Well the Italian Ambassador to the DR Congo was ambushed and killed the other day. They are not sure who did it but are blaming Hutu Rebels from Rwanda. This occurred in Goma Province of of the DR Congo near the town of Kivu.
I spent about a year in that area in 2009 and I can tell you it is a lovely place if you are interested in psycho murdering killers, poor people who have had everything taken from them and then been stomped in the mud, rapists who rape women and men to infect them with aids, Ebola, yellow fever, starvation, crushing poverty and a bunch of useless UN "Peacekeepers". They used to have Gorillas in the highlands(The ape kind) but the "Rebels" killed most of the game wardens and then killed the gorillas. They ate them and sold their hands, feet and organs to the Chinese for a potion of some kind.
When these guys show up you know you are going to have trouble

Some other news from Africa that I find interesting. People are fleeing the violence in Ethiopia by the thousands, where are they going??????
South Sudan..............................what? I have spent some time in SS when it first became a country. The civil war started there and I HAD to leave. It is one of the most violent places on Earth, so to flee to South Sudan means the place you are leaving must be really bad. I know Ethiopia has clamped down on the news from the area where they have a small civil war going on. One thing I know about Ethiopia and their military they are not afraid to just kill everyone.

Looks like the hairdo on that one in the foreground could be from Detroit or Chicago.
Africa is crazy.
One of my brothers spent about a year in Mauritania- definitely some wild stories.
I’d bet it was the upstart Icelandic Lives Matter movement.
...bet it wasn’t a quick kill of the ambassador either Sam. From the way you describe these animals, they likely dragged the process out for sometime.
Nothing a flame thrower wouldn't cure. Vultures
A certain portion of our population still complains that their ancestors were brought to the U.S. They give no thoughts about the fact they are much better off here than there. Bob
Looked like a nice group of fellers.
The one on the far right must be an apprentice.
They can be sure of one thing: there won't be a massive Italian bombing campaign in reply.
That old saying "The natives are restless" is not an old saying at all! Human life, or life of any kind matters very little there.
The wig deal is fairly common among them. They think it makes the scary. I have seen them with dresses on too. Those aren't apprentices those are child soldiers. They are dead inside and would gut you like a fish just to what you had for dinner.
The Ambassador was shot in the stomach and died of his wounds later at some POS local "hospital".
It's really a sad situation there that I don't think even napalm or tatical nukes would sort out. The evil is rampant for sure.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Gee- how can you say that about Sudan? Don't you know they are members of the UN Human Rights Commission?
And we REALLY need a green font option here.............
[sarc]This take a bit more effort, but...[/sarc]
I think I saw those guys hanging around a QT in Atlanta.
😄
I wonder how much of OUR tax dollars go there?
The entire continent of Afrika is a lost cause.
Until Africans unite and decide to help themselves no amount of foreign aid can help them. Corrupt governments, huge problems with bribery and a kill your neighbor mentality are recipes for disaster. They have money for AK47's and RPG's and not enough money to care for their own people. Sad, really sad.
Africa is and will never be anything other than a sewer. Talk about human rights violation, and nary a word about that from the left in the USA. BLM can take there message there and see how it plays out.
The guy with the hairdo probably has to go shoot a rap video.
Don't they do anything about 'gun violence' over there? We need to send them a boatload of liberals and BLM activists to get their problems sorted out. They would be preaching to their own, because all the non-blacks have left or been killed.
The lad on the right with the spear is definitely Old Skool but I bet he gets the job done.
Africa-populated the longest, progressed/accomplished the least.
I am glad your not in the DoS or JFKSWC, I made a LOT of money going to Africa😃
Most are missing the important points regarding the wealth which Africa has:
The report points out that Africa has considerable riches. South Africa’s potential mineral wealth is estimated to be around $2.5tn, while the mineral reserves of the Democratic Republic of the Congo are thought to be worth $24tn.
However, the continent’s natural resources are owned and exploited by foreign, private corporations, the report said.
For those uninterested in the abbreviations, this is expressed in TRILLIONS of dollars. Like it or not, we the countries outside of Africa are directly and indirectly responsible for most of what is taking place in African countries.
All that cheap aluminum comes from Guinea which mines 90% of the world's supply of bauxite.
Outside of Russia and Canada, the world's wealthiest diamond mines are located in African nations.
Best.
Sure, it has numerous resources that are not tapped and being tapped. But what does that get you in the continent as a whole? A pile of mud roads, slaves being sold, rape is the norm, killing is wholesale and there is not enough time left on Earth to change the dark continent. Nothing will change and the people in the USA that cry about reparations, unequal rights because they are "descendants" of slaves will never go there to do anything to help anywhere in that area. No money to be had, no "government" there will cower like here in the USA. Just my nickels worth.
China has a huge presence in DR Congo. They are stripping out all the wealth as fast as they can.
...ya beat me to it Sam. “Belt and Road Initiative”. Minimal research will yield maximum info as to their antics around the globe.
I have read that it may have been an attempt to kidnap him.
Certainly not planning any trips there in the near future,.........nor ever!
Coming to a city near YOU.
Horrible governmental corruption. OK, so how is that different from right here at home?? 😟
Its not an easy place to visit. I think the visa was one of the most expensive I have ever paid for and I want to say it $650. Leaving legally is even harder.
He's an unpaid intern learning the ropes.
Apparently he thought that a single bodyguard would keep him safe.
My impression was that the DRC was one of those places where you hired 3-4 local bandits who had a jeep with a pedestal mounted machine gun to chaperone you for your entire trip in their area.
