOPLE DIRECTLY?????????? SOMEONE LET ME KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
africa is like a fever dream.
It's like listening to Siri translate some shit I need translated.it would actually be more fun to
São Miguel Quixeramobim Ceará
Man think about the camera men having to record all these
The stink on that train has to be awful.Animals and African's dont wash that often and dont use deo under there arms!
what???
Aaaaand I’m good. Never going to Congo.
Anyone can tell, if there is all street like that or just some % in such condition
All the streets are like that. Life is miserable in these parts.

50:35 🤔
4:29
excuse me what??
Oh God
Still better than PNG
I have so many questions...
Why r they speaking french
Why r they trading in Euros
Why is her name Gabriela
Who's responsible for their this condition...
How did colonization help then in any way
When will they get compensation for their loot and torture
When will Europe apologize for atrocities they inflicted on their respective colonies.... 😡😡😡😡
Why government doesn’t care to take care the road? for their own people.
Biggest country in Africa with just a tiny connection to the Atlantic Ocean?
Former Belgian colony may have something to do with it.
Copyrighted
The audio is fucked up.
Why hasn't Belgium improved the roads in Congo
I think they would rather have crap roads and both hands than awesome roads and one hand.
Yall think Belgium even cares about the congo?
Poor man how is their president 😢 😔 is slow killer from iesrel
Something tells me that such a "civilized world" was left / built (select one) in this country by the French.
