YoshihideSuga:

Agreement is agreement. This has nothing to do with racism. This is the problem when a Black African lives abroad for too long - they view every interaction from the point of race rather than context.

And you think if the girl was white American the outcome would be the same ?

TheWitchKing:


Why would US arm Rwanda against Congo ?

The war in the Congo is about coltan and other rare minerals that power the global tech industry. Coltan is essential for making smartphones, laptops, and other electronic devices, and Rwanda has been falsely presenting itself as a major coltan exporter while smuggling it from the Congo.

For over 25 years, Rwanda has been involved in destabilizing eastern Congo to keep control over this valuable resource. The Western powers backing Rwanda benefit from this arrangement because it ensures a steady flow of minerals at low costs, without Congo directly profiting from its own wealth.

TheWitchKing:


What is the Role? You all are quick to call US and say they are evil, I wonder what you would say about Belgium and .

The U.S. and other powerful nations are already involved in the Congo conflict—just not in the way many people expect. Instead of deploying their own troops, they back Rwanda with military aid, intelligence, and diplomatic . Rwanda, in turn, funds and arms groups like M23 to destabilize the Congo and control its vast resources.

TheWitchKing:
Rwanda and DRC day yet issue , you day burn US embassy.
These people are just very useless.

It is unfortunate that you don’t understand the role the US is playing in this conflict. Don’t blame the Congolese. We are a peaceful and welcoming people

OkCornel:


A stable and prosperous DR Congo & Africa is a threat to the imperialists.

I’m pretty sure they knew this as far back as the 1940s.

Are you aware of the prophecy of Simon Kimbangu on Patrice Lumumba and the DR Congo?

Are you Congolese by any chance

Babangidapikin:
DRC refuse to show leadership, they keep doing Tribal , Ethnic things which is causing their problem . Rather than unite together as a country .. I bet if I have the resource I could have my own Militia with a few of their citizens and I will milk their resource. This recent one was instigate most likely by the recent executions which might have Tribal colorations. The U.S would not seat down and watch you execute it's citizens irrespective of how grave their crime is.

Can you please explain the bolded

Babangidapikin:
DRC is not showing leadership by not securing those embassies, those countries have legitimate right to declare war on DRC .

And those countries have been at war with DRC already.
For years, foreign powers and neighboring nations, like Rwanda and Uganda, have been involved in the conflict, primarily to exploit the DRC’s vast mineral resources.

erniok:

I'm calling him out for saying the west alone.
Every major power wants a slice of Africa's wealth.

That is because the West has historically had the most significant and enduring impact on the continent.
For instance, English and French are still widely spoken across Africa, and many African countries maintain legal and political systems that are modeled after their colonial rulers. The names people carry in these countries are from the west.
African don't carry Russian nor chinese names.

erniok:

You guys post funny things just for likes.
The weapons NA is using against bandits and terrorists are from where again.
Why are you not looking China and Rusdias way if you feel the west is playing the ostrich.

China and Russia also have interests in Africa’s resources and strategic positioning. Every major power has played a role in the resource extraction and geopolitical manipulation across the continent.

43Ronin:

The worse part is that they don't even know what's happening there but jump on the bandwagon of western media to rubbish. The M23 rebels are people from Eastern Congo. They have been oppressed, killed & all manner of crimes don to them simply because the central govt wants the mineral resources there. Let them breakaway now, govt say no, oya treat them with respect govt say no, den kamala finally burst. The people of gomer are tutsi people of Rwanda the French dubiously mapped into congo so why would Paul kagame not be involved in protecting his people from Cong DR govt. It's just like if SW were a country with Lagos being capital and yorubas in benè & Togo were being killed won't yorubas in Nigeria intervene? You can imagine congo govt cut off power and water to the people off Gomer

This argument is the same excuse that has been used for decades to justify Rwanda’s interference in eastern Congo—but it’s a false narrative designed to cover up resource looting and geopolitical manipulation.

Here’s why:

M23 is not a legitimate "oppressed group"—it is a Rwandan-backed militia.

The M23 rebels claim to be fighting for the rights of Tutsis in eastern Congo, but in reality, they are a proxy army for Rwanda.
Numerous UN reports have exposed Rwanda’s direct military and financial for M23.
These rebels do not just fight for "protection"—they terrorize, kill, and displace millions of Congolese civilians.
Rwanda’s interest is not in protecting Tutsis—it’s in stealing Congo’s minerals.

The areas M23 occupies (North Kivu, Ituri) are rich in coltan, gold, and other rare minerals.
Rwanda is one of the biggest exporters of coltan in the world, yet it has almost no coltan mines—where do you think it comes from? Eastern Congo. The “ethnic argument” is a smokescreen.

Yes, colonial borders created issues, but this is not just about ethnicity.
If Kagame was truly concerned about Tutsis in Congo, he would advocate for their rights peacefully, not send armed rebels to occupy cities and kill civilians. Many Congolese Tutsis do not M23 and just want to live in peace.
Cutting off water and power is a wartime measure, not ethnic oppression.

This happens in conflicts worldwide.
Rwanda has also cut off supplies to its own people when it serves its strategic interests.

The real question is: Why is M23 waging war in Congo in the first place? The answer: control of resources.
The truth is simple: M23 is not fighting for Tutsi rights—it is fighting to help Rwanda steal Congolese wealth. The sooner people stop falling for this ethnic excuse, the sooner real solutions can be found.

OneOnland:

You're a bot, could you shut up on African matters? The West s Israel slash the West and Israel are one, beautiful. But could you shush your narrative away from African matters?

Thank you so much

Ayohbk:


You can only be manipulated if you are also only looking for your personal gain. if I try to bribe you , you can take it or leave it. but if you are someone with corrupt personality you will never see the choice to leave the bribe .

The say "Everybody has a price" suggest that no one is completely incorruptible.
Every person can be persuaded or corrupted if offered enough money, power, or something they deeply desire.
Given the right incentive, anyone might compromise their morals, values, or loyalty.

Ayohbk:


But the tools do not use themselves. The rebels are Congolese killing and making life uncomfortable for their fellow Congolese. Are you saying if I give you a gun to kill your family , you will do it it just because I gave you a gun or you did it just because if your selfish benefit from the act

If someone gives you a gun to kill your own family, you still have the choice to say no—but what if you're desperate, uneducated, or promised wealth and power? This is how many of these rebel leaders are recruited. They are not fighting for ideology or justice; they are fighting for personal gain, manipulated by powerful external forces that want to keep the Congo weak.

Ayohbk:



I agree it is a battle for resources. But why is it that rebel groups arise in African countries with resources. Norway, UAE, Denmark, Canada are countries rich in resources , we don't see rebel groups there. But always African countries with a selfish group of people wanting to control everything illegally and ship to the west but gain the money for themselves . of course , the west will encourage this or look the other way as long as their people's lives are not affected.

Rebel groups don’t just arise randomly—they are often tools used by external powers to control resources in weak or unstable states.

Countries like Norway, UAE, Denmark, and Canada have strong institutions, governance, and economic systems that ensure resources benefit the nation. In contrast, many African countries, including the DRC, Sudan, and Central African Republic, suffer from weak institutions, corruption, and external interference.

Ayohbk:



Typical African blaming the west for their problems. You have a rebel group who are Congolese attacking their country and their fellow country men just to secure resources to sell to the west and keep the money to themselves. Yet you blame the west. If I ask you to give me your parents money , and you say yes. Then you harm your siblings and parent just to steal the money and give to me. Am I to blame ? also do you think I will discourage you not do it. When will we Africans start taking responsibility for our corrupt , selfish and chop everything finish behavior.

TOPCRUISE:
Russia gets uranium from Congo so it is understandable why the west Rwanda

The war in the Congo has nothing to do with Russian and uranium—it's about coltan and other rare minerals that power the global tech industry. Coltan is essential for making smartphones, laptops, and other electronic devices, and Rwanda has been falsely presenting itself as a major coltan exporter while smuggling it from the Congo.

EmeeNaka:
Able bodied men setting US embassy on fire when they can fight to defend their country. Are the M23 soldiers hiding? Do they prefer US able bodied men to come into Congo to fight for able bodied Congo youth? A nation of 150 million people crying and destroying US embassy because a militant group captured a city.

The U.S. and other powerful nations are already involved in the Congo conflict—just not in the way many people expect. Instead of deploying their own troops, they back Rwanda with military aid, intelligence, and diplomatic . Rwanda, in turn, funds and arms groups like M23 to destabilize the Congo and control its vast resources.

Burning embassies won't solve the problem, but neither will blaming ordinary Congolese youth. The real battle is against the hidden hands fueling the conflict.

OriOko88:

Foolish people. Instead of their army to invade Rwanda and give them wotowoto, they're attacking embassies.

Tiny Rwanda giving a giant Congo sleepless night. Dr congo that's as big as Brazil with abundant rainforest. If any European country has the level of resources in Dr congo, she'd be d richest in the world. But d blacks in Dr congo know nothing to do with those minerals. Pathetic!

Rwanda is not acting alone. It has the backing of powerful nations that provide it with military , intelligence, and diplomatic cover. The UN Security Council’s inability to take decisive action against Rwanda is largely due to the influence of these permanent , who have their own interests in the region’s resources.

Given this reality, the Congolese people face a complex challenge.
The real enemy is not just Rwanda but the global system that enables resource exploitation in the Congo.

dibunotion:
This will be the fate of Nigeria if our leaders continue to abuse our resources and sovereign wealth

Don't wish this to happen to your country. It will only serve the interrest of foreign power.

OkCornel:
In the late 90s, Laurent Kabila and the rebels invaded the DRC from the east and ousted the incompetent Mobutu Seseseko…

Are we about to witness a repeat of something similar in 2025?

Observing…

Your perspective reflects the painful lessons learned from history. The Congolese people initially ed Laurent-Désiré Kabila, believing he would bring positive change after Mobutu’s decades-long rule. However, his alliance with foreign powers, particularly Rwanda and Uganda, led to prolonged instability, resource exploitation, and immense suffering.

We have learned from the mistakes of 1997 and understand the dangers of ing rebel movements backed by foreign interests. The suffering and exploitation that followed Kabila’s rise to power, particularly with the involvement of Rwanda and Uganda, serve as a stark warning.

This is why many Congolese today are determined to defend the current government against any foreign-backed rebellion. They recognize that instability only benefits external forces seeking to plunder the country’s vast resources. The priority now is to strengthen national unity, reinforce sovereignty, and push for internal reforms that truly serve the interests of the Congolese people.

OLD SOLDIERS

Former Nigeria international football heroes.
L - R : Waidi Akanni, Wasiu Ipaye, Friday Elaho and Henry Nwosu.

As a congolese, ever since I had discovered the Super Eagles, Henry Nwosu was the player who had impressed me the most.

He played as a midfielder and was an important figure in Nigerian football during the 1980s. Nwosu was part of the Nigerian national team that won the 1980 African Cup of Nations. He also represented Nigeria in various international competitions, including the 1984 and 1988 Summer Olympics.

Henry Nwosu was known for his dribbling skills during his football career. He was highly regarded for his technical abilities, close control, and flair on the ball, making him one of the standout midfielders of his era in Nigerian football. His dribbling prowess, combined with his vision and creativity, made him a key player for both his club and the Nigerian national team. Some consider him second only to Okocha when it comes to dribbling.

During the final of 1988 AFCON, Nigeria faced Cameroon, with Kunde scoring the Cameroonian goal from a penalty! Henry Nwosu had a magnificent headed goal disallowed, even though the ball ended up in the back of the net. Antoine Bell saw the ball but couldn’t get a hold of it. I still that game as if it was yesterday.

Henry Nwosu played for several clubs during his football career, including:

New Nigeria Bank (NNB) FC: One of Nigeria’s prominent clubs during the 1980s.
African Continental Bank (ACB) FC: Another Nigerian club where he showcased his skills.
ASEC Mimosas: A top club in Ivory Coast, where he played for a period.
Racing Boufassom Cameroun
These clubs benefited from his technical skills and football intelligence during his playing days.
After his playing career, he became a coach, taking on roles with various Nigerian football teams.

God1000:
But why are Nigerian women behaving behaving like that

You hardly hear such thing about women in other countries.

And how do you know that?

Markodoh:
We only depend on luck we do not play to win

It is a shame that our leaders are corrupt shame to Nigeria government and their leader

Com’on … would you say the same thing about the leaders should had Nigeria won this match ?

Agunesinjaweola:
God will answer SA prayer 🙏 and play with the host country on Sunday's Final !!

Nigeria should return home 🏠 today !

No team will go home today.

Cool

Psady:
putting my money on Dr Congo to lift the trophy.

Que Dieu t’ecoute

MummyIMadeIt:
CIV have a got a handful and mouthful of an uphill task against DR. Congo.

Reasons:

1. Dr. Congo has a similar football style with Mali as it pertains "man for man" marking.

2. They have got goal threatening players up front unlike Mali.

3. CIV have nothing less than 4 key players missing out on the Semis due to yellow cards accumulated

4. I prefer Dr. Congo in the Final than CIV, as with the later, any chance of them playing in the finals means they've got it in wraps.

You guys are starting again.
I wonder how come none of you had amassed wealth through sport betting
