A big part of Congo once was owned by their King Leopold II, hence Leopoldsville aka Kinshasa.
Then it became a colony, then free (59,60), later Zaire, and a playground under Lumumba, Kasawubu, Mobutu, Kabila.
Remember Katanga?
Zaire is rich in copper and cobalt, and diamonds.
The Belgians exploited it a bit.
To put it mildly. To bring you up to date:
"Rarely has Western savagery been more destructive than in the Congo.
These are the very same Europeans who like to moralize about us now
and let an endless slaughter go on for about 12 years in the former
Yugoslavia until we stopped it. Their idea was that candlelight
vigils in downtown Copenhagen was an adequate response. That worked
well, didn't it?
_NO_ None_Zero_Zilch of the western/eastern/UN/civilized nations/ deserves any respect for what they did/omitted to do/ in Congo.
