Thank you for posting this, it is insightful. There is not much footage of everyday life in Congo. Westerners who know a thing or 2 about Congo assume it is war-torn like Afghanistan. This video shows how many people live relatively peaceful lives. The river is amazing and powerful.

*@Richard Fry* I'll try.......for the moment I could ask the same of you , give documentation how the former colonial rulers these days do all in their powers to put right the mess they left. Belgium is known to have had the worst colonial policies.....Sure ...the people themselves also might be to blame. But history shows that when a new head of state appeared in these nations who wanted to undo colonial policies ,they were assasinated by the c i a . Belgium and the rest of the nato nations being U.S. vasal states. To this day you can Google how west European economic policies give most African nations a lousy deal.

He asked a simple question and you avoided it. I can tell you why Congo is f**ked, their leadership, rampant corruption that nothing gets done, rampant corruption that no taxes are collected, and what little is collected is syphoned away . The government is not accountable anything. Rwanda a country next door seems to be doing okay? Why?

Dank je wel voor dit video. After travelling extensively around three continents in my VW campervan I was approaching Africa to cross the Sahara and travel up the Congo River but unfortunately I had my van stolen in Seville Spain which of course shattered my further dreams. So I watch your video and live the barge life going upriver. I had already gone down the Amazon River and worked in Holland working on the Rhine River for two years so I was really looking forward to doing this trip.

Q: Man, how wide is that river!? A: It increases from a width of more than 3.5 miles (5.5 km) downstream from Isangi (where the Lomami enters the Congo) to a width of 5 to 7 miles (8 to 11 km) and on occasion-for example, at the mouth of the Mongala-to 8 miles (13 km).

So, Congo is rich because people can build a boat out of wood? Or they can uncontrollably cut down the forest and sell it for a dime? Or to sell cheap any natural resouces they got? If they are so hardwoking, why people dont clean after themselves...there's a dirt and waste everywhere, why dont they rely, protest and change that govt? ...all I see there is completelly unconcern undereducated crowd, polluting and destroying everything.

Fascinating and captivating ....Thanks for sharing this. One wonders why this river is brown though....might it be the thousands of towns and villages that dump their untreated waste in this mighty river ? And why don't we see any grazing wildlife or hippos , for whom this never ending greenery could be their salad bowl ? We might presume that apart from the few Europeans here with a regular supply of bottled mineral water, the regular population also drinks out of the Congo ? Although the Belgians themselves did too though, but a century ago before the population explosion it might've been still safe to do so.. It's good news bytheway,..that "the bishops are not corrupt"....there once was a time ,that was a whole different story..... Docus like this should be required viewing at schools and for everybody else , so we might take our daily comforts a bit less for granted ?
