    I am just angry at the way our leaders in Africa are always cleptocratic at the detriment of our development.
  • @aspenin
    it really doesn’t matter whether the company’s from china, europe or the united states, because in the end, all of them have been doing the same thing for decades. it’s just how business is done in africa.

    You should do "How US cash money is flowing to ALL pro-US foreign regimes and parties" Answer: by legalizing bribery
  • @Bobby-dl6tg
    Lobbying is also a type of corruption in democratic worlds
  • @caven7056
    They should totally also cover the massive corruption the Congo has in collaboration with the west

    Why would normal human beings in their right minds destroy such an awesome wealthy country? All because of greed! Congo has been the greatest disappointment of all time. Lack of patriotism is the main problem. This country lacks patriotic leaders who love it...
  • I have been in DRC since 2010 and witness the congolese people accuse the Kabila family of corruption but I didn't believe it until now, what a shame.
  • Where are you going with this? The most brutal dictator in Haiti's history who instituted corruption that Haiti suffers to this day: Duvalier received arms from the USA. Oppressed people for decades then retired to a chateau in France in luxury with his millions in stolen public funds
  • in Zimbabwe, there is a 15 billion usd scandal in which the gvt is accused of stealing. With your quality skills, i believe you can make an amazing investigation that might help narrow down what happened to all that money
  • @paulmukundi9017
    Being an African... this is very sad... will congo people ever benefit from their wealth?
  • @k.k.c8670
    How about an investigation into the dealings of Glencore and other western companies? They've been at it for decades (centuries?) while leaving nothing much behind. Not just in Congo but all over Africa.

    In Zambia, the Chinese have taken over the major airport and the copper mines!
  • @ayenifiyin8732

  • @raziaseedat4606
    Don't donate money to Africa. Provide a service. For example build a road or a bridge. Provide infrastructure. Please no money must change hands
